This Thursday, the Libertarian Party received a letter from the FBI, alleging "foreign threat actors" had recently accessed our Facebook account.

The FBI has a long history as one of the most nefarious enforcement and intimidation arms of the state. Their history is littered with examples of surveillance and harassment of political dissidents and groups critical of the government.

The bill to ban TikTok is riddled with poison pills that will give the executive branch unilateral authority to shut down websites and social media accounts they believe to be compromised by foreign actors.

By alleging supposed "foreign threat actors" influence in our operations, they are setting the table to shut us down and silence the last dissenting voice in national party politics.
