From the beginning of Hamilton 68, technology used to monitor and censor Americans, the State Department’s practices changed. Originally a tool used to save time processing information, it began to emphasize “public-private partnerships” to investigate Russian influence after Trump became president. It was recently discovered through the “Twitter Files” that what Hamilton 68 flagged as “bots” on Twitter advancing “Russian disinformation” were really American citizens’ accounts. These accounts and the user’s opinions were monitored and censored.
From The Federalist:
“The whole media pretended that this Russaigate thing was real. It didn’t just affect citizens. It affected everyone who worked in Washington, D.C., which includes everybody that worked with the [State] Department, the CIA, and more,” [Amanda Milius, former member of the Trump administration and the former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Content at the State Department] continued. “These people were going home at night being told Trump and his people were Russian agents and then would come into work with the idea that they were going to save America from us.”
