The office of Arizona’s governor-elect Katie Hobbs, at the time she was Arizona’s secretary of state, requested the censorship of tweets. The revelation was contained within a data dump published back in September – however, the recent Hunter Biden-related release from Twitter has resurfaced the censorship.
Hobbs didn’t contact Twitter directly requesting the censorship. According to the documents, on Jan. 7 2021, the communications director of Hobbs’ Secretary of State Office sent an email to a third party – the Center for Internet Security (CIS) – requesting the review of a Twitter account.
“I’m flagging this Twitter account for your review,” the email to misinformation@cisecurity.org read. The subject of the email was “Election Related Misinformation.”
