“As to the suppression of any search results about additional committee staff, Twitter said “no, we don’t do this,” but that “if it is related to QAnon it should already be deamplified.” To the ask for Twitter to “stop the spread of misinformation,” Twitter said “no, we don’t have a general misinformation policy,” and as to the reduction of visibility, they said “no, we don’t do this”

Creepy totalitarians.

I hope Representative Schitt (D-Sewer) reaps what he has been sowing.

They sure are.

Qanon also had posted very disturbing rumors about Schiff.

Interesting story here of Adam Schiff secretly asking Twitter to “deamplify” that psyop designed to fool conservatives.

That one psyop DJT is always drawing attention to.

"The ask" is Schitt's office asking Twitter to censor Sperry.

"Sharing the ask" is Taibbi putting the info out there, most likely the actual email or text message from the Schittweasel's people..

“Ask” = “Request.”

It’s just libs trying to be “cool” with jargon. Like always.

I had to look up who Paul Sperry was.
I found a couple of old video's on him on youtube.
How does Schiff know about Sperry?

It was noted on a pro-American site that the fact that Q-Anon needed to be banned by the Democrats shows that Q was not a Democrat plant.

Sharing the ask is like making an offer they cannot refuse.

When Schiffless says it’s a lie it may not be literally true but since he’s a liar and the truth isn’t in him the odds are there s something somewhere in there that is true that he is upset about.

Since Schiff did this using his power as a government employee then major lawsuits need to be filed against him by all injured parties. And criminal charges as well.
