More broadly, Heritage argued that the FBI needs “a hard reset” on the appropriate scope of its legitimate activities, like communication with social media companies on what posts to censor.
“The Department needs a hard firewall between its legitimate activities (monitoring online activity for potential threats in its mission space, looking at social media profiles for evidence of intent or other criminal activity, etc.) and those in which it must not engage (asking or demanding public forums or publishers to remove material based on the content and/or viewpoints expressed or itself censoring speech),” the document said.
