The FBI responded on Friday to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's claims that the agency warned Facebook about the Hunter Biden laptop story in October 2020.
During an appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, Zuckerberg told the comedian the feds told the social media giant to be vigilant in the face of Russian disinformation campaigns prior to the 2020 presidential election.
Zuckerberg said the FBI did not name the Hunter Biden story specifically but it 'fit the pattern' of what the agency had discussed.
In a statement, the FBI said the agency 'routinely notifies' social media companies about potential security threats.

It should not be legal for the FBI to censor and control what news information can be posted on social media with the exception of threats of violence, intent to comit illegal acts, murder and soliciting for riots where they should get involved and take action, but usually do not. It is obvious in everything they do they are taking sides to protect and shield democrats so they may be elected. Hunter's laptop was abandoned as was the daughter's diary and are news, they were not stolen or taken by force.

#7 - I liked your post up until abolished. You should have stopped there. We do not need a federal police force. The various state police agencies could share a secured data base to collaborate on interstate gang and organized crime that the FBI was originally supposed to handle. The reason for the FBI to exist has been overtaken by technology; their treason and betrayal has obliterated any nostalgia even for a legacy existence. The J. Edgar Hoover building should be demolished, every piece ground to dust and the earth salted. After the exorcism, it should be paved over with concrete so evil spirits cannot ever rise again from that place.

I don’t believe for a nano-second that the FIB “warned” Zuck. I believe that they explicitly told him to censor everything about Hunter and his laptop. I believe they said the same thing to Dorsey at Twitter and to all of the enemedia.
Prove me wrong.

So... The FBI routinely passes out propaganda through their official releases, mixing real threats with slander to best accentuate a narrative that their Administrators wish to portray: Such as patriots being threats. Such as candidate colluding with hostile foreign governments. And mixed in with this are the infiltration and subversion of civilian groups to entrap them into crimes. Also, illegal surveillance without warrants, and withholding the news of actual threats for political purposes.
And don't forget threatening ANYONE that might politically inconvenience their Deep State bosses. You know; parents, other law enforcement, peaceful protestors (as opposed to rioters) churches (that they also subvert) and highly visible groups with little political interest whose libel can forward the Swamp's narrative...
The FBI are SUCH good guys...

He said, she said, they all lie. It's called Social Media not Government Media. That's why Google and Facebook management had to use the back door into the White House during the Reign of Hussein. To be fair, the government had its hooks into worldwide phone systems for decades before the Internet so it's not only democrats who use the intel services for nefarious purposes and to spy on US citizens.

Just think of the terabytes of criminal acts the FBI has on their office desks. The laptops from Bernard Whisenaut, Seth Rich, Anthony Weiner, Jeffrey Epstein, Hunter Biden (also 4chan hacked iCloud with Pedo Pete details), Ghislaine Maxwell and who knows what top secret emails they recovered from Hillary's bathroom email server. And how many arrests? Zero.

They’re best a framing people to achieve a desired political outcome. My examples are; whitey Bolger, the Waco debacle, the Whitmer farce, the Russia Collusion, the Mar ALago mess, and etcetera into infinity. They have to go. And they did it to themselves.

Ain't it funny how the FBI only warns social media about not posting stuff they believe might help a Republican ... but issue no such warnings about lies from BLM, Antifa, Occupy Wall Street, the 1619 Project, Bernie Sanders, Liz Warren, the Clintons, etc?

The FBI routinely notifies social media. Therein lies the problem. The FBI isn't a news organization and lying to social media isn't notifying. It's pushing a false narrative.

The only reason for the FBI to go skulking. around Big Tech and Big Media with secret warnings is to suppress inconvenient information like the Hunter Biden laptop story. If there is actual verifiable misinformation the public needs to be warned about it should do just that --warn the public

FTA: 'The FBI has provided companies with foreign threat indicators to help them protect their platforms and customers from abuse by foreign malign influence actors.'
Americans were already primed by multiple intelligence agencies and coordinated media "bombshells" to believe the false Trump/Russia narrative. While that narrative was deservedly falling apart, a simple warning to social media companies to be on the lookout for non-specific "Russian Disinformation" still worked like a charm. Democrats prevailed. For our own good, of course.

Sean Hannity and the rest of the rats at FoxNews who defend the “rank and file” are every bit as evil as the agents themselves. The executives are NOTHING without the worker bees. Folks, get this in your head: The first people to go down when the current cold war goes hot will be LEO. There are plenty of men out there who can tap anything within 500 meters and in an urban environment, just 50 of these guys can change everything. I’ll go outside and wait for my visit from the FBI in 3, 2, 1 …

Liars lie.
Hannity give up the ghost and say the FBI is now worthless and the agency should be burned down and the agents either fired or if there's any good ones left, sent to other agencies. VDH and Bongino are in agreement.

"routinely notifies' social media companies about potential security threats"
And just how is the Hunter Biden story a security threat? It wasn't. It was only a threat to the democrats and the biased FBI. The FBI needs to be disbanded, it is the true security threat to the country.

When was the last time the FBI notified Twitter users of any threats to Republicans, conservatives, or white people? The only thing the FBI “routinely” notifies is Twitter when conservatives need censoring in their eyes. BS detector on full tilt at this story.

A person that is providing their well-founded opinions is not a threat. That's only threatening to someone with a personal stake in opposing opinions. Is that you FBI, you F'n Bunch of Idiots.

I remember when the Patriot Act was debated in Congress. I remember Librarians, YA LIBRARIANS!!, strongly opposed to the Patriot Act on the grounds it would invade the privacy of citizens, allow spying on citizens, stifle freedom of speech.
Suppression of speech, information by the Facebook is the domestic threat we are facing.
Who are the terrorists? Consonant consonant vowel.
