Twitter is an enemy of free speech and tolerance.
It's not that Twitter lacks intellectual diversity (and is 99.7%+ Democrats, based on political donations), or that they censor conservative truths that are too hard for them to debate. It's that they lied about it, and pretended there was no shadow campaign or bias. Hopefully Elon Musks acquisition will help with that.

  • "It's a free company, they can do what they want" ~ Every liberal on Twitter until the day Elon Musk bought Twitter
  • "OMG, we can't let rich Tech billionaires allow free speech" ~ Every liberal on Twitter the day after Elon Musk bought it

That's scarily Orwellian.

Before Must bought it, I mentioned it is still their company and they get to be as dicky as they want to be with it (within the bounds of the law). But I'm going to point out their moral terpitude just so that consumers can make an informed choice -- not as any call to action (legal, governmental or otherwise).

Pre-Musk
Twitter was an enemy of free speech and tolerance.
Examples include:
  • shadow banning conservatives (and admitting it, on-tape)
  • some of their employees getting excited about violating their members privacy (assuming those members are conservatives/Trump)
  • they suppressed anti-Hillary tweets during the election
  • blocking anti-Biden truths like the Hunter Biden Laptop
  • Post-Musk Twitter decided to tolerate all free speech that didn't violate the law. And the left lost their shit. Since they can't win fairly in a debate of ideas, they NEED to censor the other side, or they're marginalized by the truth. And they know it enough to try to destroy Elon Musk, Twitter, and free speech. If they get their way? The country is lost, and arguable the world, as America created and defended the idea of the 1A/Free Speech. Certainly Europe, Asian, Australia, or anywhere in Africa or the Americas was close.


Twitter Bias[edit source]

           Main article: Twitter Bias
  • 2019.06.11 YouTube Censors Project Veritas - Project Veritas created a video that showed who/how Pinterest was censoring LiveAction.org (a Christian group) as "Pornography" for (a) showing facts about abortion (b) how others were mislabelling folks as Neo-Nazi's/White Supremacists. YouTube and Twitter censored the video (or posting about it) claiming it was doxing. Multiple real journalists cried foul.
  • Andrew Tate - Ex Kickboxer and Social Influencer gets cancelled by many social media platforms for the high crime of wrong-think.
  • Andy Ngo twitter-blocked for posting facts - Chelsea Clinton highlighted the deaths of more than 150 trans people who “have been murdered in the U.S.” since 2013. Andy Ngo tweeted back the facts: “The US is one of the safest countries for trans people. The murder rate of trans victims is actually lower than that for cis population. Also, who is behind the murders? Mostly black men.” And Twitter blocked Andy.
  • Banning anti-Hillary tweets (2017) - Twitter was intentionally censoring anti-Hillary tweets they found uncomfortably true during the election (2016). Not just personal attacks, but filtering reality, while misrepresenting their mission and terms of use. This violates Campaign Contributions/election law as well.
  • Carpe Donktum - A twitter troll (Carpe Donktum) summed up the leftist outrage mob by imagining responses to Trump tweeting the picture of a horse.
  • Meghan Murphy - Journalist Meghan Murphy got Twitter-banned because a trans-activist (Jessica Yaniv) got her to admit that "men aren't women", and that was enough for it to be trans-harassment, and poof. Jessica has sketchy behavior with bad lawsuits, sexually explicit tweets to pre-teens, doesn't seem to concern they Twitter Speech-Nazi's.
  • Mother Teresa quote twitter blocked as a hate speech - Mother Teresa, "Abortion is profoundly anti-women. Three quarters of its victims are women: half the babies and all the mothers." That was blocked by Twitter as hate speech. Seriously. When asked by Ted Cruz, they refused to admit so, but said the context mattered. How is one saints opinion hate speech? Imagine all the biblical or Koranic quotes that need to be purged!
  • SPLC dropped by Twitter (2019) - Twitter has quietly dumped the Southern Poverty Law Center from its “Trust and Safety Council”, which would mean more if they had never been on it in the first place. Still, baby steps.
  • Shadow Banning - Some chickenshit institutions (like Twitter) don't have the balls to come out and explain their policies outright. (Probably because they don't want to be held to objective standards). So they "Shadow Ban" folks -- which is basically silently blocking customers (preventing others from seeing them), and not living up to their expected terms of use.
  • Twitter Suspends James O’Keefe - Twitter locked/suspended Project Veritas's Jame O'Keefe, for the high crime of reporting the truth about Democrat Bernie Sanders campaign staffers. James caught WaPo in FakeNews, claiming Kyle Jurek and Martin Weissgerber (two campaign staffers calling for violent revolutionary acts) were "volunteers" when they were paid campaign staffers.
  • Twitter bans Erick Erickson for Elizabeth Warren Joke - Conservative radio host and blogger Erick Erickson got banned for "hateful conduct", for the following joke: “Elizabeth Warren set to introduce the Wrecking American Prosperity Under Marxism, or WAMPUM Act, wherein she gives everything away for free.” (A Wampum is a traditional Native American jewelry bead made from shells).
  • Twitter blocks Senate Majority Leader - To show that Twitter has lost their fucking minds, they locked/suspended the Senate Majority leader (Mitch McConnell's) account for hate speech. Why? Because he showed a video of leftist protestors swearing and threatening him and his family (calling for his beheading).
  • Twitter-ban for mocking Maxine (2018) - Maxine, the perpetual liar and insulter, accused someone of being a Russian Bot, and they retorted that she was a retarded, corrupt, and has a bad wig... and they blocked the rebutter for 7 days. The lie of calling someone a Russian asset isn't an insult, but pointing out the truth that they wear a bad wig/weave is.
  • Twitter/Banned tweets - After Elon bought Twitter, Sara Gonzales decided to run a stream of previously bannable tweets. For some reason, Twitter Management decided not to ban her for something, they would have eliminated her for the day before. Not because of what she said, but because now there was going to be accountability for what they did.
  • Slack Twitter had an internal Slack channel unironically called “Fauci Fan Club”[1]

