“The FBI regularly engages with private sector entities to provide information specific to identified foreign malign influence actors’ subversive, undeclared, covert, or criminal activities,” the FBI said in a statement.

This is BS. The FBI shouldn't be REGULARLY ENGAGING with any private company. IF there's a crime alleged then they should deal with THAT only. NOT have regular back-door communications to censor people at the flick of a switch.

“Private sector entities independently make decisions about what, if any, action they take on their platforms and for their customers after the FBI has notified them.”

No, not when you strongly word your "requests" to ban and "look into" private citizens Twitter accounts. These can be seen more as threats because if the company doesn't do what the FBI asks..or finds the citizens not in violation then the FBI may investigate the company under BS charges. Happens all the time. Of course the company will comply because they feel threatened by the FBI. The FBLie should just stay the fck out of people's business. Period.
