    Twitter's old days and ways. Will it get better? lol it's Musk, who the hell knows. It was biased before, that's for sure. Isn't musk a yuge dept of def contractor?
    Anyhoo, below are some thoughts on the twitter files that demonstrate how the former twitter regime dealt with vital topics at strategic times, e.g. Hunter Biden's laptop "debunking' by twitter's regime before Poopy got in office. Do you folks wonder if that may have had some ramifications that we will live with for a long long time?
    Do you folks have any views on this at all?

    38:18 Part 3 J6
    48:04 Part 4 DJT
    52:07 Part 5 DJT ban



    Given that you are running for president, what's your take on this vid?

  3. Go back and look at some sample size and see whether I deliberately typed Bab Bee at the beginning.

    Take some responsibility for getting a clue from that.

    Some people are just coming up with whiney little reasons to exclude conservative material. If you see post you don't like just skip over it.

    Also, I have Cuddles blocked so he only sees my posts because he logs out to read as a visitor. So, don't do that. I solved his problem by putting him on block,

    Former NYT columnist Bari Weiss releases ‘Twitter Files Part Two’
    by Julia Shapero - 12/08/22 9:47 PM ET

    Former New York Times columnist Bari Weiss released the second installment of the “Twitter
    Files” on Thursday night, sharing images of accounts that Twitter allegedly placed on various
    types of “blacklists.

    Weiss posted several images of what appears to be an internal Twitter system that marked
    certain accounts as being under various kinds of “blacklists,” in addition to flagging other
    information about the accounts.

    Jay Bhattacharya, a health policy professor from Stanford University who opposed COVID-19
    lockdowns, appeared to have been placed on a “Trends Blacklist,” as was the right-wing Libs of
    TikTok account, according to the photos.

    The account of conservative commentator Dan Bongino was apparently placed on a “Search
    Blacklist,”
    while the photos seemed to show Turning Point USA President Charlie Kirk had his
    account marked as “Do Not Amplify.”

    The images also appeared to show that several of the accounts had been flagged with “Recent
    Abuse Strike” and that more basic information, such as when the accounts were “Twitter Blue
    Verified” or “High Profile,” had also been noted.

    Weiss also shared purported screenshots of internal messages from Yoel Roth, Twitter’s former
    head of safety and integrity, including one in which he appeared to ask for research on “non-
    removal policy interventions like disabling engagements and deamplification/visibility filtering.”

    Weiss’s Twitter thread is the second installment in what Twitter CEO Elon Musk has dubbed the
    “Twitter Files.” The first installment, released by independent journalist Matt Taibbi, appeared
    to show an internal debate at the social media company over how to handle a New York Post
    story about Hunter Biden.

    You're bringing nothing here. You know that, right?
    Do you even read these weak sauce hit-pieces or are you just a hit-piece pimp, lol.
    so we await your response to the second asking of the question...
    Freddy, what's your position on "doxxing"?

  10. Didn't bother to read the piece, did you?

    ...The disabling of Lorenz’s account — in this case apparently based on allegations of “doxxing” unrelated to anything currently posted by Lorenz’s Twitter account — makes it appear that Musk, who has called himself a “free speech absolutist,” is now waging a campaign to keep information and commentary critical of him off the platform he bought for $44 billion.

    In the Substack post, Lorenz said there were only three tweets live on her Twitter account when it was banned: two that promoted her profiles on TikTok and Instagram, and a third asking Musk for comment on a story involving Musk that she and WaPo colleague Drew Harwell (whose account was banned and then unbanned) have been working on.

    At least two journalists Twitter banned and then unbanned this week, Aaron Rupar and Tony Webster, denied they posted any information that could be construed as “doxxing,” which refers to sharing someone’s private information online without their permission. “This is not the free speech we were promised,” Webster tweeted Friday night. “To be clear, there was no ‘doxing’ — even if an impulsive, accountable-to-nobody oligarch said so.”




    Nice try, though.
