Documents show how Twitter shadow banned users
(by Christina Maas | Reclaim The Net) – Journalist Bari Weiss has released the second batch of “Twitter Files,” which she titled “Twitter’s Secret Blacklists.” The files revealed how Twitter filtered visibility of accounts and content from users.
Weiss wrote 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.”
“Twitter once had a mission ‘to give everyone the power to create and share ideas and information instantly, without barriers,’ Weiss wrote. “Along the way, barriers nevertheless were erected.”
Stanford’s Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, who said that lockdowns ultimately harm the development of children, was “secretly” put on a “Trends Blacklist.”
Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist and commentator, and conservative podcast host Dan Bongino were also shadow banned.
