Twitter Censors All Content From The Epoch Times
Epoch Times ^ | 7/29/22

Posted on 07/30/2022 10:22:58 AM PDT by Pollard

Twitter on July 28 imposed a blockade on all content from The Epoch Times without explanation, raising further concerns about freedom of speech on the platform and drawing ire from three U.S. senators.

The platform enforced a warning on all links from The Epoch Times. A click on a link directs users to a page titled “Warning: this link may be unsafe,” which prompts users to return to the previous page.

“The link you are trying to access has been identified by Twitter or our partners as being potentially spammy or unsafe,” the warning stated, citing Twitter’s URL policy.

Someone big is behind all of the censorship. Has to be primarily China. Epoch Times is run by some Chinese folks.

Twitter needs to smell more like musk and less like s**t.

“ Times is run by some Chinese folks.”

Taiwanese; I believe. Epoch Times reports too much actual news and the comments seem to come from well-informed people who actually read the article. Twitter is not interested in anything that refutes the left’s narrative.

And today the report is Fox has banned President Trump

We have censorship on a massive scale

All we’re permitted to see or hear had to be far leftist commie-nazi propaganda lies.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day be day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except the endless present in which the party is always right.”. Orwell

They are Falun Gong/Falun Dafa. I was reading them occasionally years before they ever got any recognition on Free Republic, when they distributed their paper for free.

It was quite clear, although never stated, that they were tied to Falun Gong, because of all the articles they wrote about Chinese oppression of Falun Gong, even though they were written as if the paper was a disinterested outside observer.

ET tries to get actual real news to the Chinese which is hard due to CCP info controls so they make sure to get news into places where Chinese people might travel fairly often, Taiwan, Hong Kong etc.

The mask came off Fox quite some time ago. Just another media shill for open-borders globalism. The Murdoch family is all in on the New World Order.
It’s a shame. They keep a few (very few) conservatives there simply for the ratings.
Let’s call the election for Arizona! What a travesty.

Does twitter do the bidding of the deep state ? My guess is that it does and it’s why Elon will never actually buy the site

How long will Twitter last before it finally collapses?
Their finances have been terrible for a long time, and the far better Truth Social is snapping at their heels.
Mind you, Truth is only available in the US and the UK so far, and they haven't even brought out an Android app yet and they are still rocking.
