Independent journalist Bari Weiss revealed on Thursday how Twitter used blacklists to limit the visibility of tweets coming from conservative users in the latest disclosure of the social media giant’s internal operations.

Right-wing talk show host Dan Bongino, Stanford University’s anti-COVID lockdown advocate Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, and conservative activist Charlie Kirk were among the users targeted for suppression by Twitter, according to Weiss.

Weiss’s tweets followed Friday’s bombshell revelations by fellow independent journalist Matt Taibbi, whose Twitter posts were promoted by new company owner Elon Musk as “what really happened with the Hunter Biden suppression story by Twitter.”

.
My mind goes to all the others that did the same:

Facebook
GoFundMe
Wikipedia
YouTube
Comment section of every major Newspaper in the Country.
NPR

An NFL Coach - Jack Del Rio - couldn’t state his opinion of Jan 6th! He was fined what over 100k - and Mike Tomlin and arrested Washington Redskin we’re having Fundraisers for Obama / Biden. A Redskin player was a bundler, as is Tomlin.

This is widespread, schools to Town Council meetings - and message boards.

I write a note to the authors objecting to the term “far right” in reference to several people who simply told the truth. I asked if telling the truth is “far right” then what are you guys? Conservatives cannot allow this name calling to continue!

Yep. I got the treatment over time.

Since Elon Bought Twitter my impression counts have more than doubled.

There was a time when I had 350,000-450,000 impressions per month.

Recently it got down to 20,000. since Musk acquiring it, it has climbed back to over 50,000 impressions.

It’s good to know that our tax money goes to administration personnel salaries to meet with corrupt media every week to shut down dissenting views....

They probably take it out of the covid surplus funds, lolol!!
