The Twitter Files

Elon Musk Unveils Twitter Censorship Machine in 2020

At 6:44pm last night, Elon Musk ,via journalist Matt Taibbi, released the long awaited Twitter Files and what drove former Twitter executives to suppress the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story in the weeks leading up to the 2020 presidential election. It changed the course of the election.

Taibbi said “The Twitter Files” tell an “incredible story” about how one of the world’s largest and most influential social media platforms used its powerful tools to delete tweets at the request of “connected actors” such as the Democrat Party.

Twitter’s censorship system was well established by 2020, an election year, and while both sides of U.S. politics had access, the political bias of the majority of the platform’s employees meant Democrats had more avenues to “complain” about tweets, according to Taibbi.

“For instance, in 2020, requests from both the Trump White House and the Biden campaign were received and honored,” Taibbi wrote. It started with simple manipulation of speech but eventually lead to outright censorship and locking accounts, even Kayleigh McEnany, Trump's Press Secretary all for the protection of Joe Biden. The majority of the employees were Democrats.
