``` Twitter “SHADOW BANNING” prominent Republicans. Not good. We will look into this discriminatory and illegal practice at once! Many complaints. ```

What kind of idiotic crap is this? Twitter is a private company, they can control what is on their site in any way they see fit. Shadow banning, while potentially destructive to the reputation of the company, is in no way illegal.

We have a moron for President.

It's just manufactured outrage. We need to collectively ignore this nonsense. It's intended to distract.
