FBI Admits Colluding With Big Tech to Ramp up Online Censorship Efforts Ahead of 2024 Election
Remember all the collusion stories we wrote about the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and its efforts to control free speech through social media infiltration? Well, we have learned that the censorship has resumed ahead of the 2024 election.
The FBI just “resumed collusive efforts,” according to The Federalist, with social media companies like Facebook and Twitter to censor posts and silence influencers who are caught spreading “disinformation,” as, of course, defined by the FBI and its controllers.
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, spilled the beans about it at a recent press conference, telling the media that federal agencies like the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) are once again colluding with Big Tech to “remov[e] disinformation on their sites as the November presidential election nears,” this being a direct quote from NexGov and FCW.
The censorship talks between Big Government and Big Tech resumed this past March, according to Warner, right around the time oral arguments were heard by the Supreme Court in the Murthy v. Missouri censorship case.
After Warner dropped the bomb about all this, shocking the media, an FBI representative confirmed that the agency has, in fact, linked back up with the social media sphere to silence anyone and everyone whom the deep state does not like.
“The FBI remains committed to combatting foreign malign influence operations, including in connection with our elections,” the FBI representative reportedly told The Federalist. “That effort includes sharing specific foreign threat information with state and local election officials and private sector companies when appropriate and rigorously consistent with the law.”
“In coordination with the Department of Justice, the FBI recently implemented procedures to facilitate sharing information about foreign malign influence with social media companies in a way that reinforces that private companies are free to decide on their own whether and how to take action on that information.”
(Related: According to censorship expert Mike Benz, the 2020 election was rigged for Joe Biden at least seven months ahead of voting day.)

As for CISA’s involvement in the scheme, CISA External Affairs Specialist Tess Hyre declined to comment, but did reveal that CISA Director Jen Easterly will be participating in an “election security” hearing in “the coming weeks.”
Neither the FBI nor CISA will say when the communications with Big Tech about censorship resumed, nor have either of the two federal agencies identified the specific social media companies they are working with to silence free speech.
What is worse, neither the FBI nor CISA will even define what constitutes “disinformation” in their eyes, nor will they reveal what other federal agencies are doing to make it disappear from the internet.
Concerning the Murthy v. Missouri case, U.S. District Court Judge Terry Doughty issued a preliminary injunction back in July of 2023 barring federal agencies from colluding with Big Tech to censor content online of which they disapprove.
“If the allegations made by Plaintiffs are true, the present case arguably involves the most massive attack against free speech in United States’ history,” Doughty wrote in his ruling.
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld that injunction last September. However, the initial ruling did not pertain to CISA, which is often referred to as the “nerve center” of the federal government’s censorship operations. Later that year, the court corrected the ruling to include CISA.
Then it went to the Supreme Court, which lifted the Fifth Circuit’s injunction in October to once again allow Big Government to collude with Big Tech to censor Americans – so much for Donald Trump’s “freedom”-minded packed SCOTUS.

UK Disinformation Unit Minutes Reveal Consideration of Placing Government Employees Inside Social Media Companies
Recently released minutes from the UK government’s Counter Disinformation Unit (CDU) governing board, the Disinformation Board, provide further evidence of the authorities’ direct involvement in monitoring online speech during the pandemic but also flagging it for removal.
But even this wasn’t enough for CDU, which in 2023, after several years of criticism and scrutiny by some media and privacy groups, got rebranded as the National Security Online Information Team (NSOIT).
One of the moves considered by top UK officials was to “embed” civil servants in companies running social platforms, and it remains unclear if this was in fact done, writes Big Brother Watch’s Jake Hurfurt for Public.
CDU was only one building block in the UK’s Covid-era censorship effort; several military units were enlisted to participate as well, most notably and controversially the 77th Brigade, whose job is supposed to be spreading misinformation, and in general, finding its “psyops” targets abroad, not at home.
NSOIT (CDU) also states that it is “countering disinformation and hostile state narratives.” But these and several other outfits, as well as private contractors hired by the government, were tasked with surveillance of British citizens and suppression of those seen as “Covid measures dissenters.”
And so, what scores of freedom of information requests have since revealed is that they went not after disinformation-spreading “foreign adversary” – but ordinary British citizens, medical professionals, journalists, and even politicians who were engaging in legitimate, albeit critical of the government, speech.
Regarding the lengths to which the UK was prepared to go – specifically if officials actually got “embedded” in social media companies – this is unclear to this day thanks to the government’s refusal to provide access to reports compiled by Logically, a private company.
Logically made millions from contracts with the British military, Hurfurt notes. Completing the picture of the web of sometimes loosely, other times tightly inter-connected entities that work hard to censor online speech, he adds:
“(Logically) has a large US presence and is headed by US ex-intelligence officer Brian Murphy, who worked at the Department for Homeland Security (DHS).”
Meanwhile, the UK government explains its refusal to shed light on the question of whether or not its officials were directly involved with social media companies as fears those reports “would reveal its capabilities to hostile actors.”

