“Twitter was acting as a “subsidiary” of the FBI, in a relationship he described as “master-canine.””
ADAM Schiff popped up on CNN’s “State of The Union” show Sunday morning to issue barely veiled threats to Elon Musk for trying to restore free speech on Twitter.
Ostensibly, the lame duck chairman of the House Intelligence Committee joined Jake Tapper to crow about expected charges against Donald Trump Monday from his January 6 star chamber.
But Schiff moved on to complain about the “big problem right now with social media companies and their failure to moderate content and the explosion of hate on Twitter, the banning of journalists on Twitter.”
Then he suggested ominously that Twitter and social media companies may not continue to enjoy “immunity from responsibility and liability.”
In other words, keep policing free speech as an arm of the federal government or watch your business go up in smoke.
Schiff is a calculated propagandist, who lies under oath as easily as breathing, and knowingly peddles misinformation to Congress and to media outlets like CNN and MSNBC, whose gullible hosts keep bringing him back on their shows to mislead their audiences.
In the dying days of his powerful reign as overseer of the nation’s intelligence agencies, abusing his access to the nation’s secrets, Schiff’s final assignment is to preserve the censorship regime his side of politics entrenched across Big Tech.

It was what law professor Jonathan Turley characterized as a “hold-the-line warning . . . meant to stop a cascading failure in the once insurmountable wall of social-media censorship.”
“If Facebook were to restore free-speech protections, the control over social media could evaporate.” ... SOURCE
