Twitter doesn't suppress trends and there's no way in heck they'd go to the trouble to auto-detect when Scott Adams mentions Donald Trump in a Periscope feed. That would require actual engineering effort (aside from being completely insane) which they don't put into stuff like this. When they want to deal with jerkoffs like Milo, the Trust & Safety team handles it, not their engineers.

> Twitter doesn't suppress trends

I've seen them do it in real time. When politically unfavorable hashtags start trending, they will often suddenly disappear off the trending list.
