The FBI would take those under suspicion of being involved with the Soviets for questioning. They would come up with blacklists and worked to expose possible traitors and communist sympathisers. Furthermore, the FBI were partly responsible for triggering the Hollywood Red scare (lasting from 1947-1951). The Hollywood Red Scare was a huge clampdown on the content within media (in other words, media censorship) as the Soviets/communists had purportedly 'infiltrated Hollywood' and were influencing American media and mass culture.
