New House Judiciary report claims FBI worked with Ukrainian agency to remove verified social media accounts

                         CNN         —      

      The FBI participated in a flawed effort to stop Russian disinformation at the behest of a Ukrainian intelligence agency that instead ensnared authentic American accounts – even a verified Russian-language US State Department account, the House Judiciary Committee alleges in a new report obtained first by CNN.      

      The report accuses the FBI of not properly vetting social media accounts that one of Ukraine’s main intelligence agencies, the SBU, flagged as spreading Russian disinformation. Some of the accounts that the FBI passed on to Meta for review, according to the report, were actually criticizing Russia and its war on Ukraine

Russian spies in Ukraine suspected of duping FBI to censor Americans on social media

The FBI declined to comment for this article.          

The double-whammy for the FBI — engaging in social media censorship and getting duped into doing it for a foreign adversary — only adds to the woes at America’s premier law enforcement agency. The FBI has been battered by whistleblowers and other critics who say the bureau suffers from mismanagement and biased leadership and has conducted a string of politically motivated investigations targeting conservatives.

The FBI also played a role in the Biden administration’s pressuring of social media companies to censor Americans’ speech. The censorship, as alleged in a lawsuit against the government, prompted a federal judge last week to slap a temporary injunction banning Biden officials from contacting social media companies about online content.
