The most alarming thing was the organized communication between the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and tech companies, involving flagging content in large numbers. Four federal judges have ruled that this violates the First Amendment. Former FBI officials within Twitter and other groups worked to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story, despite it not violating Twitter's terms of service. The FBI and CIA had their own internal groups within Twitter. The Aspen Institute held a workshop to discourage coverage of the Hunter Biden laptop story. Content moderators at social media platforms have too much power in determining what Americans can say and see. This collusion between unelected bureaucrats and tech companies is inappropriate and a form of election interference. The censorship organizations tend to have a biased leaning.

I have witnessed a remarkable collaborative effort among various agencies, reminiscent of the post-9/11 era. Multiple agencies have been working together tirelessly, gathering intelligence globally and providing real-time information to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The DHS and FBI have taken appropriate action, including working with social media platforms to remove content. Additionally, they have undertaken critical offensive measures worldwide. This has been an incredibly significant role in my career, and I am immensely proud of our achievements. Over the past few months, we have undertaken daring actions, both publicly and privately, and I believe they have all been successful.

We are partnering with Twitter to provide accurate vaccine information when users search hashtags like vaccination or anti-vaccine. Public health agencies' websites will appear in the search results. Similar collaborations have been done with other organizations. We have also discussed with Facebook about removing scientifically disproven or debunked information. Facebook is currently working with the US CDC and seeking input from experts to identify misinformation. If information is proven to be false, they have the opportunity to remove it. Additionally, we are collaborating with Google and other platforms.

Stanford University, University of Washington, Graphica, and the Atlantic Council were used as a front by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to manipulate social media during the 2020 election. The goal was to censor posts containing misinformation about mail-in ballots and other election-related topics. DHS lacked the legal authority to directly censor, so they set up the Election Infrastructure Partnership (EIP) to fill the gaps. These outside organizations received federal funding and worked closely with DHS to ban or throttle millions of posts and accounts. The entire operation was orchestrated to rig the election. The question now is whether there will be political accountability for these actions.

We are enhancing disinformation research and tracking in the Surgeon General's office. Additionally, we are flagging problematic posts on Facebook for review.

Social media companies are deleting accounts spreading disinformation about the pandemic, including state-sponsored groups. Violence against healthcare workers and minority populations is increasing. Some countries are implementing limited internet shutdowns to manage the overwhelming amount of misinformation. Experts believe that identifying every bad actor is a challenging task, as new disinformation campaigns are generated daily. Controlling and reducing access to information may be necessary to combat the problem. However, it's not just trolls spreading fake news, but also political leaders. It is crucial for news organizations, public health groups, and companies to promote accurate information to protect the public.

The speaker states that interference or federal election crimes will be aggressively investigated, and they will work with partners to quickly take appropriate action. They are also coordinating with private sector technology and social media companies. The goal is to ensure these platforms aren't used by foreign adversaries to spread disinformation and propaganda.

Speaker 0: Number one, we measure and track. Number two, we monitor and disrupt. We have a whole apparatus. I have 40 analysts working full time, seven days a week, twenty four hours a day, monitoring extremists. We monitor them online, social media, messaging apps, video games, cryptocurrency, podcasts, short form video, Wikipedia, LLMs. We monitor these people and we share the intelligence with the FBI. You saw last month, you heard about the thing that happened at Wilshire Boulevard Temple. Our analysts investigated what happened. They said they were Koreatown for Palestine, this group of people. They weren't. We were able to ascertain they were from a group called the Turtle Island Liberation Front. Turtle Island is how, like, left wing activists refer to The United States. They don't call it America. They call it Turtle Island. Like the Iranians call it, Iranians call it the Zionist entity, or they only call by its name. The Turtle Island Liberation Front, we gave them a whole dossier. Who are what is Turtle Island Liberation Front? What are their ideas, their goals? Who are they? We identified the people who are in the synagogue. This was on Wednesday, December 10. On Monday, December 15, this is gonna ring a bell. Kashmattel announced they cracked a terror ring where they arrested four people who are playing New Year's Eve bombings, Turtle Island Liberation Front. At least one of the people I know for certain was in the building at Wilshire Boulevard Temple vandalizing it and disrupting the event. So we're monitoring left wing radicals like the DSA and the anti war crazies and the pro Palestine crazies. We're monitoring right wing extremists like white supremacists, armed militia groups. We're monitoring political Islamists and Christian nationalists, all of them. And then we train. We're the largest trainer of law enforcement in America. Extremism hate. We train 20,000 officers every year.

