Or for foreign interference (according to the actual link), which was everywhere in 2016, thanks to social media.

The First Amendment only applies to American citizens. Not foreign nationals. And I'm pretty sure it doesn't cover sock puppets.

A lot of countries have a certain amount of free speech. And that should be applauded. But when it comes to our elections, we don't need outside influence and lies spread with the help of American companies.

I left the education system before social media was a thing. But I am protectionist in this matter. Always have been. It's a national security thing. I don't think anyone else in the world should be influencing our elections through social media bots.

I don't vote for President based on who I think would be better for another country. Maybe it's selfish of me, but I tend to vote based on who would be better, in my opinion, for my own country. And for myself really. Just like I don't base my opinion of my Governor on whether his policies have been good for other states.

And this may seem hypocritical, but I'm ok with the Feds influencing foreign elections and politics. It saves us from having to invade them cuz they have asshole leaders.

The Mueller Report says "The Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and
systematic fashion."

So where's the hoax?

Um... The office of Adam Schiff. No evidence he sent the email. The article says nothing about his email being used. It would specifically say him if it actually was.

Sperry was eventually suspended from Twitter, though the article doesn't give a reason as to why.

I didn't say anything about Trump when I mentioned the Mueller report's findings. Only a quote about Russian interference in our election. No idea why you would link former President Trump to that.

‘We don’t do this’: Even Twitter’s censors rejected Adam Schiff’s censorship request

“We don’t do this.” That response from Twitter to Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) is a singular indictment, coming at the height of Twitter’s censorship operations. Apparently, there were some things that even Twitter’s censors refused to do.

One of those things was silencing critics of Schiff and his House committee.

In the latest tranche of “Twitter Files,” journalist Matt Taibbi revealed that Twitter balked at Schiff’s demand that Twitter suspend an array of posters or label their content as “misinformation” and “reduce the visibility” of them. Among those who Schiff secretly tried to censor was New York Post columnist Paul Sperry.

Sperry drew Schiff’s ire by writing about a conversation allegedly overheard by one of his sources. Sperry’s article, which appeared in RealClearInvestigations, cited two sources as overhearing two White House staffers discussing how to remove newly-elected President Trump from office. The article raised the possibility of bias on the part of an alleged key player in launching the first Trump impeachment, CIA analyst Eric Ciaramella. The sources reportedly said that Ciaramella was in a conversation with Sean Misko, a holdover from the Obama administration who later joined Schiff’s staff. The conversation — in Sperry’s words — showed that “just days after [Trump] was sworn in they were already trying to get rid of him.”

Rather than simply refute the allegation, Schiff wanted Sperry and other critics silenced. His office reportedly laid out steps to cleanse Twitter of their criticism, including an instruction to “remove any and all content about Mr. Misko and other Committee staff from its service — to include quotes, retweets, and reactions to that content.”

The date of Schiff’s non-public letter in November 2020 is notable: Earlier that year, I wrote a column for The Hill criticizing Schiff for pushing for censorship of misinformation in a letter that he sent to social media companies. His office promptly objected to the very suggestion that Schiff supported censorship.

We now know Schiff was actively seeking to censor specific critics on social media. These likely were viewed as more than “requests” since Schiff was sending public letters threatening possible legislative action against these same companies. He wanted his critics silenced on social media. After all, criticizing his investigations or staff must, by definition, be misinformation — right?

His office seems to have indicated they knew Twitter was using shadowing-banning or other techniques to suppress certain disfavored writers. In the letter, his staff asked Twitter to “label and reduce the visibility of any content.”

Twitter, however, drew the line with Schiff; one of its employees simply wrote, “no, this isn’t feasible/we don’t do this.”
