Twitter's planned October surprise is here. With mere weeks to go before Americans head to the polls, the social media company unveiled new speech codes further editorializing content on their platform to interfere in U.S. elections.
Under the guise of stopping whatever it declares to be "misinformation," Twitter announced on Friday that the tech giant is implementing temporary speech codes that will last until Americans cast their ballots. Starting Oct. 20, users will be required to add comments before being allowed to retweet posts (speech). The goal of the new speech codes is to slow the spread of certain speech before election day.
The liberal company also says that it will remove speech recommended by people who users don't follow. Users will only see such recommendations under the "for you" tab and only when additional "context" has been provided. Twitter will also add labels and warnings to whatever speech it deems misleading.
"Twitter has a critical role to play in protecting the integrity of the election conversation, and we encourage candidates, campaigns, news outlets and voters to use Twitter respectfully and to recognize our collective responsibility to the electorate to guarantee a safe, fair and legitimate democratic process this November," reads a blog post by company executives announcing the new restrictions.

No interference going on at perler.
Twitter needs to be destroyed.
They’re commies, Jim.

Prince Harry and Megan Markle are using foreign titles to campaign against President Trump and interfere with our election. Today, I asked the British Government to put a stop to it.

Oh my. A blog post. That's surely serious.
If Twit keeps this up, pretty soon it will just be nothing but progs screaming at each other.

Are they going to apply to Keith Olbermann?
Olbersturmfuhrermann and @jack can share the same stout tree branch...
Reagan said it best.. Trust but verify. If you read anything and refuse to do your own homework and verify it then it’s no one’s fault but your own.
If Twitter is so important to election integrity and preventing “foreign interference”, the Commander in Chief should declare it critical psychological war materiel and seize it.
If Twitter is so important to election integrity, then the hacking of Scully’s account shows that Twitter is an election-integrity risk! It should therefore be shut down. Our democracy is at stake.
Excellent point.
Twitter investigation should be started November 4th 2020