CISA lacked the capability and resources to address election disinformation. To bridge this gap, a project was quickly formed involving four institutions. The project collaborated with government partners like CISA DHS and local/state governments, civil society groups including NAACP, MITRE, Common Cause, and the Healthy Elections Project, and major platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, and Nextdoor. Agreements for data access were made with some platforms, while analysts had to work individually with others.

We have discussed the intelligence community's efforts to share information with social media platforms to address fake content and ensure it aligns with their terms of service.

I have witnessed a remarkable collaborative effort among various agencies, similar to what happened after 9/11. This time, multiple agencies are working together tirelessly, collecting intelligence, sharing real-time information with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The DHS and FBI are taking appropriate action, including working with social media companies to remove content and conducting offensive measures globally. I believe this is the most significant role I have had in my career, and I am proud of our current success. We have taken bold actions, both publicly and privately, and they have all been successful.

CISA lacked funding and legal authorizations to understand election disinformation. To bridge this gap, four institutions collaborated to fill the void left by the government. The cooperation between government and tech platforms proved effective, resulting in numerous papers discussing takedowns. However, two challenges remain: how to sustain this collaboration and the lack of federal preparation in identifying and analyzing election misinformation and disinformation. The absence of a clear federal lead and limitations within the IC and FBI hindered progress. CISA provided support but lacked real capability due to unclear legal authorities, including concerns regarding the First Amendment.

37 hours after President Biden's inauguration, the White House opened a portal for the FBI to access social media posts, later including the CIA, DHS, IRS, and SAISA. SAISA is allegedly responsible for censoring information the government doesn't want Americans to hear. These agencies, including the CDC, could alter posts, slow walk content, and shadow ban users. The speaker claims their Instagram account with almost 1,000,000 followers was removed for "misinformation," despite no factually incorrect posts. Facebook reportedly pushed back, acknowledging the information was true, leading to the invention of the term "malinformation"—factually true information inconvenient for the government—which was then categorized alongside disinformation and misinformation. Emails allegedly show Facebook employees privately criticizing the White House, recognizing their actions as illegal but driven by immense pressure. Facebook and other media companies have deals with government and intelligence agencies, and the White House threatened their Section 230 immunity if they didn't comply.

Addressing disinformation requires a whole of society approach. It's not something that can be fixed by governments alone. This is a challenge recognized by some countries in Europe and North America. To combat disinformation, governments, multilateral institutions, social media platforms, and political leaders need to work together. Democracy relies on a healthy information space achieved through a collective effort. Countering disinformation requires a whole of society response, involving the private sector, public sector, and civil society. Cooperation from tech platforms and enforcement of terms of service are crucial, but government involvement is also necessary. The solution lies in a comprehensive approach that acknowledges the problem and involves all stakeholders.

To combat disinformation, it is crucial to unite countries and trusted sources to address false campaigns effectively. Trusted interlocutors, such as survivors, employers, faith leaders, and health workers, can help spread accurate information. Collaboration with the private sector to remove false information is essential. International organizations like the UN and WHO play a vital role in combating misinformation at a government level. Trust in these organizations is key to countering disinformation effectively.

Public health agency websites will appear in the search results. Similar collaborations have been done with other organizations.

