OKeefes remarks on Twitter came during a SiriusXM Breitbart News Tonight interview with Breitbart Newss Senior Editors-at-Large Rebecca Mansour and Joel Pollak.
Censorial algorithms at Twitter, said OKeefe, associate certain terms and sentiments with automated behaviors in an ostensible effort to silence bots across the platform: [Twitter has] an algorithm that finds correlative words associated with people like the Breitbart audience. So if you post about guns, if you like the American flag, if you use the word America, if you are a self-described redneck, they actually target these people. These are not racists, or white supremacists, or Nazis these are just moderate conservative ideas.

Lucky for Jack that “profit” is NOT in their business model.
Hard to make a Harvard Business School white paper supporting the economic demand for propaganda and censorship. /s
Apparently twitter has kept all underage photos (you can join twitter at age 13) of sexting.
They keep everything. Nothing is ever removed.
It would not surprise me if reality was they kept what you stated too.
Had my Twitter account locked a couple days ago, after a few [reasonable conservative] posts - nothing objectionable, just fitting with the apparently & admitted automatic categorization of “redneck”. Since a Twitter engineer admitted they don’t believe “rednecks” actually exist, I was subjected to about 5 minutes of “prove you’re not an AI/bot” before it let me back on. Seriously, nothing I posted could have been construed as “offensive”, just indicative of a southern/right-wing viewpoint, yet suddenly I had to prove I’m human.
C’mon Sessions!
Charge Twitter under RICO and seize the company under the asset forfeiture rules.
Then make whispers about Google.
We need to be careful... democrats are totalitarians. If they get control they’ll do what they can to harm us... Twitter is only a small part of who they are...

Profit?
It is all about the agenda. It does include money and power.
I’m worried that the public’s reaction to the Twitter/Facebook social engineering might lead to property damage or front lawn protests...
smile.
Not likely.
Especially from the conservative elements that have been targeted.
But when the Leftist take this far enough? Who knows.
When they get total control, they will murder us.
They already have that. The next goal is their totalitarian agenda.
Re: Murder
They would have already. They just can’t get away with it....(Yet).
That is not an exaggeration. Imagine the proscriptions today if Hillary won!
Agree.
Can you say, Newspeak? I knew you could.Double plus ungood.
Straight out of 1984.
History has lessons for what happens to innocents living under delusional totalitarians... and yes, it could happen here.
