Internal Twitter documents released by Elon Musk in December 2022 revealed that FBI agents sent Excel spreadsheets listing hundreds of accounts to censor. The government flagged thousands of 'mostly domestic' posts for removal. The Biden campaign had a direct channel to request content takedowns. FBI, DHS, and State Department officials held regular meetings with social media executives to coordinate content moderation. The Virality Project recommended suppressing even 'true stories of vaccine side effects.'
