Matt Taibbi calls out 'Censorship-Industrial Complex' in latest Twitter Files

Independent journalist Matt Taibbi put the "censorship-industrial complex" in a preview of his contentious testimony about his reporting on the Twitter Files. 

He revealed there was a directive within Twitter to "monitor all tweets" from the personal accounts of Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

"When #TwitterFiles reporters were given access to Twitter internal documents last year, we first focused on the company, which at times acted like a power above government. But Twitter was more like a partner to government," Taibbi wrote, sharing screenshots of internal emails from government agencies.. "With other tech firms it held a regular ‘industry meeting’ with FBI and DHS, and developed a formal system for receiving thousands of content reports from every corner of government: HHS, Treasury, NSA, even local police. Emails from the FBI, DHS and other agencies often came with spreadsheets of hundreds or thousands of account names for review. Often, these would be deleted soon after."
