At least 200 former employees of the CIA, FBI, NSA, National Security Council and DHS recently landed jobs in Silicon Valley, Just the News, a US-based conservative news outlet, found in a review of the LinkedIn job histories of hundreds of senior Big Tech employees. Agents, intelligence analysts and psychological operations experts also currently oversee content moderation units regulating so-called “disinformation” and dissent, according to the outlet founded by American investigative journalist John Solomon in 2020. To illustrate About them, American investigative journalists cite a Meta* video featuring Aaron Berman, the company’s product policy manager on misinformation. Apparently some Meta users are unaware that the modest, smiling man spent a decade and a half as a CIA analyst before joining the Silicon Valley giant. Likewise, it seems no one cares that Nick Rossmann, a former CIA analyst who allegedly compared anti-vaxxers with Nazis on Twitter and called former President Donald Trump “crazy and racist” is now an executive. senior trust & security officer at Google.

Baker, Twitter’s deputy general counsel, was eventually fired by Elon Musk after the former tried to “verify” “Twitter files” that were made available by Musk to US journalists. The conservative US outlet warns that former ghosts are now using skills they gained fighting foreign rivals and terrorists to target American opinions and free speech in the name of fighting ‘misinformation’. *Meta is designated as an extremist organization in Russia.
