According to a report by Michael Shellenberger, the FBI made an "organized effort" to target social media and news companies, including Twitter, that reported on the Hunter Biden laptop story in the lead-up to the 2020 election, and Twitter received repeated requests for information from the FBI that it had previously stated it would not share outside of normal legal channels.
Facebook officials said Wednesday that the social media platform has no plans to reinstate the account of former President Donald Trump, despite announcing his bid earlier this week for a second term in the White House in 2024.
