“Search Blacklist”
A “search blacklist” is, in essence, a shadow ban. Although the account is still active and the owner can still Tweet, other users are unable to seach for the Twitter user. Dan Bongino, conservative commentator, radio show host, author, and former Secret Service agent was placed on one of these “search blacklist[s]”. He is the host of the daily political podcast “The Dan Bongino Show” and a regular contributor to conservative media outlets such as Fox News. Bongino is known for his strong support of President Donald Trump and his opposition to liberal policies and politicians. He has also written several books, including “The Fight: A Secret Service Agent’s Inside Account of Security Failings and the Political Machine” and “Spygate: The Attempted Sabotage of Donald J. Trump.”

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
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”.
