Twitter now "Shadow Banning", hiding 100,000s of account replies under "Show More Replies" shadow
opinion | 01-21-2018 | ShivaFan

We are now witnessing open fascism from the far left within Twitter which also has an unholy alliance with Islamic extremism, NeverTrump and extemist groups such as Antifa, BLM, and the Democratic Party.

It is now happening at this time for tens of thousands of Twitter account in the USA, Canada, UK, and is expanding to Europe and Asian/South Asian countries such as India as well as attacking public figures who are moderate Islamists, or non-Islamic Indian Nationalists, and it is without question being done not just by automation and "word searches" but by human hires who are extreme left and scouring the replies and posts.

This is rapidly expanding from 100,000s to a much larger net worldwide. No doubt it will be in the millions very soon if Twitter does not lose it's entire audience when it becomes too obvious.

This is a form a "shadow banning" and the use of "Show More Replies". It is very fascistic and undemocratic, is a political form of suppression, read this carefully to understand how you may be impacted by this without even at first being aware of what is happening, it is a very deceitful form of suppression of the voice of the people and is digital totalitarianism.

If you for example reply to tweets saying this or that in support of the tax cuts, against DACA, in any regular or consistent manner, or regular or consistent replies against Islamic extremism, or if you are even a moderate Muslim who criticizes the extremism of the Muslim Brotherhood or Palestinian hate groups, or post replies in support of Trump on a consistent bases, and so on, the Twitter account user will not even notice that this "shadow ban" is in effect on their account, will not even be aware of the fact that all their replies are hidden under a "Show More Replies" shadow that hides their responses to other Twitter users.

That is because, if you log into your Twitter account with your logon and password, and post a tweet, you will see your tweet as if all things are normal. It will not be hidden under the "Show More Replies" shadow at the bottom of all the tweets within the thread and thus hidden when viewing from your account session. You will think everything is normal.

But if you login using a totally different Twitter ID/psw or view the thread from another account, you will not see your reply. It will be hidden under the "Show More Replies" and the bottom of the entire thread, the very bottom, hidden in a shadow umbrella. In fact, there are even two levels, more and more victims have all their tweets hidden TWO LEVELS under "Show More Replies" and then even after scrolling through these it is hidden under yet another shadow that is almost warning you to not go any further. And many, many, MANY tweets are totally disappearing entirely from ANY user view even though when logged into your own Twitter account you may see your tweets but NO ONE ELSE DOES.

Right now, for example, in the last few hours, many, many "Public Figure" Twitter accounts are also being suppressed in such a manner. The public figure may not even notice this at first because typically when they are viewing tweets, obviously they are logged in using their own Twitter ID/psw. But they are now noticing in the last two days and in the last few hours. For example, a well know anti-extremist Islamic Imam who is pro-Trump and anti-extremist and supports women's rights and is against the actions of the Democratic Party and posts regular tweets is now having all his tweets disappear entirely, or "shadow banned" etc..

There is no question about it. Twitter is working in alliance, in tandem,with the far left and this politically motivated suppression, is an arm of a form of totalitarianism endorsed by the extremist Democrats who want to replace representative government with a deep state, spy regime, they are anti-free speech, they are in an unholy alliance with Radical Islam, and we are watching now the furtherance of a totalitarian minded coup d'état from the far left in the USA and elsewhere that is not only involving Twitter but various levels of Obama era totalitarians who are unelected and anti-democratic. The extreme chilling and dangerous threat to our very Democratic freedoms is underway and in full force. God knows what will be the next step from these fascists/socialist/communist demagogic cult, but they have no good intentions for you or your children and absolutely planning evil intentions upon you. "Public Figures" on Twitter who are as I type this victims of this suppression have also discovered that the far left withing Twitter are posting fake/false posts which were never posted by the "Public Figure" at all - fakes. Fakes which are then used to try and totally delete the account or even try to put the person in prison.

A Saudi prince has increased his holdings in Twitter, making him the company’s second largest shareholder.

Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz Alsaud, who in 2011 invested $300 million in the social network, now owns 34.9 million shares of Twitter’s common stock, according to a new regulatory filing (pdf).

At nearly 5.2%, his stake in the company is now larger than that of Jack Dorsey, Twitter’s co-founder and newly re-minted CEO, whose 21.86 million shares give him 3.2% of the company, according to FactSet. (The prince previously had a stake of roughly 3%.)

Twitter co-founder Ev Williams remains the company’s largest shareholder, with 46.56 million shares for a 6.9% stake.

I would offer the observation that Twitter has peaked out and you will start to see a decline in participation with the ‘gimmick’. Facebook will suffer the same decline shortly as well.

Facebook did that to me on a left-wing site. They make it look like my comment is there for all to see...but when I didn’t get replies, I logged off, and it was gone.

Trump is the only reason I’m even on Twitter.

If they keep this up, he might move his messages to another platform and pronounce anathema upon them as he has the NFL and others who seemed to have suffered catastrophic losses afterwards.

Notice how everyone who attacks Trump seems to be cursed?

So, is this why you only see negative replies to Trump’s tweets? I only visit twitter every once in awhile to read his tweets and all the responses are hate-filled garbage.

I notice the same. Or when a liberal says something crazy, it is all positive responses.

Perhaps Trump should investigate and then announce his intention to move from Twitter to another service where anyone interested can view his remarks.

Twitter (and Facebook and Google) should be broken up pursuant to our anti-trust laws for monopolistic practices.

Yep. This started big time right after Trump won. I noticed a huge downturn in the amount of replies I got from libs when I trolled them. Especially on tweets that had been retweeted many times that had a lot of replies.

"https://gab.ai is the free speech alternative to twitter."

Does Trump post all his Twitter posts on Gab as well?

Isn't Alwaleed in jail now? Read somewhere the new crown prince tried to get him to agree to give up some of his fortune for his life and he refused to give the money up and they moved him from nice hotel to dingy prison.

Read rumors that there was an assassination attempt on the Crown Prince and Alwaleed was evidently involved.

Who says SA is boring.

It is entirely possible to create a browser plugin that would alter the way that Twitter works for the user.

They are playing with fire.... a distributed system that changed the way Twitter works could not be defeated by Twitter.

You could even pass data through the TOR network...

It would not be possible to detect who was using the plugin.

Simple code to create, mostly just elementary text parsing and search-engine code.

They would need to ban all search-engine spiders from Twitter to hide data....and even then there would be work-a rounds.

It would be like trying to keep the ocean away from the beach.

They cannot keep simple code like ad block plus from altering the way their sites work...and that is with a great deal of money at stake.

Easy to round up the talent to create such a system...just go fish for talent on Reddit and the chans.

No, he does not...

But an enterprising soul could write a bit of code that would mirror all his posts to a gab.ai account.

Very, very easy to do something like that.

Just have the program watch for Trump posts on Twitter and quickly parse the post and place it on the gab.ai account.

One could do the same with thousands of twitter users feeds...mirror them all to gab.ai accounts... where they would become safe from shadowbanning and other such nonsense.

I can understand how Crown Prince bin Salman can seize alwaleed's cash and bank accounts. But I'm not clear on how he can seize dopey alwaleed's shares in Twitter and other companies.

Perhaps Salman can seize alwaleed's brokerage accounts.

As for SA being boring, I bet hollowood producers are interested in making a film/tv show based on the conspiracy theory that the vegas shooting was alwaleed's botched assassintion attempt against Salman.

If our President posted to Gab, they would have an exponential increase in accounts.

The founder of Gab is a conservative who was sick of the bias.

Perhaps we need to email (in case Twitter censors private messages too) and Twitter message our President and ask him to open a Gab account. I know I am going to do that :)

That’s right. I had totally forgotten about that. I’m surprised it hasn’t been a more prominent story.

Talal has deep ties to Obama too. Didn't he basically buy him his ticket to Harvard? link to an old free republic thread on the subject.
