Elise Stephanic's statements at the House Select Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.

She describes evidence. Good listen - well worth the 5 or so min.

Describes that there were so many former intelligence officers working at Twitter, they developed their own onboarding.

I watched some of that earlier. Given the conduct of some of the Representatives I can tell now that it is all true. Our government is controlling our speech.

Seeing as how these have proven to be a room full of rakes for the Republican young guns, I'm looking forward to which one of them makes the biggest fool of themselves.

These have been a perfect example of what happens when elected officials are so deep into their own derp that they actually believe what they're saying and when confronted with facts and reality are reduced to blank stares and stammers.

The OP seems to imply this is just getting going, but I thought this has been going on for a while now. I mean, wasn't there previous testimony that Donald's administration tried to use their government power to coerce Twitter into censoring and canceling information unflattering to the guy?
Or was that a different hearing?

Pelosi’s Congress got memory-holed. It wasn’t in any of the papers.

Yes, about a month ago, at the hearing The House Oversight and Accountibility committee held about Twitter. We found out that Trump tried to have Twitter censor Chrissy Teigen's unflattering tweet. I could link to the article about it in the New York Times, but what she wrote violates the profanity rules here. Other things learned at that hearing were:

1. Twitter altered internal rule to avoid censoring Trump's tweets that violated those rules.

2. A former Twitter executive testified that the FBI had not directed Twitter to block an article by the NYPost. The FBI did not pressure Twitter to block the article.

3.Twitter's former head of safety, Yoel Roth, had to sell his home and move because of threats and harrassment.
