According to the avalanche of posts by reporters Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss, and writer Michael Shellenberger, to whom new Twitter owner and CEO Elon Musk provided access to internal communications, Twitter massively "shadow-banned," restricted and even flat-out blocked access to conservatives and conservative content.
So, how does the anti-Donald Trump and the anti-conservative Left ignore and even justify this nefarious practice? How do they completely ignore real "election interference" and this blatant attack to manipulate information to alter what we read, how we think and how we vote?
One defender wrote: "So it's just occurring to so called conservative 'intellectuals' that private companies have internal memos discussing business practices. Amazing."
The same leftists who dismiss the Twitter expose on the grounds that "it's a private company" see no problem using government to compel a private company to provide health insurance, minimum wage, racial diversity and sensitivity training, paid medical and family leave or to require at least one female on its Board of Directors (a California law that was struck down as unconstitutional promptly followed by California Gov. Gavin Newsom signing another bill

It's one thing to suppress conservative content and conservatives, it's another not to tell them -- and it's another level of evil to deny that they do it. Fox News writes: "CEO Jack Dorsey and top Twitter employees, as well as members of the liberal media, have repeatedly claimed over the years that the social media company did not 'shadow ban' users or secretly censor conservative accounts.
"Yet, the second installment of the 'Twitter Files' released Thursday (Dec. 8) revealed a comprehensive system and internal communications in which the social media site created SECRET (emphasis added) 'blacklists' that applied to certain users and tweets, many of which leaned right politically."

The left argues that a private company can censor content on their site, but they cry foul when Elon buys the company and exposes what they were doing by releasing the communication of what is now HIS private company.
The whole “private company” thing falls apart as soon as FBI and DNC involvement is exposed. This was censorship by the government in violation of the First Amendment. They were rigging an election. Not OK.
Why isn’t Dorsey being charged with perjury?
Conservative content is all White Supremacist disinformation,designed to trigger commies and leftists.
Waaaahaaaaaaaa!
Stop triggering us commies to think about fact instead of Utopia!
Two tiered justice system. If he had censored leftists and lied about it, he would be in the J6 prison with no bail and no trial date in sight.
Another important point is when you lie to your customers, you are committing fraud.
Twitter committed fraud by saying one thing and doing another.
Call it interference or a government sponsored coup, there was no way Trump was going to win a second term. We are still being fed propaganda every day to try and damage the image of Trump.
Under Trump we would not be in a war or have our manufacturing base threatened by the EV.
Because you dont wanna be offended is NOT justification. It just means you are a pussy.
Private companies can do what they want...
Here’s what we learned: Democrats are liars. They’re easy tools of thugs in ‘intelligence’ (who are also liars) and they’re just as easy to be played by foresight enemies who want to destroy our country.
No one’s protecting our country for the sake of the Americans who live here. Washington filth and the liars who run their tech companies fall over each other seeing who can sell out the country first. Democrats want the country to be a hellhole.
If anyone is gonna hang himself it will be this guy.
A-#1-Wierdo!
Why isn’t the FIB being charged with violating the First Amendment?
