But during the election, news outlets, including CNN, misled the public into believing Twitter/X was a “far-right" "echo chamber” "Nazi cocktail party".
/1🧵
Nov. 19, CNN reported Twitter/X's userbase “matches the overall electorate far better” in 2024 than when Musk bought it in 2022. But the data shows something even bigger: Twitter/X now has the most politically balanced user base of all major social media platforms. /2
Funny, just five days prior, on Nov. 14, CNN reported that Musk was "turning Twitter into a far-right propaganda machine". /3
Kamala Harris' call to ban Donald Trump from Twitter initiated a period of unprecedented internet censorship. 🧵/1
During her previous failed run for President, Harris promised her government "will hold you accountable" for "misinformation", threatening tech companies with consequences if they don't "police" their platforms for "hate" and "misinformation". /2
The next month after then-Senator Harris threatened the tech companies, Twitter announced it would start labeling tweets with "additional context and clarity". Trump's tweets would later become the first labeled in this way. /3
NEW: The American Psychological Association (APA) is mis/disinforming kids with its new kid's book, on mis/disinformation. 🧵/1
True or False? The Science of Perception, Misinformation, and Disinformation
The APA engaged in a real-life conspiracy with the CIA to bolster Bush-era torture. Now its new children's book seeks to “prebunk” young readers from investigating conspiracy theories. It also misinforms kids on other topics including racism, gender, and the COVID-19 pandemic. /2
Lesson #1 COVID Doctors Never Lied
"During the COVID-19 pandemic," the book says, there was "seemingly conflicting information from scientists".
"Seemingly"? Ha! The messaging was completely contradictory. Trusted experts lied about masks, vaccines, & the virus's origin.
NEW REPORT: DNC Disinformation Program lists factual reporting and satire as "disinformation" 🧵/1
In a video uploaded by Democratic Party strategist Simon Rosenberg in 2023, Tim Durigan, the DNC's lead disinformation analyst, shares a PowerPoint with a sample intelligence report that provides a rare inside look at what the DNC sees as "disinformation".
(highlight added) /2
The "Cognitive decline" disinformation intelligence report lists content the DNC calls "out of context" & "deceptive".
But nearly every video and article listed is factual reporting, while the rest is opinion & comedy.
EXCLUSIVE: In a newly discovered Zoom recording, the Biden/Harris team reveals how they manipulated voters to think Biden's mental decline was "disinformation". 🧵/1
Biden/Harris digital director Rob Flaherty says the DNC created a program to detect, track, and censor what it deemed "misinformation" (like Biden's mental decline). He calls it "critical" and "one of the more important decisions" made by the party in recent years. /2
Emails show Flaherty carrying out the (supposedly) counter-misinformation program in the White House, pushing Facebook to censor Tucker Carlson for correctly saying the COVID-19 vaccine didn't stop transmission, and Tomi Lahren for her strong "my body, my choice" stance. /3
Why are these names redacted from the White House / Facebook meeting notes? The public must know who decides what content is censored online for there to be any accountability.
"Rob" = Rob Flaherty - Biden Digital Director, now Harris '24 Deputy Campaign Manager
An internal Facebook brief noted that it was “reducing the spread of content” that wasn’t violating Facebook’s policies but that Facebook thought “could lead to hesitancy.”
