Oh wait, it’s because clearly this information from a “Twitter source” (aka Elon) is disseminated with a viewpoint and is hardly impartial.
All of this should be viewed with extreme skepticism, and so far none of this seems damning in any way. I haven’t seen anything that says Elon is remotely operating in good faith.
Of their employees that made political donations, >99% donated to the DNC. The people making moderation decisions at Twitter have made their political affiliations clear. On the eve of an election, they removed a story that was unfavorable to one candidate in an unprecedented way, using tools and processes they would use for sex trafficking and child pornography, to the the point where they deleted people’s DM’s referencing a story about a political candidate.
I’m not a lawyer and can’t say if it violated the law, but it’s certainly unethical. If you want to talk about reasons our country is so politically divided, this is a prime example of people in tech using every scrap of power to put their thumb on the scale that is the democratic process.
I referenced the Biden team's verbiage because that's the only verbiage that was posted with the implied intent on getting tweets removed (besides the DNC). I'd love to see the email's from the White House asking for tweets to be removed.
