Gosh, this sounds disconcerting.
What exactly does the FBI consider a potential threat? And to whom? Clearly, the FBI was only concerned with protecting Joe Biden before the election ... hey, Mark Zuckerberg said so.
The Hill (@thehill) ~ FBI says it "routinely notifies" social media companies of potential threats following Zuckerberg-Rogan podcast

From The Hill:
The FBI said that it “routinely notifies” private sector entities, including social media companies, of information related to potential threats after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Facebook limited the distribution of a controversial story leading up to the 2020 presidential election because of an FBI warning.
The statement followed Zuckerberg’s appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast on Thursday in which Zuckerberg said Facebook limited stories on the news feed related to the New York Post’s article about President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and his laptop after the FBI warned the company to be aware of potentially polarizing content.
Russia used social media platforms like Facebook to post intentionally polarizing content ahead of the 2016 election.
Notice they don’t bring up the crap they pulled in 2020, you know, when they claimed the Hunter Biden story was Russian disinformation and it obviously and clearly was NOT.

What he said.
Luke Everhart (@LukeEverhart1) ~ "Threats"? 🙄 Threats of political repercussions from politically inconvenient facts. FBI brazenly admits being political campaign operatives is the accurate lede.
