That step was encouraged in a recent report by the Justice Department inspector general.
Under the procedures, the FBI may be in touch with companies when it identifies activities on a platform being conducted by or on behalf of a foreign government to support an influence operation or there are specific and credible facts showing the activity can be attributed to a foreign government. The procedures state that the FBI must make clear that it is not asking the social media company to take any action and that the company is under no obligation to do so.
