In the latest installment of the blockbuster Twitter Files, journalist Aaron Maté discovered that the FBI, acting on behalf of the Ukrainian intelligence services, requested that Twitter censor accounts deemed to be insufficiently supportive of the Ukrainian war effort. And among the names identified by Ukraine: Aaron Maté.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to Maté about what he learned and the level of government-influenced censorship going on at Twitter alone, to say nothing of other social media platforms.

Last time i popped Vigilance® i couldn't pee for 3 days.
Defund DC.. its beyond redemption..
The FBI must be dissolved
So, hypotethically if a journalist that is on the ukrainian kill list dies, did the fbi help ukraine to assasinate the journalist?
around 2021 Twitter used a list from ASPI to ban people who opposed the Xinjiang Uyghur genocide hoax. ASPI is funded by US/Australian government and weapon manufacturers. Some of the people banned were Uyghurs.
Gotta be Trump's fault
What these govt officials and politicians are finding out is that with good journalism, their lies and corruption will be exposed and we will see behind the curtain as Dorothy did in the Wizard of Oz… We have a clandestine govt that controls its people through fear and judicial corruption and so many of us are brainwashed even with evidence as clear as this… They've dumbed America down so much thay we have to prove ourselves in professions when we travel to other countries to work…. We used to be the most informed, now we are the most disinformed all because of a plan to keep us placid, broke, and surviving rather than living as our forefathers did on the farms and prairies of the past…wake up America, its time to be great again…
12:45 That's a good example for why it's totalitarian rather than just authoritarian, which china's system would be classified as. In an authoritarian system there's still some procedure and rule of law in place. In totalitarianism they just do whatever they want, without restraints.
Why is a foreign country allowed to charge an Australian with espionage when he’s not a USA citizen.? Same difference
"Ask your doctor if Eternal Vigilance is right for you." Put that on a shirt!
Appalling censorship behaviour
Imagine that… all the usual suspects.
Well… wouldn't make it too hard to round them all up and deal with them – if there was the will.
They have sent out request on where information is coming from and could be classified. They can't classifie people's public opinion when they are actually in Ukraine.
great work.
Not surprising at all. So tired of seeing this crap. As if we don't send them billions…
As I take my 10th booster, I’m appalled that Jimmy is censoring the news CNN tells us.
So the FBI is doxxing US citizens to a foreign government we have no alliance with that operates a legit kill list? That sounds so illegal
At least in China you know where you stand without any pretense of so-called western "free speech".
More and more like fascist instead of "democracy".
I know a good place to get my journalism, twitter – said nobody with a brain ever
by the way, "Myrotvoretz" – is peacemaker. its so cynical and hypocritical
These government agencies are so corrupt. There's no fixing this. They'll just get continue to get bolder and bolder and grab more and more power as possible.
3 Letter Agency. CIA/NSA/FBI/IRS/DOD/DOJ etc. ALL THE SAME entity.
look at the little likes, ukraine takes your personal info no one cares but i bet if its china this video will get hundreds and thousands of likes
These agencies are so fucking out of control
No amount of orwellian manipulation by the federal thugs can replace the manufacturing and industry lost in the past 40 years. They can govern a steaming pile of s**t.
The FBI and Zelensky are a good oartnershio as both are itterly corrupt to the core! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Go Aaron!!!
They had to have known Musk was just going to laugh at that! Or perhaps it was from before his takeover? May they all keep speaking up, loudly!
