Good god - the FBI recently got outed (Twitter files - Elon Musk - hello?) paying more than $30M to Twitter to do their bidding. Are you really this ignorant of current events?

It's pretty clear we all these days live in different bubbles, of what is "widely known current events".
Googling, it looks like it was $3 million, not $30 million, for data requested, not for suppressing speech or other control? It was still the FBI, not the CIA? This one?

Yes, I legitimately didn't know what the GP I was replying to was suggesting that the CIA controlled. Now that they replied, I understand what they are suggesting, and think they are... living in a different bubble than me.