Twitter Files[edit source]

           Main article: Twitter Files
Twitter-Files.png
FakeNews and the MSM (but I repeat myself), had very little interest in covering this story. And where they did cover it, it was usually water carrying for Biden admin, pretending this was old news and nothing new was coming out, or spinning it for the DNC. Which discredits them even more. You don't have to cover it like a conservative, but at least admit both sides concerns/issues.

The facts are that most Americans (76% according to Harvard+Harris poll) think this was a political hit job and want prosecutions, most of the other 24% are either idiots or partisans that can/should be ignored. Also 68% think the collaboration was a violation of the 1A -- and that's WITH suppression of the Twitter Files reporting. If the information was out there more, it would likely be higher... and we know that generally conservatives are usually under-represented in polls done by far-left leaning universities (like Harvard).[2]

Twitter Files • [12 items]
Part 01 - Hunter Biden Laptop
Discussed internal deliberation to censor the NYP story on Hunter Biden's laptop. They did it knowing it did not violate their rules, likely for partisan reasons. (Which Dorsey CEO later denied to congress, this showed he lied). It also discussed how they blocked/banned/shadowbanned tweets and people for telling uncomfortable truths that the leftists at Twitter didn't like. The bias was left leaning (96-99% of donations went to Democrats). Both support the partisan bias theory that Democrats have denied (or laughably claimed was a anti-left-wing bias), it also proves the Biden admin lied that they were not in contact with Twitter over the Hunter Biden story.
  • They censored based on the company's prohibition on hacked materials, knowing and admitting that the materials in question were not hacked. Deputy General Counsel Jim Baker approved the story's suppression anyways, "it is reasonable for us to assume they may have been (hacked)" despite zero evidence that supports that.
  • It mentioned that requests came from both Biden and Trump campaigns, but pointed out that there were more leftist channels and sympathies, and offered multiple examples of Trump campaign/officials getting blocked, or 5 tweets the Biden Admin had blocked and no examples provided for Trump examples of them going after the left.
  • Ro Khanna (d) had warned then-Twitter head of legal Vijaya Gadde (d) that there were free-speech implication and possible political backlash.
  • Four tweets contained nude photos and videos of Hunter Biden, with illegal drugs, guns, underage looking girls, and other crimes. Twitter used the idea that this was revenge Porn, to block it. Even though it's a stretch, and they virtually never apply those standards to other adult content on the site.
  • The left uses Taibbi's assessement that there was no government pressure to pretend that there was nothing wrong with Biden (the soon to be President) and his operatives collaborating with far-lefties at twitter to censor people for their common political agenda. Which even if it turns out to be legally true (wait and see), is still not ethically true.
  • The far left and FakeNews outlets like Wikipedia pretend there's no 1A problem with censoring things on Twitter, because they're a private company. However, past and likely future rulings will show that it's murky at best -- but certainly Cable Companies, Telco/Internet Providers and forums like Twitter can not be manipulated by government agents without some 1A implications.
Jim Baker
In between Part 1 and Part 2 it was exposed that Jim Baker (FBI operative that was all over the fake Trump-Russia Collusion hoax) was working at Twitter and filtering what was getting released to the Journalists. He was quickly fired, but this caused a delay in Part 1 and Part 2 releases -- and brings up lots of new questions that will need to be investigated. (Including files and data that was deleted to prevent exposure).
It was also shown that many ex-FBI people were hired at Twitter, to facilitate working with the FBI, eventhough the FBI folks were not versed in anything related to the Social Media giant, and had no practical skills applicable to a private company. To the point where they had on-boarding documents for ex-FBI employees.
  • Part 02 - Shadow Banning Twitter's Blacklists (Shadow Banning), a practice referred to as "visibility filtering" by previous Twitter management. Weiss showed that they censored Libs of TikTok, Jay Bhattacharya, Dan Bongino, Charlie Kirk. Playing word parsing, prior management claims that they didn't "Shadow ban" as that would be 100% blocking of content, this was only eliminating all discoverability of the tweets so was just "filtering".
  • Part 03 - The Removal of Donald Trump (Part 1) Twitter met regularly with the FBI, and they decided that while Trump didn't violate any of their actual rules, they decided to ban him anyways, because they felt he was going to flirt with the edge of the rules. The straw that broke the camels back was when he said he wasn't going to the innaugeration that Democrats didn't want him to attend (as it would have been disruptive and taken the focus off Sleepy Joe).
