Unfuckingbelievable lol

Matt Taibbi has smeared me for years in the course of his Twitter Files bs:

- he literally *cut emails in half* to lie about SIO’s work
- cut quotes in half to make them mean the opposite of what I said
- lied about the dates I worked at companies
- implied I worked on projects I didn’t
- insinuated I was a *secret CIA agent* and asked why the media hadn’t investigated that …

in posts that got millions of views, as I got threats. Now he’s suing to protect free speech.

May be a Twitter screenshot of magazine and text that says 'THEFREEPRESS NEWSLETTERS ACCOUNT SUBSCRIBE Matt Taibbi: To Protect Free Speech, I'm Suing the Man Who Defamed Me There's a difference between censorship, which prevents speech, and seeking restitution for a harmful lie already in print.
