In the latest installment of the blockbuster “Twitter Files” release, journalist Matt Taibbi details ways the US State Department sought to label a wide range of critics of United States government policies as promoting “Russian disinformation” and to compel Twitter to ban or otherwise censor these accounts. And guess what – despite some initial hesitation, Twitter essentially went along with it.
Guest host Aaron Maté and Taibbi discuss the internal Twitter discussions that led the social media platform to accede to the demands of a State Department group calling itself the “Global Engagement Center.”

I believe our us govt is biggest domestic & international terrorists in all of human society. We american citizens will fix our domestic govt corruption, for the rest of the world, when you come after these international terrorist & criminals remember it was the US govt filthy rich "public servants" that did this to you, not our usa citizens. They f**ked us over too.
I wouldn't be too quick to assume the FBI etc work for anyone else.
I am so glad this exposed.
To quote everyone except the left, "Uh duhhhh."
Basically…basically….basically…basically…‼️🥶👺‼️🤡💣🥳‼️
I thought the corrupt politicians will swear under oath to uphold the Constitution?
This is such a blatant violation of the First Amendment that alll parties who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution and then engaged in censorship should be arrested.
Aaron Matty sucks bring back Jimmy door
Democracy. Narrative. Agenda. DNA…. Sweet Jesus!
YouTube banned all the Russian channels in Brazil, but In fact US is the country that has spread disinformation, specially about President Putin.
Brazil 🇧🇷
Goes to show you dont need everyone to believe your b.s. You only need just enough people in the right places.
Anybody want to bet that this Yoel Roth character is an Israeli agent ???
Talk about influencing US elections…
seems like a lot of lint in the belly button
told you,your country ran by TERRORISTS,TYRANTS,DICTATORS,BULLIES,LIARS …
Is there media silence on this? I don’t look at MSM
It is better to invest now. You will never be younger than you are today and there will never be a perfect time to invest. Due to compounding, which Einstein called the 8th wonder of the world, you can get rich slowly from investing if you do it from a young enough age.
The C1 A & eff Bee eye make Stasi look like saints in comparison.
USA does not like TIK TOK… because they can not CONTROL IT. But they controlled TWITTER..!
What happened to jimmy's friend (?) kyle
Kullinsky. I think he had too many boosters. Apparently his brain got f**ked up.
cute dude as usual
So basically, the US government labels anyone close to the truth as a Russian state agent. Shocking! How alike the USSR America's become, with similar outcomes I fear as well.
if i wanted the government to control things i would move to russia
if the us govt is denying the covid virus is a cia bioweapon and is censoring posts about it being so, that means it is 100% a cia bioweapon.
i would love for matt to tell us what twitter got in return
Imposters!
Is Aaron getting a contact high from all the second hand smoke in Jimmy's garage?
I am watching a branch of propaganda with the news being shoved down americas throat by america. It’s so blatant and tacky yet the reason things are awful.
After what’s happening in Ukraine war and what’s happening in America and other countries, no one will ever trust mainstream media ever again… there all robots 🤖 control by the government same with the companies that are being run by them.
So WHO runs it now , and what about Next week
Great show!
Truly awe-inspiring how spineless these tech companies are.
excellent interview! great work gang!!!
Tyrannical Leftist Fourth Reich needs to be stopped before they manage to go all out Nazi Germany.
Matt is ok – But he literally has framed rolling stone magazines framed in his office- I don't see why he glamorizes that he worked there- He should be amazingly ashamed. Kind of hard to trust the dude when he has images on his wall that are the complete opposite of what he claims to stand for.
The evidence of unconditional government censorship is overwhelming … unfortunately they are the same ones in charge of law and order.
Twitter used Censorship like this scumbag Russiagate liar Zachary Shahan at CleanTechnica does. Billionaires, the Democratic party, and the government uses social media sites like Twitter and CleanTechnica to control the narrative, advance their lies, and censor and ban anyone who challenges their lies.