  • Part 04 - Attack on the Capitol
    J6 gave Twitter the excuse to ban Trump, even though all evidence was that Trump did nothing illegal or immoral. Of course you can't reason with leftists on this because the facts don't matter -- they turn to the echo chamber of far leftists claiming they know what this means based on dog whistles and fevered imaginations, and it is so bad that they must be stopped.
  • 2017 - Yoel Roth tweeted there were, “actual Nazis in the White House.”
  • 2021.01.07 - When asked about banning Trump, Roth says that Trump only has one strike remaining (without offering what the other two are, beyond being a conservative, and being someone that far-lefties hated).
  • 2021.01.08 - They banned Trump because of future thought crimes -- the risk of further incitement of violence. (Never mind that he had done less to incite violence than the majority of top Democrats). Not based on what Trump actually said, but based on what the far left thinks that the far right is interpreting his words to mean, based on their complete unwillingness to listen to anyone on the right.
  • 2021.01.08 - only one person in twitter complained, a low level person that warned the obvious, "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... This now appears to be a fiat by an online platform CEO with a global presence that can gatekeep speech for the entire world..."
  • 2021.01.08 - They also blocked #StopTheSteal -- first admitting that ToS violations and this had virtually no overlap, but they blocked it anyways. Claiming that this was a QAnon Conspiracy theory and thus if they could outlaw QAnon, they could outlaw this.
  • 2021.01.08 - The march of the Marxists continues, when they decide to find a reason to block Rep. Matt Gaet, again not for any crimes/violations, but because they don't like what he's implying.
  • 2022.04 - Roth told a colleague that his goal “is to drive change in the world,” which is why he decided not to become an academic. Never put activists in charge of policy -- their goals are not balance or fairness but activism.
  • Part 05 - Removal of Trump
    After giving Trump 2 strikes for unarticulated reasons (and not violating their ToS), Twitter imagines in a 3rd strike. The offending last straw was, "To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.” How this violates any ToS involves a ton of prestidigitation, and imagination.
    • Even internal employees squacked on their lame excuses like, “Maybe because I am from China,” said one employee on January 7, “I deeply understand how censorship can destroy the public conversation.”
    • Though the vast majority of employees were filtered for their leftist bonafides in hiring, and thus they all cheered or demanded blood on internal slack channels
    • Safety says, "We haven't found any violations"... but then does this as an FYI, not a protest in any form. When asked to testify she claimed that if they hadn't of done the ban, people were going to die -- though of course is unable to articulate how or why.
    • They also expose their biasess by saying posts much more insightful of violence like
      • the Ayotola of Iran tweeting, "“#Israel is a malignant cancerous tumor in the West Asian region that has to be removed and eradicated: it is possible and it will happen.”
      • on October 2020, the former Malaysian Prime Minister said it was “a right” for Muslims to “kill millions of French people.” (The tweet was removed, but not the tweeter).
      • In October 2021, Twitter allowed Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed to call on citizens to take up arms against the Tigray region.
      • In early February 2021, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government threatened to arrest Twitter employees in India, and to incarcerate them for up to seven years after they restored hundreds of accounts that had been critical of him.
    • The excuse used is that Trump tweeted before the one in question that, "The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!”" -- Twitter Thought Crimes division claims that tweet may have violated Twitter’s Glorification of Violence policy—if you interpreted the phrase “American Patriots” to refer to the rioters. However, the tweet itself precludes that with "The 75,000,000 great American Patriots"... he was NOT claiming just the rioters, or even mentioning them in any way.
    • And the fascists think they're the good guys, and celebrate the banning of their political enemies, not for anything he actually said -- but because of what the haters imagine he thought.
    Part 06 - Twitter the FBI Subsidiary
    The FBI paid for influence and the power to micromanage censorship at Twitter in ways that are antithetical to the 1A. Hundreds of emails banning all the way down to minor accounts for obvious satire. Twitter followed their marching orders from the FBI ministry of truth, and would invent excuses to ban people to appease the thought police at FBI.

