Twitter Silences Wikileaks: Shadow Banned
Twitter.com ^ | 11/06/2016 | Stacey Reiman

Twitter tonight took the UNPRECEDENTED move of silencing the leading critic of Hillary Clinton, Wikileaks. Twitter took the action to mute their tweets tonight, so that just a fraction of their followers will see them, and they no longer show up in searches. Check for yourself:

search Twitter for tweets by @wikileaks

Spread the word.

Must be a WikiLeaks bombshell coming soon, like the Clinton people were warning everyone about.

I posted the Assange interview on FB. Not one comment. I expect it did not appear on anyone’s news feed.

they are conducting a last ditch attempt to prop up Hillary, and throwing out their own reputation in the process.

Twitter is going to pay for this, people will not forget.

Wikileaks will find another outlet. Here comes Gab.ai, I guess.

A lite preview of what a Clinton presidency will be like. Total information control.

I can’t find a reference now but back when Fox news was starting up HRC said something like “now we can’t get our message out”. Because there was a source they could not control.

The lib management at Twitter must have gotten a heads up that something BIG is about to be dumped on Hillary.

I sure get a feeling that we are already in the midst of a Civil War.

I’ve heard the term “the cold civil war.”

Although, it’s feeling like it’s getting warmer all the time.

this is huge and the NEWS should cover it, I pinged Hannity’s assistant on Twitter but it’s late and she may not get it due to the ban. She’s

@lyndamick

Please don’t ping her more than once ok? She seems super nice, I try not to bother her but I’ve pinged her a few times and she responds kindly. I wouldn’t over do it though.

What exactly does a shadow ban do? I see that Wikileaks just tweeted.

Wikileaks itself (website) appears to be down. All you get is “502 bad gateway”. This means any of the email links do not work.

Think the Clintonistas are worried about the sh!t hitting the fan? (Duh!!)

I am not savvy about Twitter so I have no idea what’s going on.

I can see stuff from the link above but have no idea if it’s different from what has been being tweeted, prior.

The link above is just a twitter search. Just got 2 more tweets from Wikileaks in the last 4 minutes.

Yes they’ve had several tweets in the last 15 minutes mainly about the questions fed to CNN and Clinton Foundation.
