The Government Colluded with Twitter to Censor

My read is twitter had a moderation policy biased against lies and deza. It wasnt perfect. Sometimes they made calls that they would like to take back.

I also make the observation that if people who hold a particular ideology have a predilection for lies and deza then moderation that targets lies and deza will have the effect of discriminating against partisans of that ideology.

But many of those "lies and deza" that they buried, turned out to be true, or at the very least, could not be proven false. And it absolutely was information that could have influenced elections.

Look I think Qnon believers are **** crazy. But they have the right to be ape **** crazy. And they have the right express those beliefs publicly without being censored.

TO be fair, all that twitter was pushing were things coming from the Trump government. So it seems like you could easily pretzel logic yourself into that

THat being said, Twitter is a minnow. Twitter is something like the 6th most used social media platform in America. Behind Snapchat, TikTok, INstagram, Youtube and Facebook. Twitter is much closer to LinkedIn than it is to Facebook or Instagram. Reddit is about as pervasive in the average AMerican's social media usage as Twitter. You're much more likely to find someone pushing an agenda (and doing it more successfully) on Meta's watch than Twitters.

Twitter is overhyped on it's reach because of who the original twitter users were, Journalists. IT was a way to break stories quickly. Back in the day I got twitter and logged in for 1 day , MLB trade deadline. I switched to twitter when Facebook became too insane for me. ANd I'll leave twitter when it fails me too or the people I follow there leave.

Key word being most. Journalist and news stations are generally first to break news. And Twitter is generally where you find people following journalist the most and where journalist are most active.

Don’t forget the opposite. Obvious falsehoods that were amplified as truths. In my opinion that is even more damaging and shaped more elections around the world.

Been saying it for years. Anything that will make a parent mutilate their children needs to be fought and destroyed with every ounce of our being. So many of you have been infected and I hope that there is still hope for recovery.

Ah the good olde days when Julio thought I was an idiot for suggesting there was extreme bias in the FBI against conservatives.

I was trying to figure out why Musk is harping about Fauci
when the last of the covid restrictions in the US have been gone
for over a year. I think CA forced Tesla to shut down for a while
in summer 2020 - my best guess is that he's still sore about that
