dispute between Elon Musk and Europe about whether or not he was following these rules closely enough. This just came into effect last year, but it's an extremely effective way to regulate speech because it doesn't require the government to actually do it. It's the private platform that actually commits the censorship. And this third-party methodology, which is

specifically by the way what uh what donald trump referenced in his free speech executive order we we don't want that to happen we're gonna not allow that uh they already have the full-blown death star version in europe of that right and so the investigation here in the united states is going to basically uncover how far along were we into developing the same kind of thing

The Twitter file suggested that we were already doing it informally and illegally, probably, but we want to find out exactly. With Snopes and all the other fact-checkers? Yes, all the fact-checking organizations, right? You know, sometimes that was done informally, by inference. Or it was done through NGOs that made recommendations.

But I think the really dangerous stuff is when you had State Department agencies like the Global Engagement Center or the FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force making direct recommendations to these platforms, or the White House in your case. Yeah, we're going to find out all of these communications, not just little pieces of them.

Yeah, I mean, Wikipedia has a very advanced system for regulating what gets into Wikipedia pages. If it's not a certain kind of source, it doesn't get on there. There was a bizarre incident last year where the real clear politics... You know, polling average, which is a tool that reporters have been using for almost two decades.

They kind of left it off their their page of polling average sites because they didn't like the page, I guess. I don't know. But yeah, I think we have to get some clarity about what happened there. Obviously, the former head of Wikipedia is now in a senior position in NPR. The deputy or the COO... One government media job to another. Yeah, exactly.

And the COO of NPR is the former head of this thing called the Aspen Commission on Information Disorder, which is one of the groups that we investigated in the Twitter files. It was sort of heavily into this whole... Content moderation questions. So the merging of state media with platforms and regulation of sourcing and all that stuff, that's probably going to come out too.
