THREAD: Last week, following the debunked “whips” narrative, @DailySignal shared a 2017 video I produced highlighting the important role horses play in securing the border.

Instead of showing the video, Twitter showed some users a warning for "potentially sensitive content."

The video, a production I am proud of, has *nothing* that could be misconstrued as "sensitive content." Watch the full video here:

Twitter initially denied censoring the video, but Monday afternoon changed its story, saying the video was indeed flagged but refusing to say why or whether the censoring was the result of an algorithm or if human error was involved.

As @Heritage rightly put it, "Twitter’s warning suppressed views of the video and cut off an important contribution to the conversation about border security and the Biden border crisis."

@RobertBluey's statement on the censorship is worth reading in full:

Aside from the American people, who are being censored and lied to from the top down, the biggest victims of this ordeal are the men and women who serve in the Border Patrol’s Horse Patrol Program.

As @CBPMarkMorgan put it, "These lies and smears against the men and women of the Border Patrol are disgusting, and it’s completely unacceptable that companies like Twitter are helping advance those lies by censoring the truth."

I'm glad to see @Heritage and @DailySignal, organizations I'm proud to be affiliated with, stand up against this nonsense and fight for the American people, including our U.S. Border Patrol agents who do thankless work on behalf of Americans *and* those seeking to come here. END/

I guess this thread isn't over because Twitter is now censoring replies to this thread itself. See screenshots. The second image is a comment separate from @lyndseyfifield's. Twitter is censoring them both.
