Donald Trump Jr uncancelled by Twitter as Hillary Clinton's follower count slumps after Elon Musk's takeover, Nigel Farage claims
GB News ^ | 04/27/2022 | Alden-Jay Wood

Nigel Farage has claimed that Donald Trump Jr has been uncancelled by Twitter, just over a day after Elon Musk clinched a deal to take over the social media firm.

Nigel told GB News that he suspects Twitter has “changed its algorithm” before Mr Musk takes over the company.

The Tesla CEO has said he hopes to make Twitter the world's "digital town square" by allowing more freedom of speech.

And Nigel believes this process has already started.

He said: “I had a phone conversation at 8 o’clock this morning with a quite prominent and controversial Brexiteer who overnight had his account on Twitter unsuspended.

“Yes he’s been suspended for months, he didn’t even know why.

“And today in America, quite dramatic actually, Donald Trump Jr, Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan have had big increases in their followers, and I think that’s because people have become uncancelled.

“Most of them were cancelled for daring to question the election result on November 3, 2020, in America.

“But on the other side of the coin, Hillary Clinton has lost 18,000 followers today, Kamala Harris has lost 22,000 followers today and if you go through CNN presenters they have all lost large numbers.”

America is going to need its own style of “de-nazification” and “truth commission” along the lines of what we have seen in other countries trying to overcome corrupt, one-party ideological systems.

It’s called repealing the 17th Amendment

I can understand follower growth happening for conservatives who are "uncancelled" but how does that negatively affect the followers of the marxist/socialists?

Not that I don't mind seeing that trend but don't understand how Hillary Clinton's follower count slumps just because those of Donald Trump Jr is growing. This is not a zero sum game. You don't have to unfollow one to follow the other.

I gauged the situation with James Woods as he tweeted he gained 73K followers in 2 days time. It was obvious the IT guys were either screwing with the algorithms intentionally or the moderator squads all quit.

Not that he’s “there” - he had not been banned - it was the fake follower numbers now being exposed.

Might have something to do with another issue - the 1.9 million fake accounts twit admitted to.

Hillary lost 18,000 bots who were created to create the illusion that she had more followers than she actually had.

I bet when they cancelled large numbers of Trump types they created phony rat users so the numbers would not drop. ADVERTISER AND INVESTOR FRAUD. Musk should offer bonuses and immunity to the first ones that come forward with the details.

Undoubtedly, many Hillary followers are terminating their own Twitter accounts, but the primary explanation is that Twitter employees are closing fake accounts that they created to boost the reported numbers of democrat followers before new management takes over.

Very likely. All those twitter storms that had companies kneeling in apology were largely bot attacks. Too bad so many companies take that crap seriously.

Twitter is eliminating the Bot farms, those bots tweet out support of a statement and the sheep follow.

The phrase: “Twitter Hostile Takeover” sound beautiful.

It will be a landmark in American history.

It's all a Potemkin illusion to make it appear that these people are popular.

They are not, and they have to have fake bot followers just to create the appearance that they are.
