Name Redacted @NameRedacted247 Feb 25 1. 🧵Google & Meta function as extensions of the US Intelligence Community. With Jacqueline Lopour, Google's Head of Trust & Safety, and Aaron Berman, Meta's Head of Elections Content/Misinformation Policy, both being career CIA officers, it underscores the CIA's substantial control over online censorship. Why is this CIA-Big Tech revolving door, where career CIA officers wield power to censor & decide what misinformation is, purposefully suppressed in the broader conversation about censorship? Why are career CIA officers like Jacqueline Lopour & Nick Rossmann, who both have a history of spreading misinformation & promoting the RussiaGate conspiracy theory, now in senior roles in Trust & Safety at Google, deciding what is misinformation & overseeing content moderation? The cumulative number of former Intelligence Community personnel hired by Meta & Google since 2018 is staggering. Before 2018, there were only a handful. Here are the combined hires by both companies: CIA-36 FBI-68 NSA-44 DHS/CISA-68 State Dept-86 DOD-121 Elon Musk @elonmusk Feb 22 I just typed in a Google query on my phone and the top two choices are pro censorship! 405 5,093 755 9,843 0 Michael Shellenberger @shellenberger Feb 25 “If they get into our space first, we own them for life.” — William Evanina, CIA
