Press freedom groups silent on FBI helping Ukraine censor, threaten journalists worldwide

The FBI (Friends of Biden Incorporated) again?

There is probably little doubt that Russia uses Western media or even journalists to spread propaganda and demagoguery! This goes back to the Soviet Union and the KGB (Putin the Terrible was once an officer of the KGB).

I can name one German news outlet that clearly spreads Russian talking points!

From this perspective, it is understandable that the Ukraine and its Western allies are very busy to prevent or thwart such efforts. Then the question is how far do these efforts go?

The following news article is not very convincing! It is primarily only one journalist making claims. Then we are told that press freedom in the Ukraine is restricted as if it is not normal for any country going through a war.

"... The FBI went to bat on behalf of the Security Service of Ukraine, known as the SBU, in asking Twitter to not only remove 175 accounts but reveal private information about their creators, according to March 2022 communications revealed by the Twitter Files this month. ..."

Press freedom groups silent on FBI helping Ukraine censor, threaten journalists worldwide | Just The News One group modestly objects: "Trying to curb a reporter's ability to report by covert means or behind closed doors will always raise suspicions about motive and justification."
