Elon Musk Reveals Twitter LIED About Shadow Bans

The second installment of the long-awaited Twitter FIles has been released, and this time around the majority pertains to Twitter’s direct hand in censoring right-wing Twitter users throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and during the 2020 Presidental election.

This assisted left-wing hashtags and other forms of propaganda to be put in front of Twitter users’ eyes almost exclusively. Democrats and left-wing political accounts have rarely been banned or had fact-checks placed on their posts. Meanwhile, counter-narrative posts from right-wing Twitter accounts would be frequently banned, suspended, or were fact-checked by a company that typically falls left-wing, such as Snopes.

Twitter users have also noticed that major news sources such as NBC, ABC and CBS are all refusing the cover the story.

  1. One thing that bothers me in all articles about Elon Musk; he was a Democrat for most of his life, like me; JFK would not agree with their current programs. He was a progressive who gambled with his money and he recognized that the current twitters had opinions but no invested interest. Spending 44B to lose 1B per year is not a viable solution so he took action. No ‘freaking experts’ with big mouths and small brains 🧠 talk about this. He wants to turn this company into a viable entity

  2. Who is right in Orwellian system called “liberal democracy”? Well, the one who has a bigger bullhorn in his/her hand and can gag opponents more effectively applying totalitarianism dressed in judges’ gowns (first amendment became long time fiction). Once upon a time, opinion censorship was the domain of the likes of Hitlers and Stalin, but now the followers of despotism in the west are quickly learning how to “be right” from their friend Putin. Usually, such luxuries like enforcing censorship can be afforded by multi-billionaires such as Soros, Bezos, Bloomberg or Zuckerberg, but when Elon Musk accidentally released a bird called Twitter from the cage, we heard from the “usual suspects” shout that acceptance of Freedom of Expression is a threat to … democracy”.
