[It's Ogre] THREAD: THE TWITTER FILES PART TWO. TWITTER’S SECRET BLACKLISTS.

https://twitter.com/bariweiss/status/1601007575633305600

:#parrothmm:

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 :marseyemojirofl: 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)

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.

We're not talking about that simply suppressing weirdos, we're talking about choices being made to influence both what did trend as well as what didn't, and not 'especially bad schizos' but more moderate and mainstream disagreement.

One of the Arab Spring revolutions started because a picture/video of a fruitseller setting themselves on fire 'trended' on Twitter, from what I recall. It's a big fricking deal if it turns out that 'trends' were in fact picked-and-chosen by staff. One might ask oneself what would have trended otherwise if no influence was exerted. How many lives were lost because the twitter execs thought they were doing a good thing by 'amplifying' that content?
