Twitter was censoring American citizens at the same time that Chinese intelligence agents were employed at the company and officials of the Chinese regime were given uncensored use of the social media platform, John Mills, former director of cybersecurity policy, strategy, and international affairs at the Department of  Defense, told The Epoch Times’ sister media NTD Television in an interview on Dec. 10.

“This is a de-facto social credit system whether the FBI was calling it or not. They were handing lists of names into Twitter and seeking the censorship of American citizens, which is unbelievable. Unacceptable,” Mills said on the “China in Focus“ program aired on Wednesday.
