Twitter aided Pentagon influence operations: report

A new installment of the “Twitter Files,” by reporter Lee Fang alleges the social media company aided the military and Department of Defense in shaping public opinion about U.S. activities in other countries.

The Twitter Files are a number of internal documents that were shared with and later published by independent journalists including Matt Taibbi, Bari Weiss and Michael Shellenberger. In the first batch, Taibbi focused on Twitter’s decision to limit the spread of a story by the New York Post about Hunter Biden’s laptop.

Each of the document dumps was promoted by Elon Musk, who bought Twitter for $44 billion earlier this year. Weiss has said the only stipulation for getting access to the documents was that they be put on Twitter. Fang’s post Tuesday was the eighth part of the Twitter Files.

These documents from the files have not been independently confirmed by NewsNation.