The speaker discusses the intelligence community's efforts to share information with social media platforms to address inauthentic content. They clarify that the office of the director of National Intelligence would only participate in approved election security briefings with private companies like Twitter, YouTube, Microsoft, and state election officials. These briefings focus on discussing threats and have nothing to do with content moderation or the Biden laptop as Russian disinformation. The speaker mentions that there were weekly meetings between the FBI, DHS, and Twitter, but only one reference to their office. They hope that this reference was part of the approved process for election security briefings.

The Twitter files reveal that the federal government, including intelligence agencies like the FBI, used Twitter to censor Americans' speech. Twitter was closely connected to the FBI before Elon Musk took over. Documents show that Twitter engaged in information sharing with the intelligence community, and multiple agencies were involved. The FBI pressured Twitter to act on election-related tweets in 2020 and 2022, resulting in content censorship. Twitter executives restricted accounts, censored speech conflicting with the official narrative, and used internal tools to control and manipulate information. This should concern every member of Congress and American citizen, as it goes against the principle of free speech. Government and media fact checkers often make mistakes, so important debates should not be suppressed.

To protect social media companies from government pressure to censor content, an incoming administration could issue an executive order on day one. This order would prohibit government grants and contracts to any private company or nonprofit involved in domestic disinformation. This approach addresses the issue of government-funded censorship, allowing for the elimination of grants and contracts that support censorship activities. Currently, there are tens of thousands of individuals in the U.S. whose livelihoods depend on censorship work, a field that emerged in response to the 2016 election.

37 hours after President Biden's inauguration, the White House opened a portal for the FBI to access social media posts. The FBI then invited the CIA, DHS, IRS, and SAISA, which is allegedly in charge of censoring information the government doesn't want Americans to hear. These agencies, including the CDC, were given access to social media sites to change posts, slow walk content, and shadow ban posts. The speaker's Instagram account, with almost 1,000,000 followers, was removed for alleged misinformation, but the speaker claims that they never posted anything factually erroneous. The speaker claims that Facebook pushed back, stating that the posts were not misinformation. The White House then allegedly invented the term "malinformation," defined as factually true information inconvenient for the government. Facebook employees allegedly privately described the White House as cynical and terrible, believing their actions were illegal but were under pressure due to deals with the government and threats to Section 230 immunity.

The Twitter files reveal that the federal government, including intelligence agencies like the FBI, used Twitter to censor Americans' speech. Twitter was heavily influenced by the FBI before Elon Musk took over. Documents show that Twitter engaged in information sharing with the intelligence community, and multiple agencies were involved. The FBI pressured Twitter to act on election-related tweets in 2022 and 2020, resulting in content censorship. Twitter executives restricted accounts, censored speech conflicting with the desired narrative, and used internal tools to control and manipulate information. This should concern every member of Congress and American citizen, as it goes against the constitutional principle of free speech. Government and media fact checkers often make mistakes, so important debates should not be suppressed.

Addressing disinformation requires a whole society response involving governments, social media platforms, and individuals. Cooperation is needed from tech platforms and government to combat the issue. Collaboration across sectors is crucial for a solution.

To address disinformation and misinformation, it is important to bring together other countries and trusted interlocutors who can counter false narratives. This includes survivors, employers, faith leaders, and health workers. Collaboration with the private sector is also crucial in removing false information. Having reliable national and international sources, such as the UN and WHO, is essential in combating government-led misinformation. Trustworthy international organizations need to work together to spread trust and counter disinformation.

The administration is urging companies to be more aggressive in policing misinformation. They are in regular contact with social media platforms through senior staff and the COVID-19 team. The Surgeon General's office has increased disinformation research and tracking. The federal government is taking actions to address this issue.

Twitter was closely connected to the FBI before Elon Musk took over. Documents show that Twitter engaged in information sharing with multiple intelligence agencies. The FBI pressured Twitter to censor election-related tweets in 2020 and 2022. Twitter executives restricted accounts and censored speech that went against the preferred narrative. This should concern every member of Congress and American citizen because it goes against the principle of free speech. Government and media fact checkers often make mistakes, so relying on them as arbiters of truth is not reliable. Government should not suppress important debates in public discourse.
