Holy shit. @toholdaquill and I were wondering why Twitter exposes psyops operations from countries around the world, but not the UK or other Five Eyes countries.

It turns out a senior Twitter employee is a part-time officer in the UK army’s psyops unit. middleeasteye.net/news/twitter-e…
@toholdaquill For some context, we've known that UK intelligence agency GCHQ has for many years engaged in online disinfo campaigns/psyops through fake Twitter and social media accounts: vice.com/en_us/article/…
Twitter (and other social media companies) have teams to uncover disinfo campaigns and fake Twitter accounts. So far, they've not uncovered a single operation from the Five Eyes countries (including UK and USA), when we know that they partake in these ops.
Twitter hires people that work for the UK army's psyops unit, and publicly expose disinfo campaigns in countries around the world, but not UK and US disinfo campaigns. Are they doing it to improve Twitter, or are they simply a tool of the UK/US governments? @yoyoel
