Twitter Files author Matt Taibbi is responding to Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., who accused him of 'gaslighting' Americans with the revelations into Twitter's previous conduct.
"The files show the FBI acting as doorman to a vast program of social media surveillance and censorship, encompassing agencies across the federal government – from the State Department to the Pentagon to the CIA," Taibbi said in a tweet.
"Hello Twitter contacts, FBI San Francisco is notifying you of the below accounts which may potentially constitute violations of Twitter's Terms of Service for any action or inaction deemed appropriate within Twitter policy," one email FBI employee wrote in an email on Nov. 10. A Twitter employee responded that three of the four accounts were suspended, and asked someone else at the company to review the fourth account flagged by the FBI for"possible civic misinformation."
Taibbi said that one of the accounts tweeted on Nov. 8,"I want to remind republicans to vote tomorrow, Wednesday November 9."