European Car Makers Hitting the Brakes on Electric Vehicles
Car manufacturers are slowing their transition to producing electric vehicles (EVs), because of low customer demand and production problems.
Mercedes-Benz announced to investors in March of this year that it is going back on its pledge to sell only fully electric cars by 2030. Instead, investors were told that the company plans to continue to make gasoline-powered cars well into the next decade. Fully electric cars and hybrids will account for only up to half of its sales by 2030.
It appears that carmakers are suffering after committing wholeheartedly to the ideological fad of EVs, rather than introducing them as a rival product in their combustion engine-dominated competitive market.
While electric cars sales exploded in northern Europe several years ago, due largely to generous government subsidies backed by EU funds, sales of plug-in electric vehicles have been weaker than expected in other markets. Some more publically than others, carmakers are beginning to admit to this trend.
“Unexpected developments may arise in particular from geopolitical events and trade policy,” Mercedes-Benz said in the statement. “Further supply chain disruptions and in particular, availability bottlenecks for critical components, remain a significant risk factor.”
The company explained that it would remain “strategically focused” and “tactically flexible,” regarding electric vehicle production, by monitoring demand, the growth of charging infrastructure, and changes in the supply chain. Following the announcement, the carmaker’s stock price rose 5.9% (also supported by a $3.3 billion share buyback program, according to the trade website insideevs.com).
El Debate reports that the Volkswagen group confirmed in a recent press conference that it had already started manufacturing cars using a multi-energy integrated approach by producing the same car in a range of versions: gas-powered engined, plug-in electric, and hybrids. The news site points out that this approach has proven very successful as the long-standing strategy of French carmaker Stellantis.
Other automakers—including Ford and Renault—have been less public about their partial abandonment of the EV project. Ford recently revealed that they’re planning for a new model combustion engine (albeit hybrid) in 2027, and Renault has launched a division named ‘Horse’ where it will produce combustion engines for markets outside Europe—possibly without having the main company name associated with it.
The EU’s ban on selling new cars with combustion engines after 2035 notwithstanding, consumers still prefer gas or diesel powered cars over fully electric cars. This isn’t expected to change in the near future.

French Government Blocks TikTok to Curb Civil Unrest in New Caledonia
France has imposed a state of emergency in New Caledonia in response to protests and riots, leading to a ban on TikTok as authorities seek to stabilize the region. The French government has taken these measures to address the unrest that erupted after a contentious vote extending voting rights in the territory’s provincial elections and is the latest example of a government restricting internet access as a means to control citizens.
The local government representative in New Caledonia, under the directive of the newly declared state of emergency, took the significant step of banning TikTok, citing public safety concerns. This action was part of broader measures that included increased powers for security forces such as house detentions, weapon seizures, and restrictions on movement to prevent further disorder.
Prime Minister Gabriel Attal emphasized the necessity of these measures, stating, “No violence will be tolerated,” and highlighted the deployment of troops to secure critical infrastructure like ports and the international airport, which is already closed to international flights. The announcement followed shortly after the death of a French gendarme injured in the riots, bringing the death toll to four, as confirmed by Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin.
According to France 24, the violence began following approval of a bill by the French National Assembly, which aimed to expand the electorate in New Caledonia’s provincial elections by including residents from mainland France, a move critics argue could undermine Indigenous influence in favor of pro-France politicians. The reform passed amidst intense debates with a vote of 351 to 153.
These measures come as President Emmanuel Macron seeks to reinforce France’s strategic interests in the Pacific amidst competition from global powers like China and the United States. The recent riots reflect deep-seated tensions within New Caledonia, particularly among the Indigenous Kanak population, who have historically been wary of French attempts to assert control.
In recent years, governments around the world have increasingly turned to internet shutdowns as a tool to manage civil unrest and curtail riots, raising significant concerns about the infringement on civil liberties. This tactic involves restricting access to the internet or certain social media platforms to disrupt communications and organization among protesters.
For instance, during the 2019-2020 protests in India against the Citizenship Amendment Act, the government imposed multiple internet shutdowns. These were particularly pronounced in regions like Kashmir, where the longest internet blackout in a democracy severely limited the ability of citizens to communicate and access information. Human rights organizations criticized these actions for violating the freedom of expression and the right to information, highlighting how such shutdowns can isolate entire communities and prevent the dissemination of vital public information.
Iran has repeatedly demonstrated the use of internet shutdowns as a strategy to suppress dissent and manage civil unrest. In 2022, amid protests following the death of Mahsa Amini while in the custody of the morality police, the Iranian government again resorted to internet restrictions. These included throttling data speeds and blocking access to popular social media platforms like Instagram and WhatsApp, which are commonly used by Iranians to mobilize and report on real-time events. The government’s official stance was that such measures were necessary to maintain national security and public order.
