I'm terribly shocked. I think it won't be long before I have the vapors.

Nothing to see here, move along. Key positions in social media companies filled with ex-spies and police is no different than a high-school chemistry teacher going to work for a glue manufacturer.

So there's going to be some evidence presented at some point that someone was doing something illegal or unethical?

Now imagine if those people worked for some Chinese government agency instead.

Funny how the Daily Mail considers this sort of thing to be worth reporting, but the likes of WaPo and NYT are curiously mum on the subject.

The numbers I saw for Twitter were something like .5%.

The other question is what the ex-agents did at the agency. Were they on projects to make Fidel's beard fall out, or were they coders or analysts?

I didn't know that having worked for respected Federal agencies basically banned you from the job market until you were dead.

This is an example of how nowadays non-news are "reported" as a shocking, multi-pronged conspiracy.

The Twitter Files is literally about a private company doing content moderation.
