“Twitter Files” Part One:
“Twitter Files” part one, released by independent journalist Matt Taibbi, focused on the social media platform’s decision in 2020 to limit the spread of a story from the New York Post about Hunter Biden’s laptop.

“Twitter Files” Part Two:
The second batch of “Twitter Files” included images of what appeared to be an internal Twitter system that marked accounts on various “blacklists” like various conservatives or conservative groups.

“Twitter Files” Part Three:
The Twitter Files THE REMOVAL OF DONALD TRUMP Part One: October 2020-January 6th, “the erosion of standards within the company in months before J6, decisions by high-ranking executives to violate their own policies, and more, against the backdrop of ongoing, documented interaction with federal agencies.”

“Twitter Files” Part Six:
The FBI’s Constant Contact with Twitter.  Matt Taibbi released part 6 dubbed Twitter, The FBI Subsidiary. Twitter’s contact with the FBI was constant and pervasive, as if it were a subsidiary. Between January 2020 and November 2022, there were over 150 emails between the FBI and former Twitter Trust and Safety chief Yoel Roth. The FBI’s social media-focused task force, known as FTIF, created in the wake of the 2016 election, swelled to 80 agents and corresponded with Twitter to identify alleged foreign influence and election tampering of all kinds.

“Twitter Files” Part Seven:
The FBI & the Hunter Biden Laptop. How the FBI & intelligence community discredited factual information about Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings both after and *before* The New York Post revealed the contents of his laptop on October 14, 2020. The story begins in December 2019 when a Delaware computer store owner named John Paul (J.P.) Mac Isaac contacts the FBI about a laptop that Hunter Biden had left with him.

On Dec 9, 2019, the FBI issues a subpoena for, and takes, Hunter Biden’s laptop. On October 14, 2020, The New York Post runs its explosive story revealing the business dealings of President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter. Every single fact in it was accurate. And yet, within hours, Twitter and other social media companies censor the NY Post article, preventing it from spreading and, more importantly, undermining its credibility in the minds of many Americans.

“Twitter Files” Part Eight:
How Twitter Quietly Aided the Pentagon’s Covert Online PsyOp Campaign. Despite promises to shut down covert state-run propaganda networks, Twitter docs show that the social media giant directly assisted the U.S. military’s influence operations. But behind the scenes, Twitter gave approval & special protection to the U.S. military’s online psychological influence ops. Despite knowledge that Pentagon propaganda accounts used covert identities, Twitter did not suspend many for around 2 years or more. Some remain active.

“Twitter Files” Part Nine:
The Twitter Files: TWITTER AND “OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES”, The files show the FBI acting as doorman to a vast program of social media surveillance and censorship, encompassing agencies across the federal government – from the State Department to the Pentagon to the CIA.
