Twitter Platform Actively Blacklisted Certain Users, Topics

Conservative viewpoints, voices suppressed

Twitter CEO Elon Musk released several new batches of internal documents, detailing how senior Twitter executives created secret “blacklists” to “de-amplify” certain users, tweets, and topics. The new “Twitter Files” also provided fresh insight on the decisions that led up to then-President Donald Trump being banned from Twitter last year.

The information was released to several journalists, who posted the information in lengthy tweet threads.

Weiss revealed the company’s secret moderation group, the “Site Integrity Policy, Policy Escalation Support” (SIP-PES), which consisted of high-profile Twitter employees. SIP-PES included Vijaya Gadde, Twitter’s Head of Legal, Policy, and Trust; Yoel Roth, Twitter’s Global Head of Trust & Safety; CEOs Jack Dorsey and Parag Agrawal; and others.

This group made “the biggest, most politically sensitive decisions,” according to Weiss. Unlike the suppression of accounts with small followings, these decisions didn’t have a corresponding ticket.

They banned Trump, a sitting President, in spite of the fact that he had committed zero violations. I never liked Twitter as I thought those who used it were all left-wing nut jobs like Rob Reiner. Now we all know what was going on.

  1. I was suppressed here by the blogger posting about conservative voices being suppressed.

  2. Policy states this is Not a fair and balanced blog. It is a conservative blog. PERIOD, as creepy Biden would say.
    So, I'm not being hypocritical.
    It's too bad you can't read and comprehend policy. Boo hoo. :)

  3. So Twitter makes every user agree to their TOS before allowing them access to the platform. Every user agrees to it. When you violate the TOS by tweeting hate speech or by threatening someone or by amplifying lies or life threatening medical advice, Twitter enforces its TOS and suspends you or asks you to delete the tweet in order to regain access.

    It's not hard to understand.

    Actually, it's not much different than your blog rules that you bury way, way down at the bottom of the right column of your blog. Anyone violates those rules, they're censored, right?

    So why do you find one policy wrong and the other policy right? Because when it's being applied to people who don't think like you, it's okay. Your position is that rules don't apply to Republicans like they do Democrats.

    It's fascism defined. And it's what MAGA represents.

  4. @7:30...Yes, charging Republicans as "fascists" is the latest buzz word from Democrats. Laughable really.

    Democrats are positive towards Socialism. Socialism, Communism, Fascism, and Nazism are “quasi-siblings.” Currently, if the Democrats are not Socialists, they are rapidly moving towards that political ideology, and are flirting with fascism, potentially even Nazism. In short, I believe the evidence supports the statement--

    Democrats are the true Fascists.

    You have the choice here...don't read this blog or start your own Democrat Fascist blog.

  5. You're like a robot, Lynn. Someone could ask you what time it is and you would say, "Democrats are socialist! And fascists. And go start your own blog."

    And you're unable to think for yourself. You actually cut and paste part of your above comment from the below GOP USA site.

    You're not going to print this because, holy cow, it's embarrassing but you and I both know how absolutely stupid a woman you are. Cutting and pasting your answers....how pitiful.

  6. @6:25. Actually, you should be embarrassed. You are so obsessed that you fact-check anything and everything even going so far as to provide links to left-wing fake news...And then condemn me for having conservative opinion on a conservative blog.
    It's hysterical.
    See a doctor or do something constructive in your life.
    Change political parties for a starter.
    Help save our country from the crazies.
    Admit it's going downhill. If you can't admit that, then you really do need some professional help. I can cut and paste some suggestions.

    I'm spreading the truth...sorry you can't stand that...Democrats, aka Communists, don't understand facts.

  8. As said, this is not Facebook. Really don't understand why you keep whining...just play by the rules. And who's "unintelligent?" Read the rules. Better yet, find a new hobby.

  9. There are tons of articles out there that quote verbatim from other articles. This is not unusual and in fact, it is normal. Lynn usually always has a link to the article. I think you protest too much and have embarrassed yourself anonymous at 6:25pm.

  10. Facebook is supposedly a platform for ALL PEOPLE.
    This Blog as not. This blog is a platform for Conservatives...the people and voices reduced and removed from Facebook, Twitter Past Tense, Google and the mainstream news media.

    This blog is a correction for what is wrong in Big Tech controlled medias... the voices and ideas of Progressives or Leftists would make this Blog "Less" of a value to the people that enjoy it.

    Don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out 8:28!
