Short version, yup, tons of collusion between Twitter employees and government employees to censor information, though apparently more of a "Oops we made a mistake, let's keep going with it" than "Grand conspiracy" material. Also, senior execs managed to keep it from then-CEO Jack Dorsey.
Dorsey seemed to impress me early on as a bit clueless but not rabidly leftist like many. This seems to support that. The early disclosures were pretty much what we have known. Guessing by the lefty freakout there is more, and more damaging, revelations upcoming. I'm interested in seeing evidence of 1st amendment censorship collusion with DNC and the white house. The smoke hints at it strongly.
Not quite.Quote:

That sounds very much like an intentional act by Gadde and others, not "oops, we made a mistake". Gadde's history has shown she is an ideologue and partisan so this isn't any surprise and as Chief Legal Officer, none of the peons below were willing to try to reverse her.Quote:
“They just freelanced it,” is how one former employee characterized the decision. “Hacking was the excuse, but within a few hours, pretty much everyone realized that wasn’t going to hold. But no one had the guts to reverse it.”
Jim Baker, who advised to "stay the course", was also an ardent partisan and anti-Trumper so I'm not inclined to give him the benefit of doubt in making an honest mistake. It looks more like using the appearance of caution to cover for a blatantly partisan impulse. Add the collusion with Democrat lawmakers who wanted more "moderation" and it looks more and more like conspiracy to keep information on the Bidens' foreign dealings out of the news until after the election.
The latest: Twitter attorney Jim Baker was "exited" from the company. Looks like he may have been trying to censor some of the files being released, omitting references to his former FBI employers.

Sounds like the X-Files, eventually they get solved. Usually a tale of who is doing who, in the zoo! It would be really fun to own a rocket firm, an ISP and a social media outlet. Am I being too cryptic?
I'd say more obtuse than cryptic but whatever floats your boat ...
For those that have been paying attention, the twitter files are really nothing more so far than providing receipts for what we already knew had to be happening. I'm interested in new dumps showing evidence of collusion/collaboration between FBI-Twitter. White House-Twitter, and other social media-Twitter (Facebook, google, Youtube, Instagram, etc). This has all kinds of angles, from 1st degree gov violation of 1st amendment, election interference, antitrust violations, corruption, tax-exempt activity, and section 290 violations.
The hard part about this is even if the house makes criminal referrals to the (in)justice dept, it will take a new prez in 2024 to install a new AG & justice dept to actually do anything about it.
The Removal of Donald Trump, Part One: Oct 2020-Jan 6th

Reddit, out right banned, the_donald, never looked back.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Apparently only _one_ person, who was low level, had serious concerns:
https://twitter.com/ShellenbergerMD/...38099062558720
"This might be an unpopular opinion but one off ad hoc decisions like this that don't appear rooted in policy are imho a slippery slope and reflect an alternatively equally dictatorial problem. This now appears to be a fiat by an online platform CEO with a global presence that can gatekeep speech for the entire world - which seems unsustainable."

My Alexa, will stop talking to me, if I start talking politics.
Reddit, openly censors, conservatives, The_Donald, etc., and promotes threads that drive racism, anti-work, etc.
TikTok, is recognized as a facet of the Chinese Government, pushing stories and narratives to our young people (and everyone) that are destructive to the American way.
The latest Twitter Files, show that our own Government is doing things to Donald Trump, worse than Watergate.
But yet, there are no repercussions, nor any evidence at all that Government can be stopped.
-John
They ALL do it. And all they have to do is censor stuff for the first week or two until they've set the narrative. After that it doesn't matter what gets out. People will never change their minds at that point. The majority of the country still believes the Russian Trump dossier.
Here are a couple screenshots I took of my searches for various things within days of the initial events... These examples are from CNN and FB. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...faf8afeb1e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3c22cd5293.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...630f8343d8.jpg
This has gone on far longer than Twitter, Trump, or TikTok. The 1A has been under direct assault going back to at least the War Between The States. If what you say has been considered wrong speech, you will be censored.

No, this is new, Joe K, as so much communication now happens online. It's instantly available to the Government, where an article in the Denver Post, 20 years ago, would take ages to reach Government, and/or cause a free speech issue.Quote:

Perhaps more importantly, the PEOPLE we listen to, are being selected by Government. We don't get to hear differing opinions. Those are censored.
This is communist China, nothing less.

In fact, they are now conditioned to immediately dismiss any discussion about that and many other subjects as right wing disinformation.Quote:

Not sure what the exact term is, but at this point enough resources and momentum are engaged and fighting on the other side to win the war.

Elvis IS alive! I knew it this whole time.
The Media and Government are obviously in this together, and what they did to Donald Trump is so much worse than Watergate.
-John
What they did to the American people, is tantamount to treason.
What they continue to do today, is unconscionable.
But it is up to each one of us, to go to City Council meetings, and fight.
Go to School Council meetings, and fight.
Go to your neighbors and ask them to fight with you.
-John
The majority don't have either the stomach nor the inclination (too lazy) for a fight. So long as they can use the drive-thru to get their take-out coffee, all is good in their world.
To get people to stand up and make their voices heard they have to feel a direct, obvious and personal offense to themselves. For most folks, what is going on in their communities, state and this nation offers degrees of separation to see and feel the effects directly and obviously. Even when folks can see the offenses those committing them just point their fingers at others (usually blaming Conservatives) and the sheep believe what they're told.
Nothing will change because people are too comfortable. Those receiving the benefits of bad government behavior are growing in number and have an interest in continuing down this path. By the time those feeling the pinch recognize what's happening they will be too far into the minority to be able to do anything about it. It's happened many times throughout history; it just happens to be happening to us now.
The ones best situated and equipped to handle the problem are on the drip and are essentially hired guns for the system that is unrecognizably broken.
Every so often a convenient conflict is drummed up and the MAM population goes off to fight yet another foreign war and the stinking festering cancer at home is swept back under the rug and handed down to the next generation to deal with.
Simultaneously, each successive generation is less and less equipped to deal with the reality of the problem through the continued and ever increasing reliance on the drip, mass formation psychosis through all forms of Media and big H History TM along with a sustained effort to slowly genocide off the American population.
The population is kept ever so divided by the illusion of differing political parties and politicians, sports, and the hyper focus on all things that divide and confuse, class, race, age, sex, immigration, government administrated charitable programs, ones particular flavor of sexual deviancy, and a purposefully designed confusing economic system.
