Tweets just starting now and will probably be a slow trickle like the first thread
Lowlights (until I stop caring or get too drunk, whichever cums first)
3. Take, for example, Stanford’s Dr. Jay Bhattacharya who argued that Covid lockdowns would harm children. Twitter secretly placed him on a “Trends Blacklist,” which prevented his tweets from trending. (link has screenshot)
4. Or consider the popular right-wing talk show host, Dan Bongino who at one point was slapped with a “Search Blacklist.” (link has screenshot)
5. Twitter set the account of conservative activist Charlie Kirk to “Do Not Amplify.” (link has screenshot)
13&14. But there existed a level beyond official ticketing, beyond the rank-and-file moderators following the company’s policy on paper. That is the “Site Integrity Policy, Policy Escalation Support,” known as “SIP-PES.” | This secret group included Head of Legal, Policy, and Trust (Vijaya Gadde), the Global Head of Trust & Safety (Yoel Roth), subsequent CEOs Jack Dorsey and Parag Agrawal, and others.
16. One of the accounts that rose to this level of scrutiny was @libsoftiktok an account that was on the “Trends Blacklist” and was designated as “Do Not Take Action on User Without Consulting With SIP-PES.” (link has SS)
19. But in an internal SIP-PES memo from October 2022, after her seventh suspension, the committee acknowledged that “LTT has not directly engaged in behavior violative of the Hateful Conduct policy." See here:
22. When Raichik(@libsoftiktok) told Twitter that her address had been disseminated she says Twitter Support responded with this message: "We reviewed the reported content, and didn't find it to be in violation of the Twitter rules." No action was taken. The doxxing tweet is still up.
tldr Shadowbanning isn't shadowbanning if you call it something else r-slurs.
LibsofTikTok was so powerful that actions could only be taken by a secret team involving the CEO and other higher-ups Admit she didn't do nuffin, suspended her anyways and then did nothing when she herself was doxxed and threatened.
Life Lessons: Twitter threads are a shit way to drop hot "bombshells" since they're so fricking slow and you get drunk half-way through. Also conservatards are going to be crying and since they're deregulated( they got hard reading that word) now (on Twitter) you'll see them a lot more (on Twitter)

Government agencies sending lists of tweets and topics to be removed = gov censorship
Twitter selectively silencing entire topics and accounts for the public good = not censorship

One is gov censorship, one is censorship by a private company. Both are forms of censorship. Where did redditors ever get the r-slured idea from that censorship is something only the government can do?

the only thing that determines if it is censorship or not is:

I mean this isnt even peer reviewed and there was an actual peer reviewed study that confirm twitter censors more liberal content than conservative content, so i would suggest that you trust the science.
it’s settled already

I've been posting these threads to a 4 month old Facebook slap fight I got into about Big Tech doing this. I'm 99% sure FB just isn't sending the person notifications since he's the type to respond and he hasn't. Ironic.

There are multiple cases where Twitter publicly denied it and people believed it, called everyone a conspiracy theorist
Seeing how it was done is very valuable to society.
Just saying “duh it happens” and moving on is how it stays happening. Tech companies are paying attention.

Literally what lol? Conservative schizos def got shadow banned. When was this ever denied?

Twitter literally released their own research - which all the libs siezed as though it was written by god himself - saying that their platform more widely disseminated conservative points of view, if you recall.

It does lmao. Only the most schizo of cons got shadow banned.
According to research from multiple sources conservatives dominate social media. A select few r-slurs being shadow banned does not change this.

I'm not going to argue with you about this because while I'm sure you have sources, I just don't believe them. I don't believe that unbiased research has taken place on the subject and that without knowing behind the scenes what is being suppressed you can't know what would/wouldn't have trended without human intervention.
Saying something as simple as 'conservatives dominate social media' isn't also much of a defence - what does that even mean? Does it mean in terms of tweets produced/written or in terms of views/impressions? It would be easy to downregulate the dissemination of conservative material - so it never reaches any eyeballs - yet still disingenuously claim that a majority of content on the platform is conservative, for example.
What matters is the proof that there was significant human intervention in deciding what would and wouldn't 'trend' on a platform that people believed was purely algorithmic, i.e. that if something was 'trending' on twitter people believed that's it was genuinely popular, not that it had been selected to trend. That's the issue.
People know that when they pick up a newspaper they're getting a curated viewpoint on the world. Twitter was meant to not be that. This is proving that it was as curated as any newspaper. That's a big deal.

If it's the one that's 'conservative ideas are communicated with soundbites, liberal ideas take a whiteboard' then I've seen it about thirty years ago in the form of a usenet post.
I like how you didn't rebut any of the points I made. Let me make them again to irritate you:

Literally everyone knew especially bad schizos were supressed. This is not new information.
Someone very specifically claimed this somehow refuted my point that cons dominate social media.
