- “The Twitter Files” have been released across several installments by multiple journalists over the past few weeks.
- Twitter CEO Elon Musk, who completed his $44 billion purchase of Twitter in late October, has promoted their release.
- “Part Six” showed instances in which the FBI agents communicated with Twitter content moderators, flagging posts that allegedly violated Twitter’s policies against election misinformation. As noted by journalist Matt Taibbi, who shared this installment, there was a “surprisingly high number” of requests from the FBI including those “involving joke tweets from low-follower accounts.”
