The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) met weekly with large social media platforms to collaborate on moderating content, according to a deposition this week from FBI Supervisory Special Agent Elvis Chan.
Chan, who was one of the two FBI agents who contacted Facebook ahead of its censoring of the Hunter Biden laptop warning of potential Russian disinformation operations, said that the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF) and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) officials met weekly with social media companies to remove specific accounts ahead of the 2020 presidential election, according to his deposition cited by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt. The deposition was part of a lawsuit filed against the Biden administration for allegedly censoring Americans’ speech in the name of “misinformation” led by Schmitt and Republican Attorney General Jeff Landry of Louisiana.
BREAKING: In our deposition of FBI agent Elvis Chan on Tuesday, we found that the FBI plays a big role in working with social media companies to censor speech – from weekly meetings with social media companies ahead of the 2020 election to asks for account takedowns.

“Since filing our lawsuit, we’ve uncovered troves of discovery that show a massive censorship enterprise,” Schmitt told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Now we’re deposing top government officials, and we’re one of the first to get a look under the hood – the information we’ve uncovered through those depositions has been shocking to say the least.”
They (the FBI) are the modern Gestapo on steroids.
Clearly, swearing an oath to uphold the Constitution is merely a formality to them. They use all of their extensive and powerful means to attack and prosecute the enemies of the people they are friends with or with whom they disagree.
They answer to no one and break laws with impunity, knowing there is NO PUNISHMENT.
WHO ARE THEY to “moderate” anyone’s speech or expressions of ideas????????? An ARMED government entity is monitoring and SUPPRESSING American’s speech????
Jefferson would most certainly include them in the list of power-crazed government officials who need to be bled out in order to preserve the Republic. Yeah. I said it.
I’ll say it again, just for the FBI —- REVOLUTION is the ONLY way to rid ourselves of these of these rats, parasites, and leeches.
Now come to my house to ask me some questions. I’ll know you are there before you exit your vehicles, which is bad news for you.
