TWITTER EXPOSES

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1598822959866683394

What you’re about to read is the first installment in a series, based upon thousands of internal documents obtained by sources at Twitter.

The “Twitter Files” tell an incredible story from inside one of the world’s largest and most influential social media platforms. It is a Frankensteinian tale of a human-built mechanism grown out the control of its designer.

4. Twitter in its conception was a brilliant tool for enabling instant mass communication, making a true real-time global conversation possible for the first time.


5. In an early conception, Twitter more than lived up to its mission statement, giving people “the power to create and share ideas and information instantly, without barriers.”


6. As time progressed, however, the company was slowly forced to add those barriers. Some of the first tools for controlling speech were designed to combat the likes of spam and financial fraudsters.



. Slowly, over time, Twitter staff and executives began to find more and more uses for these tools. Outsiders began petitioning the company to manipulate speech as well: first a little, then more often, then constantly.

8. By 2020, requests from connected actors to delete tweets were routine. One executive would write to another: “More to review from the Biden team.” The reply would come back: “Handled.”
----
9. Celebrities and unknowns alike could be removed or reviewed at the behest of a political party:

Matt is molasses in a freezer....
-----
10.Both parties had access to these tools. For instance, in 2020, requests from both the Trump White House and the Biden campaign were received and honored. However:


11. This system wasn't balanced. It was based on contacts. Because Twitter was and is overwhelmingly staffed by people of one political orientation, there were more channels, more ways to complain, open to the left (well, Democrats) than the right. https://opensecrets.org/orgs/twitter/s

12. The resulting slant in content moderation decisions is visible in the documents you’re about to read. However, it’s also the assessment of multiple current and former high-level executives.

Okay, there was more throat-clearing about the process, but screw it, let's jump forward

comedic interlude:  wait till U see the memes  LOL.

JUST GET TO THE PART ABOUT ALIENS



26. By this point “everyone knew this was fucked,” said one former employee, but the response was essentially to err on the side of… continuing to err.
27. Former VP of Global Comms Brandon Borrman asks, “Can we truthfully claim that this is part of the policy?”

28. To which former Deputy General Counsel Jim Baker again seems to advise staying the non-course, because “caution is warranted”:

29. A fundamental problem with tech companies and content moderation: many people in charge of speech know/care little about speech, and have to be told the basics by outsiders. To wit:


30. In one humorous exchange on day 1, Democratic congressman Ro Khanna reaches out to Gadde to gently suggest she hop on the phone to talk about the “backlash re speech.” Khanna was the only Democratic official I could find in the files who expressed concern.

31.Gadde replies quickly, immediately diving into the weeds of Twitter policy, unaware Khanna is more worried about the Bill of Rights:

32.Khanna tries to reroute the conversation to the First Amendment, mention of which is generally hard to find in the files:

33.Within a day, head of Public Policy Lauren Culbertson receives a ghastly letter/report from Carl Szabo of the research firm NetChoice, which had already polled 12 members of congress – 9 Rs and 3 Democrats, from “the House Judiciary Committee to Rep. Judy Chu’s office.”

34.NetChoice lets Twitter know a “blood bath” awaits in upcoming Hill hearings, with members saying it's a "tipping point," complaining tech has “grown so big that they can’t even regulate themselves, so government may need to intervene.”

35.Szabo reports to Twitter that some Hill figures are characterizing the laptop story as “tech’s Access Hollywood moment”:
36.Twitter files continued:

"THE FIRST AMENDMENT ISN’T ABSOLUTE”
Szabo’s letter contains chilling passages relaying Democratic lawmakers’ attitudes. They want “more” moderation, and as for the Bill of Rights, it's "not absolute"

An amazing subplot of the Twitter/Hunter Biden laptop affair was how much was done without the knowledge of CEO Jack Dorsey, and how long it took for the situation to get "unfucked" (as one ex-employee put it) even after Dorsey jumped in.

We've come to an unceremonious, unannounced STOP atm.

Ran across this on All News Pipeline - thought it was rather... 

...INTERESTING.

Notice the DATE on the Q drop. 4 year delta exact.

