The FBI successfully meddled in the 2020 election via an influence operation that pushed Big Tech platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube to suppress certain information online, putting to bed defenses that tech giants can suppress whatever speech they want because they're private companies, not government actors.

The FBI’s warnings were rooted in the fear that a 2016 DNC-style hack could happen again