    The FBI, State Governments and Twitter had a cozy (Fascist) relationship, where far left agents in the FBI and far left activists in Twitter collaborated to suppress information that would work against the DNC or Big Government. Private companies enacting government policies for the sake of advancing governments political agendas is the very definition of Fascism. 80 agents in the FBI whining about low volume or satire accounts, and paying for that access is criminally against the first amendment. In the end, there was government interference violating the spirit of the 1A, and it interfered with an election -- nobody that's OK with that, is a good American, no matter how much they hate OrangeMan.

    • Part 06.1 - Supplimental Basically just defense of is earlier posts in proving that Twitter was voluntarily working as a division of the FBI, and furtering the political agenda of the DNC controlled FBI.
    Part 07 - The FBI and the Hunter Biden Laptop
    The FBI was intentionally spreading disinformation ("Russian disinfo" narrative) to discredit the Hunter Biden laptop truths before and after it was published, to encourage Big Tech to censor legitimate stories ahead of the election -- having had the Laptop for over a year, knowing it wasn't hacked, and suppressing an investigation into the laptop and contents thereof.
    They did that knowing full well that it was Hunters laptop (easily confirmed, and they had the laptop for over a year), that it was not Russian hacking, they knew the information on it was real, and was criminal (or certainly worth discusson in public forum in the run-up to an election, and investigation that was also suppressed).

    This is smoking gun; they manipulated an election, knowing they were manipulating it. They paid Twitter over $3M (more going to other Social Media companies) to buy information suppression, which makes them culpable of bribery, and Congressional Oversight guilty of malfeasance for failure to control them.

    • Part 08 - Pentagons covert PsyOp Campaign The media giant facilitated Pentagon PsyOps operations giving them special magnification, immunity from the other rules, basically, they were doing everything they accused the Russians of doing to us. Only Russia didn't have the resources/connection but the Deep State and Twitter collaborated on it.
    FBI tells everyone to look away
    The FBI claims, "It is unfortunate that conspiracy theorists and others are feeding the American public misinformation with the sole purpose of attempting to discredit the agency." Except that they are emails/texts from the FBI conspiring with Twitter -- that's not a theory, those are facts. And the gaslighting is doing more to discredit the agency than the truth is.
    The FBI claims, "It is unfortunate that conspiracy theorists and others are feeding the American public misinformation with the sole purpose of attempting to discredit the agency."

    The rational point out that the FBI trying to gaslight the gullible. It depressing for both its gross incompetence, and faith that Democrats will buy it despite it being so obviously dumb.

    How is releasing their own emails a conspiracy theory or misinformation?

