BREAKING: An inside look at the type of content Twitter flagged for review

Thread below ⬇️
1. “This file is international. The other file was US only.”

The following screenshots will reveal the type of content Twitter was monitoring for political misinformation.

The file included dates, language & annotation. I will be sharing examples in this thread.
2. “Regarding the context on annotations- it may be interesting for people to see what we were looking for. It might strike some of your readers as interesting that we were censoring info from other places at all. Some might ask what right we had to do that.”
3. “What if TikTok censored stuff from our government?”
4. What is an action?

“An action is any of those things.

- Annotate
- Bounce
- Interstitial

They are all actions.
Bounce is suspended. Annotate and interstitial are notes we made for ourselves to resolve later.”
5. This thread provides an inside look at the type of terms that were flagged by Twitter as political misinformation. Inclusion on the list does not mean action was taken on every piece of flagged content. Context is critical here.
@RepNancyMace they need to pull the health/other file list from data science.

I handed my most important Ruby files to Mike Benz believing he actually cared about the country.

First, he asked if he could share my files with his Intel friends at NSA. Next, he introduced me to John Solomon.

Benz promised to cover The Ruby Files. Instead - he buried my work and proceeded to come up with excuse after excuse as to why he couldn’t.

Next thing I know - he’s on Tucker Carlson and being called the top AI Censorship expert in the world.

He blocked me when I called him out and never spoke to me again.
I was told that my Ruby Files reporting would be on Hannity.

I was also told I basically needed to work with them and do it their way. Something felt off about all of it. I didn’t proceed.

My work was never on Hannity.

My life continued to get worse and worse.

Why? Because they knew what I had and I refused to play ball.
I have stayed silent about this for over a year. I will continue to stay silent about the worst parts of this because I don’t want to deal with this litigious gang of mobsters. Trust me when I say that these are not good people. I am not crazy. They could make any decent person look crazy. This is what they are best at.

What am I looking at here?

Thousands of pages from Google's internal Content API Warehouse detailing over 14,014 attributes related to Google's ranking systems. The screenshots I posted are from those files.

Why does this matter? What is the context?

Two of the attributes include signals related to Covid authority and election scoring.

So what?

This potentially means Google had an internal config for domain level authority scoring pertaining to elections and vaccines.

Who cares?

People interested in the topic of Internet censorship should ideally care.

Today is a great day to investigate what really happened to Scott Peikin.
Mikes family is not just an “Internet family.” They were involved with the actual creation of the Internet.
Scott was found dead a month later. Image

Actually Michael it’s the other way around. Which is why he is working for you. How did all the journalists obtain the source docs you speak of? Where did the “scoops” really come from? Image

Shout out to The OG Twitter Files written in 2011.

“How do you establish trends and how do you then capture that in an intelligence product?” Image
2011: DHS considers Twitter for intel:

“Instant social media reports” aka instant intelligence reports. The only thing that has changed is the role of citizen investigators.
