Announcement comes after inspector general calls for transparency, new policies to avoid “jawboning”
a conservative-led push to block contacts between the U.S. government and social media companies, a new report from the Justice Department’s inspector general found that intelligence agencies’ communications with the companies have sometimes been undisciplined., affirmed that U.S. law enforcement agencies need to communicate with tech firms about foreign influence operations, such as Russia’s campaign to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.
The Twitter Files, published beginning in late 2022, were generated by a group of journalists handpicked by Musk who pored through the company’s internal documents for evidence that it had. The work helped fuel allegations on the right of collusion between the Biden administration and the social media industry. Months later, the Republican attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana suedand other top U.S.
Still, it often got results. For instance, social media companies acted on this sort of information to take down a foreign influence operation before the 2018 midterm elections and remove the accounts of Iranian trolls during a 2020 presidential debate, according to the report.