    How Twitter rigged the COVID debate
    How the administration and FBI bullied Twitter (and other Social Media; Google, Microsoft, Facebook) to shut down Doctors/Medical professionals putting out anything that contradicts the leftist narratives on Masking, Vaccines, Treatments, and so on. And of course how Twitter (et al) went along and facilitated the censorship and misinformation.
    The Trump admin had meetings too -- but their meetings were on topics like preventing runs on goods at grocery stores, by not magnifying misinformation on shortages. The Biden admin (or admin elect) was on censoring any negative vaccine truths and blocking them as anti-Vaxxers.

    Twitter Security Failures[edit source]

    NO Twitter.png
    Peter Zatko (Mudge)
    YouTube Logo 2017.svg

    Twitter Head of Security and Whistleblower.

    A Whistleblower (Peter Zatko, ex Security exec at Twitter) was blowing the doors off how poorly Twitter was managed in his testimony to congress.

    • Twitter Mismanagement Twitter was the worst managed Big Tech company, according to Whistleblower / ex security executive Peiter "Mudge" Zatko.
    1. Foreign assets working at twitter, but that was blown off by Management as no concern.
      • What this means in the real world is that a Chinese National saying the wrong things in America on twitter, could be outted, then harassed or killed for what he posted by the CCP. But Twitter Management was either too stupid to understand what that meant, or too callous to care about the lives of victims of despotism.
    2. 5,000+ people had privileged access to production. (They had no dev->stage->production flow, everything was done live). Then they remoted in to their work machines, and had spyware on one of both of them.
    3. This means that hackers could not only compromise the developers system, but all the data on production (including customer data). And without End-to-end encryption for DMs (they don't have that), it means everything on Twitter was available to foreign spys.
    4. Twitters systems were fragile, and might be unrecoverable if everything came down at once, and they had no way to bring it all up. This almost happened and caused a scramble, but they still didn't fix it.
    5. These violations meant they had not complied with their promises to FTC and their board about using SDLC processes, and lied about it. (Basic SOX compliance failure). This violates transparency and reporting rules, and is very, very bad.


    More[edit | edit source]

