Mechanisms of censorship of the 'freest social network'

[ColonelCassad] Today is a significant day in the USA. You could say the second coming of Edward Snowden. Elon Musk linked to a series of tweets released by journalist Matthew Taibbi explaining how Twitter hushed up the Biden laptop story in detail.

So, what's inside the tweets:

Almost from the very beginning, Twitter was engaged in internal censorship. Those materials that the company considered related to fraud and pornography were deleted or strongly pessimized in the feed, they could not be quickly retweeted, and the posts were also deleted.

However, this system of "checks and balances" soon ceased to apply only to commercial things and frauds. Famous people and politicians began to turn to Twitter to delete information about themselves: by 2020, this system was rebuilt and worked perfectly.

More than 96% of Twitter's employee policy donations ($309,722 in 2018) went to Democrats.

On October 4, 2020, the New York Post published BIDEN'S SECRET LETTERS, an exposé based on the contents of Hunter Biden's lost laptop. And Twitter took "extraordinary measures to hide the story by removing links and posting warnings that it might be 'unsafe'." They even blocked its transmission via direct messages, a tool that until now has been used only in extreme cases, such as with child pornography.

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany was banned from her account for tweeting about the story, with a "violent letter" on Twitter about the matter from Trump campaign staffer Mike Khan, who fumed, "At least pretend you care for the next 20 days."

The laptop story was removed from EVERYWHERE for violating the company's "hacked content" policy.

The decision was made at the highest levels of the company, but without the knowledge of CEO Jack Dorsey. Vijaya Gadde, former head of legal, political and trust at Twitter, played a key role in the story.

By this point, “everyone knew it was fucked up,” said one former employee.

Several employees tried to argue with management about the decisions made. Former VP of Global Communications (Partner) Brandon Borrman asks, "Can we honestly say this is part of the policy?"

Vice President and Consul General of NetChoice (this, as we understand it, is such an association that allegedly monitors the observance of freedom on the Internet, lol - an intermediary between Internet companies and the state) Carl Szabo, meanwhile, warned Twitter that at the upcoming hearings in Congress they are waiting for a "bloodbath".

Szabo's letter contains chilling passages reflecting the position of Democratic lawmakers. They want "more" moderation, and as for the Bill of Rights (the US constitution), it is "not absolute ," writes Szabo.

The funny thing about this whole story is that Jack Dorsey was allegedly not in the know and out of discussion (which we girls, frankly, do not believe in)

Girls, if we (you) love stories about REAL cannibals so much, and not these pathetic scumbags from Insider, enjoy. What a fucking asshole.
Now one can only imagine what has been and has been happening in the Russian segment of Twitter all these years.

Following commentary by Russian military journalist Bris Rozhin
Of course, there are no special openings here. Musk only confirmed what was already well known.
Well known on the right, well-denied on the left. Musk’s only confirmed is actually a big deal, though the left continues to deny that this is in any way interesting or important.
But now this information has been essentially verified by the new owner of Twitter. Along the way, for the narrow-minded, they show how the most common and banal direct political censorship is carried out under the guise of stories about "freedom of speech" and "the fight against disinformation."

And yes, Dorsey certainly knew about it.
Despite all the insistence about his ignorance thus far? How sweet. But if he knew, then he has legal liability. And if he did not know, then no doubt he is also legally liable — as chief executive officer of the company he has a fiduciary responsibility to put systems in place to prevent employees acting either unlawfully or in ways that drive away customers and thereby reduce shareholder value.
Just like the leadership of Facebook is well aware of the work of similar mechanisms of political censorship in its "no less free social network". Actually, these revelations replicated by Musk bring to life a stream of threats from the Democratic Party and part of the globalist establishment, who see this as a direct a threat to the built global mechanism of censorship and control over narratives.
Interesting that a Russian is waxing so indignant on behalf of the rights of Americans at the hands of an American company, given a certain dearth of such rights back home.
Anything to avoid scoring an own goal, I guess...

#2 /\ No need for a costly dem campaign effort. The man should be taken by his word.

"We have put together I think the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”
~ Joe Biden
