BREAKING: Elon Musk confirms US political candidates were blacklisted while running for office
The Post Millennial ^ | December 9, 2022 | Good Question

Elon Musk confirmed early Friday morning that under previous leadership at Twitter, political candidates were blacklisted, prevented from having their content amplified on the platform. Twitter executives testified before Congress in 2018 and said unequivocally that they did not engage in this kind of suppression.

This admission from Musk comes after Bari Weiss dropped the second batch of Twitter Files, which revealed that "teams of Twitter employees" did build blacklists, which they used to stifle those users whose content they did not want to see trending or amplified on Twitter. Weiss did not list political candidates among those who she said were shadow banned, but the list is not complete.

Lied to Congress. Now there’s a nice process crime. Lock them up in the DC Gulag for two years awaiting trial … no bail, solitary, no sunlight. Maybe they will hang themselves.

When I saw Dorsey before Congress he honestly looked as though he was completely drugged out, I think Dorsey had a serious bout with drugs and lost control of what the hell was going on in his company!! When he was testifying before Congress it was on ZOOM but the guy looked like a junky completely out of it!!

Problem is, they “won”. So there is no one to press charges.

It’s like North Korea. It has an amazing, libertarian, constitution— all enforced by a fat impotent little troll who does what he wants.

It’s the same thing.

Have we seen any specific list of names as to who was blacklisted?

I looked in the article, I did not see it. If I missed it that’s my fault.

I’d like to see someone name names, who got blacklisted.

The Beltway masters call that “quality control of candidates “ measures, a response to Trump defeating Hillary in 2016.

None of this is being revealed in the mainstream media. And so the brain-dead public remains ignorant.