    • 2019.01.27 Learn to Code - ❄️ The left is angry because after the Obama administration's anti-business/anti-coal policies put many thousands of coal miners out of work they supported the administrations, "Learn to Code" response. Then the same Journos/Organizations had lay-offs... and they found the "Learn to Code" retweets insensitive, when it was being applied to them.
    • 2020 Georgia - Georgia irregularities: election workers broke the law, illegal absentee ballot harvesting by Democrat led non-profits, Biden's poll numbers were way lower than Obama/Hillary in every city in the nation except 4 swing cities (Milwaukee, Detroit, Atlanta and Philadelphia), 132K Ballots likely ineligible, 95K no down ticket ballots for Biden, uncounted Trump votes. Etc.
    • Banning - Banning in Social Media is the equivalent of book burning. Define the terms clearly, show your work/documentation, apply fairly. Be the opposite of now. Double standards, opaque, dishonest: Facebook, Twitter, Google, and others that want to arbiters of fairness only demonstrating hypocrisy and cowardice.
    • Candi CdeBaca - Denver Democrat (Candi CdeBaca) re-tweeted, ‘If I do get Coronavirus, I’m attending every MAGA rally I can’, with the addition, "#solidarity Yaaaas!!". (Implying she wanted to infect as many Republicans with a deadly virus that she could). Conservatives were perma-banned for far less. But Twitter looks the other way for Democrats.
    • Coronavirus as hate - Democrats never let an opportunity to politicize, demonize and hate go to waste. Corona Virus (COVID-SARS-2) was a delicious opportunity to undermine election integrity, freedom with artificial and unhelpful polarizing mandates, and the delicious ability to attack anyone that didn't immediately tow the progressive/fascist line.
    • Democrats on violence - If you want a list of quotes that show the Democrats taking the low road, dehumanizing, and using far worse rhetoric than Trump does, we have things like the following. An objective media would fire or shame these people for such hate. Instead, they sensationalize it. Twitter didn't block any of them but blocks conservatives for far less
    • Demoting - Demoting is the the opposite of promoting. In Social Media, it's a technique to censor / ban or reduce exposure. Sometimes it's silent (Shadow Banning), sometimes it's public. But it's a way to suppress and attack, usually for telling uncomfortable truths.
    • Digital Kristallnacht - Under the urging of Biden administration and supporters, Social Media enacted Digital Kristallnacht: ripping through 7,000 Conservative individuals, digital businesses and communities on Social Media, breaking windows, banning, and blocking, in order to harass and ban them, all in the name of faux healing and unity.
    • Jack Dorsey - If generation-TidePod needed a leader, that person would be CEO of Twitter (Jack Dorsey). He thinks thinks Democrats should start and win a cultural civil war, by a generation that doesn't know not to eat laundry detergent, or how to hunt and skin a free range Tofurky. He forgets the other side could beat his goat-yoga practicing ass into next week, without breaking a sweat.
    • Elongate - Elon made 3 1/2 rule changes to Twitter: (1) No Swastika's (Kanye) (2) No Pedophiles (3) Don't Doxx people's real-time location (security threats). Journo's mass tested #3 and were 7 day suspended, and discovered the 1/2 change -- that the rules applied to them too. This caused outrage amongst the ignorant, hypocrites, and partisans. So CNN, WaPo, FakeNews was horrified.
    • Everytown for Gun Safety - A Michael Bloomberg financed propaganda outfit dedicated to undermining and eradicating the 2A (and NRA) through the use of Fake Studies in order to misinform the public on guns, crime and gun safety. Or just get their facts wrong by 4x exaggerations. It was created by merging two prior failed and discredited outfits of Bloomberg's.
    • Everytown for Gun Safety - A guy (Andy Rutledge) exposed and mocked Everytown for Gun Safety for not knowing which way bullets go in a magazine, and so Twitter blocked his account for telling uncomfortable truths. He went to a new account, but they blocked that one as well for thought crimes.
    • Gab - Gab is a free-speech alternative to Twitter, launched in 2016. Social networks are the sum of it's participants. Gab has lots of disenfranchized -- so some great, some quality drops. Because Apple opposes Free Speech there's no iOS App, though you can use their web interface at gab.com.
    • Jessica Yaniv - A trans-activist in Canada (previously known as Jonathan Yaniv) was trying to force women to wax his genitalia. Since one refused (they didn't offer Manzilians), he filed a complaint with the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal citing gender identity discrimination, demanding financial restitution.
    • John Lott/Twitter Ban for telling truth - Banned from Twitter for telling the truth about the New Zealand shooter. That the shooter's manifesto claimed that he attacked the Mosque to get more gun control/gun bans in New Zealand and the US, that he was a socialist, environmentalist who hated capitalists and trade.
    • Kyle Rittenhouse/Fake News - Twitter/Ayanna Pressley:spread lies about Kyle, and refused to take them down.
    • Kyle Rittenhouse/Fake News - Twitter:Punished Libertarian for saying Kyle did nothing wrong (later proven true by the Jury ruling).
    • Libs of TikTok - LoTT was a Twitter account that exposed leftist ideology in schools, by sharing what the "teachers" posted online themselves. Since these radical lefists telling the truth horrified the public, the far-left claimed LoTT was promoting hate by letting the left tell their stories. So LoTT was attacked/doxxed by WaPo/Taylor Lorenz, German Government and other hate groups.
    • Lindsay Shepherd - Canadian free speech activist Twitter-banned for showing Jessica Yaniv) made false human rights complaints. KY... er JY accused Lindsay of having a loose vagina (from having a baby) while "she" (JY) still had a tight "pussy" (despite only having an anus). JY kept her account, LS lost hers for fighting back.
