FULL TWITTER FILES👉Threads by all of the Twitter Files reporters.
HB Laptop: Twitter blocked the story on the basis of its “hacked materials” policy,“Can we truthfully claim that this is part of the policy?”Twitter contractor polls members of Congress, Democratic members want more moderation, not less, and “the First Amendment isn’t absolute.”
Bye JIM BAKER: A second round of Twitter Files releases was delayed, as new addition Bari Weiss discovers former FBI General Counsel and Twitters Jim Baker was reviewing the first batches of Twitter Files documents.
TWITTER’S SECRET BLACKLISTS: Twitter toolbox for controlling visibility of any user,“Search Blacklist” “Trends Blacklist” “Do Not Amplify” “Think about visibility filtering as being a way for us to suppress what people see to different levels. It’s a very powerful tool”
Trump Removal: Trust and Safety chief Yoel Roth met regularly with FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Twitter aggressively used “visibility filtering” tools to Trump well before the election.
Trump Removal 2: Twitter employee worried about a “slippery slope” in which “an online platform CEO with a global presence… can gatekeep speech for the entire world,” only to be shot down.
Trump Removal 3: Dissenters in the company (“Maybe because I am from China,” said one employee, “I deeply understand how censorship can destroy the public conversation”)
TWITTER AND “OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES” The FBI and the “Foreign Influence Task Force” met regularly “not just with Twitter, but with Yahoo!, Twitch, Cloudfare, LinkedIn, even Wikimedia.”
HOW TWITTER RIGGED THE COVID DEBATE: Twitter throttled down information about COVID that was true but perhaps inconvenient for public officials, “discrediting doctors and other experts who disagreed.”
HOW TWITTER LET THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY IN: The internal guidance says, in writing, that Twitter will remove accounts “identified by the U.S. intelligence community” as “identified by the U.S.. intelligence community as a state-sponsored entity conducting cyber-operations.”
TWITTER AND THE FBI “BELLY BUTTON”The second thread shows how Twitter took in requests from everyone — Treasury, HHS, NSA, FBI, DHS, etc and received personal requests from politicians like Democratic congressman Adam Schiff, who asked to have journalist Paul Sperry suspended.
