Big Tech platforms coordinated with US government agencies to censor lawful speech — the Twitter Files — documented evidence
🟢 CONFIRMED

The Twitter Files (2022-2023) revealed systematic coordination between government agencies (FBI, DHS, White House) and social media platforms to suppress content. Internal documents showed the FBI flagged specific tweets for removal, DHS planned a 'Disinformation Governance Board,' and platforms created special portals for government censorship requests. The House Judiciary Committee documented over 100 government officials involved.