    • Mary Ann Mendoza - Blocked angel mom who lost her son to an illegal alien in 2014, is a bit of an activists against open borders. She committed the high twitter crime of criticizing Democratic presidential candidate and California Sen. Kamala Harris for her inane stance on illegal immigration and sanctuary cities.
    • Mastadon - Self-hosted Social Network (Twitter/Tumblr) started in 2016 to combat Facebook or Tumblr de-platforming/censorship.
    • Mastodon - An OpenSource Twitter competitor that far-left "Journalists" fled to, when Musk brought Twitter back to it's original charter (being communications for everyone, not just far leftists). The Nanny-State Hall Monitors started reporting on each other, and blocking themselves and the posts, in a comedy of errors.
    • Nancy Rommelmann - Nancy did a PragerU video: "How to Become a Dangerous Person" explaining what happened to her for the left-crime of creating a #MeNeither hashtag to discuss complex issues like #MeToo (aka should we really accept accusations without evidence). And the Twitter mob descended on her like Antifa on an Asian guy filming them.
    • Omar challenger (Danielle Stella) banned for supporting the law. - Danielle Stella, Ilhan Omar challenger, had both her campaign and personal account perma-banned by Twitter, for the high crime of disagreeing with Omar. .
    • Oversharing (2018) - Project Veritas video showed how Twitter would share Trump's private messages, a little too gleefully. While they have a history of being loose with our privacy, the majority of the point was "with the DOJ". That's not just a good idea, it's the law. So I don't have much of a problem with this (other than the DOJ is corrupt). But the gleefully part is concerning.
    • Parler - Pronounced “par-lay” (not parlor) was set up in 2018 as another free speech alternative to Twitter. As Twitter became a more fascist collective, Parler started growing massively. Then Twitter banned Trump and Conservatives Digital Kristallnacht, under the false premise of "insurrection", and in a coordinated attack, tried to destroy Parler as well.
    • Social Media Censorship - Left-leaning tech companies like Facebook, Twitter, Google, YouTube, Instagram are the ones that are most likely to censor/filter what the public sees... in the name of free speech of course. But they got our data by promising to be fair, non-partisan and for freedom of information: things that all turned out to be lies.
    • Greta Thunberg - A clueless special-needs girl (Scoldilocks) tantrums over things she doesn't understand. FakeNews/leftist activists treat it like her opinions matter. It's child abuse. Greta is this clueless, nasty little teen (Lisa Simpson crossed with Bane) that has been ruthlessly exploited and programmed by the far left (and her Parents) to think the world is ending.
    • Thursday Night Massacre - Elon said "No Doxxing". Journos tested him by doxxing. Got 18 hour suspension, and lost their shit. How dare rules apply to them? Wikipedia snowflakes wrote a 3,000 word article whining about it, or relaying all the far left whining about it, without much in the way of counterbalance.
    • Transgender Expert Twitter-blocked for quoting the DSM-5 - Ray Blanchard a Toronto-based PhD, specialist on paraphilia for DSM-5, expressed his scientifically based opinion on transgenderism. Blanchard stated the view expressed by the APA, which defines transgenderism as a "type of mental disorder." So Twitter locked his account, and likely would have banned him if there wasn't such a backlash.
    • Twitter Bans people for exposing the Andy Ngo assailants - Andy Ngo spent the evening in the hospital with a brain bleed (and caustic burns) after being attacked by antifa during a protest in Oregon. Gay son of Vietnamese immigrants should be hit with bricks for photographing the violence of the Anti-American left. Twitter banned/de-verifyied (@Lucet_Veritas, @Rambobiggs) for exposing who did it.
    • Twitter Blocked - I got twitter slapped (again) for the high crime of saying we should leave trans and non-trans people alone. Context was a meme mocking being able to change genders (skeletally). Trans activist attacked. I rebutted far more civilly than they had with basically that, I have no problem with trans, as long as they aren't being bullies back. That got me smacked by Twitter-Trans-Mafia.
    • Twitter Ruining Journalism? - NYT Farhad Manjoo, Twitter is ruining journalism by letting Journo's expose themselves as shallow partisans, as exemplified by things like the Covington Saga. I think this is more the fault of Journo's igno-bias, and the failure of Journo schools, and publication holding their Journos accountable than Twitters fault, but they are an ingredient in the toxic asininity.
    • Twitter/Elon buys Twitter - Elon offered to buy twitter above fair price and fix it (bring back free speech). The left went into hysterics. Billionaire's shouldn't acquire media organizations (ignore Powell-Jobs controlling NYT, or Bezos's WaPo, Bloomberg, Buffett. This time it's different, because Elon values free speech and both sides getting heard.
    • Twitters Beto Double-Standard - Many Trump parody accounts are allowed. A lady ran one parody acocunt against the mock-worthy Beto's navel-gazing called BetosBlog -- and it was permanently destroyed because it was, "a violation of the Twitter Rules, specifically the policy on impersonation..." Something that they never had a problem with if it mocked a Republican.

    Conclusion[edit | edit source]

    The question is whether there's a trend and a pattern of bias or bad behavior that we can see? And the answer is we can, if we scratch the surface and look. Is Twitter as bad or worse that Facebook or Google? Don't know, don't care. The problem is that they're bad at all. Censoring others for a political agenda means you're not a communication platform but a propaganda arm of the DNC (or far left) -- the degree of filth is for someone else to decide, the facts are we've caught them repeatedly being filthy.
