- Bari Weiss thread:
“A new #TwitterFiles investigation reveals that teams of Twitter employees build blacklists, prevent disfavored tweets from trending, and actively limit the visibility of entire accounts or even trending topics—all in secret, without informing users.”
- Examples include Trends Blacklist (example victim: Dr Jay Bhattacharya), Search Blacklist (e.g. Dan Bongino) and Do Not Amplify (Charlie Kirk)
- Yet Twitter's new owner, Elon Musk, has already stated (18 November):
“New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach.
Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter.
You won’t find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from rest of Internet.”
- Mike Robinson question: How is Elon Musk’s Twitter any different from previous Twitter, then?
