Hey, "democratic operatives" embedded somewhere is conspiratorial. The parsimonious explanation, which is where most people align, is that the content violated the terms of service as determined by Twitter. That's the conclusion supported by the new evidence as well.

Good luck out there.

We're skipping the whole "avoid another 2016" part of it?

It’s not like they were CIA operatives, when people say that, they mean it’s a revolving door. The NYT has repeatedly printed stories about how Google employees who volunteered w/ the DNC were a big part of the reason President Obama was elected. A huge number of people working in the Democrat party are ex-FAANG.

I’m not making judgements, people should support political movements they believe in, but at a certain point it affects your ability to be impartial. It’s obvious that you don’t get to play the game unless you’re playing for the right team. The fact that Twitter employees might be biased isn’t all that much of a conspiracy.