This happened everywhere but twitter cracks the egg.

I don't know about y'all but I'm seeing a wee bit of a pattern here.
Notice all the things that [they] lied about were subsequentially then labeled & dismissed as being 'conspiracy theories'?
This highly repetitive/false narrative was then amplified by the fake new media & leftist sycophants which appears to reveal an intentional strategy intended to hide the truth from the people.
rinse & repeat ad nauseam
Consistent patterns reveal truths be they evil, uncomfortable or otherwise.

Hat tip to Uncle Clif today. Dove already posted the first photo but Clif gives comment and link to article so I'm putting the full Clif capture up in two parts.

The 'top' 27 responses to Matt.

They amazingly prove the point, parroting one another.  Pretty dumb.

Looks like we will need another day or so

It's 11:11 on a drop 11 mins ago.   Take your time Elon. I'll call bedtime for me.
I just went to close out TruthSocial and SGA's file 29 has
111 retruths  and 1K likes.  
Goodness...
Wait !   File 29    2+9=11    bwahahahaha!!!!

I'll hunt down SGAnons #29 file tomorrow and listen as I'd really like to try and give SG a fair shake. No promises on the results on my end as I'm still pretty leery about the guy but I'm trying to keep an open mind too.

Best I can offer right now.

Thanks for posting that #29 is up.

IDK Researcher-

As I said, outing him would be a death sentence for q.  Now ask yourself-who would want to
do that?!?
"This isn't a game."

I pm'd U the link as I'd started a new thread for intel.  Room for Clif. 

SGA also did a roundtable with Derek Johnson, a vet, who is well schooled on the Law of War
manual.   SGA clearly had deeper knowledge, yet was very gracious about it all.
He loves humanity and really respects all the Patriots who work at this.

Elon did a my spaces Q&A last time.  Here it is

NEW


On Friday, the first installment of the Twitter files was published here. We expected to publish more over the weekend. Many wondered why there was a delay.


We can now tell you part of the reason why. On Tuesday, Twitter Deputy General Counsel (and former FBI General Counsel) Jim Baker was fired. Among the reasons? Vetting the first batch of “Twitter Files” – without knowledge of new management.



The process for producing the “Twitter Files” involved delivery to two journalists (Bari Weiss and me) via a lawyer close to new management. However, after the initial batch, things became complicated.



Over the weekend, while we both dealt with obstacles to new searches, it was
@BariWeiss
who discovered that the person in charge of releasing the files was someone named Jim. When she called to ask “Jim’s” last name, the answer came back: “Jim Baker.”



“My jaw hit the floor,” says Weiss.



The first batch of files both reporters received was marked, “Spectra Baker Emails.”



Baker is a controversial figure. He has been something of a Zelig of FBI controversies dating back to 2016, from the Steele Dossier to the Alfa-Server mess. He resigned in 2018 after an investigation into leaks to the press.



The news that Baker was reviewing the “Twitter files” surprised everyone involved, to say the least. New Twitter chief Elon Musk acted quickly to “exit” Baker Tuesday.



Reporters resumed searches through Twitter Files material – a lot of it – today. The next installment of “The Twitter Files” will appear @bariweiss  . Stay tuned.

It's up, so I'll get at it.  Grab you a link so you can go ahead of me if you want.

I have a family engagement that prevents me from real-time reporting this to you all
Each of you should be paying attention to these drops very closely.
They are not only malfeasance and oligarchic behavioral proofs (conduct, actions, etc.)
They are also real-time intelligence aggregates (think NSA and others) being shown to the world by the Pentagon’s largest civilian contractor.
Elon has them all, and it’s on display.

Elton John is the latest in a string of high-profile celebrities to leave Twitter as a result of changes in the platform since new owner Elon Musk took over.

Quote :

Dec. 9
John said he will stop using Twitter because Musk’s recent change in policy that John says allows “misinformation to flourish unchecked,” adding that it “saddens” him to see it “being used to divide our world” (Musk replied to John’s announcement saying he hopes the singer comes back, and asked if there was any specific misinformation that concerned him).
