FBI Investigating 3Commas Data Breach (coindesk.com) 25
The FBI is investigating the 3Commas data breach, CoinDesk is reporting. From the report: The investigation comes after weeks of criticism from users of the Estonia-based crypto trading service, who say its CEO repeatedly brushed off warning signs that the platform had leaked user data. This week, 100,000 Binance and KuCoin API keys linked to 3Commas were leaked by an anonymous person. On Thursday, two 3Commas users told CoinDesk that they were contacted by agents from the FBI's Cincinnati Field Office in connection to the leak.
Over the last several months, dozens of 3Commas users found that the service had, without their consent, traded away funds on crypto exchanges they'd linked to it. Initially, 3Commas said that these users were most likely phished and insisted that the platform was safe. The API database leaker insinuated that the 3Commas keys had been sold by someone from within the company, but 3Commas CEO Yuriy Sorokin said in a statement on Thursday that "3Commas stresses that it has found no evidence during the internal investigation that any employee of 3Commas was somehow involved in attacks against the API data."

The FBI was handed a hard drive, and what happened? The FBI told Twitter to squelch any mention of it..
I've never seen so many supposedly straight men demanding to see dick pictures before. Here's how the story goes without the distortion field in place.
Biden campaign: Hey twitter, can you remove the dick pics of my son? That falls under your rules on revenge porn.
Twitter: Sure thing.
Republicans: Literally 1984! Big brother is silencing us! Socialism bad! Government overreach! Woke woke woke, Litterboxes in classrooms!

Kindly link to right-wing critics demanding that.
Otherwise you're just making shit up to excuse Twitter censoring the New York Post's reporting about Hunter Biden's corruption. Did you really forget that Twitter wouldn't let anyone link to that story, or did you just pretend to forget it?

The FBI has had the laptops for how many years now? Last I checked Hunter wasn’t even part of the government. The only bombshells revealed is that Hunter has a big dick and his dad left a voicemail saying he loved his son and to please get help for his addiction.

They're so sexually repressed, that's why. Same as why they get caught with rent boys, watching black gay porno, and cheating and paying for abortions as "true christian family men." And in the latest case, lying about their ethnic origin, education, work history, campaign funding, etc.

Well the original accusation in the thread was that the FBI told Twitter to kill the story.
I haven't seen any evidence of that.
In fact, I think that's a distorted version of a different thing that happened which was the Biden campaign asked Twitter to remove some Tweets with nude photos of Hunter Biden based on their revenge porn policy [washingtonpost.com].
And yes, fringe alt-right media sources framed that as Twitter inappropriately colluding with the Biden campaign [foxnews.com].
So conservative media sources deserve to be mercilessly rake

I literally just posted an example of a Fox News article withholding critical information to give readers a false impression of events, and you follow up with the NYPost and Fox News as a primary source?
As for the NYPost article, it's the closest I've seen to the original topic. Assuming the slant isn't too bad it sounds like the Twitter council (and probably the FBI) were still quite worried it was disinformation. Though at worst the FBI just played up the possibility at hacking/disinformation, I don't see

You should probably read the earlier parts of the Twitter Files -- part 7 was just about the timing of the laptop story being banned.

When the FBI sent those files to Twitter, the NY Post story had not been published yet! It was what is usually called "battle space preparation" in this kind of psyops campaign.
It's all very funny because the original claim was that Twitter was only blocking dic pics, and now you're trying to defend Twitter banning journalism
Few dispute blocking the story was a bad decision. But it's not the big conspiracy it's made out to be.
The story is weird, weird enough that Fox News passed on it [thedailybeast.com]. Is it such a shock that a story too flaky for Fox was greeted with wide skepticism?
and to ignore Joe Biden lying about his involvement in his son's crooked business dealings. And you're also ignoring critical context about the firing of Shokin: https://thehill.com/opinion/ca... [thehill.com]
Oh come on, why am I not shocked that that "opinion piece" is published by a journalist with a long history of pushing flimsy [wikipedia.org] conservative conspiracies [thedailybeast.com] who seems to have been at least a pawn in Trump's effort to extort the Ukrainians [thedailybeast.com].

Is Twitter the only source of information in the world? FFS, there's Hannity, there's Alex Jones, and there's a bunch of other idiots out there to spread misinformation .. so why do fools hyperventilate about Twitter as though its refusal to promote their junk is what caused nobody to be interested in it? Alex Jones alone has millions of idiots going to his website .. each one of those millions of idiots could have spread the message about the hard drive by calling their friends.
