The response was that these decisions are up to private companies and the administration was not involved. Another question concerned requests for tech companies to be more aggressive in releasing misinformation and whether the administration has been in touch with any of these companies. The response was that the administration is in regular touch with social media platforms through senior staff and the COVID-19 team. Actions the federal government has taken include increased disinformation research and tracking within the surgeon general's office and flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation.

FBI Special Agent Elvis Chan informed Twitter and other social media platforms about a potential hack and leak operation before the 2020 presidential election, despite having no evidence. The government had possession of Hunter Biden's laptop for a year and pre-bunked the story that eventually came out. The Aspen Institute held a tabletop exercise to prepare for a story about Hunter Biden and Burisma, with journalists and big tech executives present. The exercise aimed to discount and censor the story. Fifty-one former intelligence officials signed a letter claiming the laptop story was Russian disinformation, with the intention of helping Joe Biden win the election. This coordinated effort to suppress information is concerning and undermines democracy.

The office of the director of National Intelligence would have only participated in election security briefings with private companies like Twitter, YouTube, Microsoft, and state election officials. These meetings did not involve content moderation or the Biden laptop as Russian disinformation. Therefore, there was no authority or reason for anyone in the intelligence community to say otherwise.

The speaker serves on the armed services committee, overseeing cyber efforts and receiving quarterly classified briefings. After a recent briefing from the intelligence committee and Department of Defense, the speaker believes that the listeners and Tim Pool were victims of a Russian malign influence campaign. The speaker emphasizes that they were not involved or solicitous, but rather the victims. The speaker feels obligated to share this perception, based on access to intelligence and evidence, because the listeners and Tim Pool have been unfairly smeared. The speaker believes it's clear they were victims of Russian election interference, and that's how it should be portrayed.

The speaker states that, regarding election security, everyone must acknowledge egregious behavior and foreign influence, of which there is direct evidence. Other foreign partners also have evidence and were watching attacks on the election system on November 3rd. They are willing to provide that evidence directly to the president, and this evidence was received today. These foreign partners and allies are willing to help. The speaker concludes that foreign influence against election security and the SolarWinds system is dangerous, and more must be done.

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.

The speakers discuss the objective of mitigating harmful misinformation that aims to weaken national security and delegitimize institutions, including democratic elections. Speaker 1 expresses concern about the potential censorship of speech that criticizes institutions, such as calling for a different president or questioning the actions of the Pentagon. Speaker 0 clarifies that the focus is on matters of national security that explicitly undermine American institutions, like content intended to suppress voting or delegitimize election results without evidence. Speaker 1 argues that this narrow focus still encompasses a wide range of speech. The creation of a center of excellence and a disinformation governance board is mentioned as potential measures.

The speaker mentions that they have shared information with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regarding their findings. They have a relationship with local DHS personnel and have provided them with a significant amount of data. The DHS conducted scans and determined vulnerabilities. However, the speaker notes that the Elections division of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) did not participate in internal meetings or briefings on the presented material.

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.

The speaker emphasizes the importance of partnership between the federal government, state and local colleagues, and social media and tech firms in securing elections. They acknowledge the valuable information and opportunities that these firms possess, which the government does not have. The integration of these relationships has been a critical step forward since 2016. Speaker 1 expresses pride in the accomplishments of the past 2 years, particularly in the last 6 to 9 months, as a collaborative effort between the government and social media and tech firms. They believe this partnership will serve as a model for the future.

We learn about DC leaks and the connection to APT 28, a Russian military intelligence hacking group. The morning the Hunter Biden story broke in the New York Post, it was confusing. We didn't know what to believe, but it seemed like a possible hacking campaign by APT 28. Despite that, I didn't feel comfortable removing the content from Twitter.

During a discussion on Twitter's handling of terrorist violence and propaganda, the speakers debated whether it was problematic for the company to profit from such content. They also discussed the issue of systematic flags for potential violations of Twitter's terms of service, with only 35% of flagged tweets resulting in action and 13% being removed. The conversation then shifted to the topic of election interference, with one speaker acknowledging Russia's use of social media in the 2016 presidential election. The discussion concluded with a debate about the authenticity of the Hunter Biden laptop and the transparency of public versus private testimony. The speakers also touched on the concept of censorship and the government's role in regulating social media platforms.

Chris Wray informed Congress that he guarantees the election security of the United States. However, there are concerns about the FBI's involvement with social media giants like Twitter and Facebook. In the past, the FBI's election security task force would advise these companies on what content to restrict, which is not their role. The media should be outraged that a law enforcement agency is dictating their content. It seems that the focus is on preventing pro-Trump information from being shared. This raises questions about the integrity of the upcoming election, as these contracts are still in place.

Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, claimed that the Intelligence Community believes Hunter Biden's laptop and its emails are part of a Russian disinformation campaign. However, the Director of National Intelligence stated that there is no intelligence supporting this claim and no evidence has been shared with Schiff or any other member of Congress. The Director emphasized that using the intelligence community to push a political narrative is unacceptable. He made it clear that Hunter Biden's laptop is not involved in any Russian disinformation campaign, and he believes the American people are aware of this.

The FBI forced social media platforms to remove information from conservative sources, claiming it was disinformation. Speaker 0 asks for a definition of disinformation, but Speaker 1 avoids directly answering.

Speaker 1 denies this and states that the FBI does not moderate content or influence social media companies. Speaker 0 insists that Speaker 1 should read the court opinion. The transcript ends abruptly.

Americans spreading misinformation, whether intentionally or unknowingly, can pose a significant threat to elections. This misinformation can be shared on social media without us realizing it's fake. While foreign interference is a concern, we value and encourage free speech in our country. However, we also need to ensure that if we or the involved firms are aware of foreign-sponsored and covertly sponsored information, we take steps to manage it effectively.

We are focused on attracting top talent to the private sector. Transparency is key in combating harmful content and coronavirus misinformation. Russia's involvement in US elections is unprecedented and concerning. Social media platforms are working to combat fake news and misinformation. Strengthened partnerships with government agencies are crucial in safeguarding democracy during important election cycles worldwide.

Multiple agencies within the intelligence community collaborate with social media platforms to address and remove inauthentic content. These agencies work tirelessly to collect intelligence and provide real-time information to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI and DHS take appropriate action by working with social media companies to remove such content.
