The creation of Frankenstein.

2. What you’re about to read is the first installment in a series, based upon thousands of internal documents obtained by sources at Twitter.

3. The “Twitter Files” tell an incredible story from inside one of the world’s largest and most influential social media platforms. It is a Frankensteinian tale of a human-built mechanism grown out the control of its designer.
 
Mission creep towards totalitarianism

7. Slowly, over time, Twitter staff and executives began to find more and more uses for these tools. Outsiders began petitioning the company to manipulate speech as well: first a little, then more often, then constantly.
 
Into the abyss of Totalitarianism. Assisting the Biden Campaign in censoring political opponents.

8. By 2020, requests from connected actors to delete tweets were routine. One executive would write to another: “More to review from the Biden team.” The reply would come back: “Handled.”

 
INCORRECT. AND TAIBBI ADMITS AS MUCH LATER.

10.Both parties had access to these tools. For instance, in 2020, requests from both the Trump White House and the Biden campaign were received and honored. However:

Taibbi later comes back and corrects this in this video at the 2:35 mark.


From 2:58
"The data sets that we have, we've looked for evidence in the other direction, of let's just say requests from the Trump Whitehouse to get this person or that person banned. I was told that by human sources, so I felt obligated to put that in one of the threads, but we are not seeing that in the documents, so I can't write about it.
 
A monolithic Leftist Company on a mission.

11. This system wasn't balanced. It was based on contacts. Because Twitter was and is overwhelmingly staffed by people of one political orientation, there were more channels, more ways to complain, open to the left (well, Democrats) than the right. opensecrets.org/orgs/twitter/s…
 
Censoring the Biden Laptop and protecting Corrupt Joe Biden

16. The Twitter Files, Part One: How and Why Twitter Blocked the Hunter Biden Laptop Story
 
18. Twitter took extraordinary steps to suppress the story, removing links and posting warnings that it may be “unsafe.” They even blocked its transmission via direct message, a tool hitherto reserved for extreme cases, e.g. child pornography.
 
Totalitarians making it up as they go along.

24. “They just freelanced it,” is how one former employee characterized the decision. “Hacking was the excuse, but within a few hours, pretty much everyone realized that wasn’t going to hold. But no one had the guts to reverse it.”
 
Typical of Totalitarians. They are unwilling to own up to mistakes because they have the power to.

26. By this point “everyone knew this was ****ed,” said one former employee, but the response was essentially to err on the side of… continuing to err.
 
Enter the FBI RussiaGate liar who was hired by Twitter 5-months before the election. Jim Baker.

28. To which former Deputy General Counsel Jim Baker again seems to advise staying the non-course, because “caution is warranted”:
 
One sane Democrat in an ocean of idiot Leftists.

30. In one humorous exchange on day 1, Democratic congressman Ro Khanna reaches out to Gadde to gently suggest she hop on the phone to talk about the “backlash re speech.” Khanna was the only Democratic official I could find in the files who expressed concern.
 
Drunk with power and dumb as rocks.

36.Twitter files continued:
"THE FIRST AMENDMENT ISN’T ABSOLUTE”
Szabo’s letter contains chilling passages relaying Democratic lawmakers’ attitudes. They want “more” moderation, and as for the Bill of Rights, it's "not absolute"

The problem with the "hacked materials" ruling, several sources said, was that this normally required an official/law enforcement finding of a hack. But such a finding never appears throughout what one executive describes as a "whirlwind" 24-hour, company-wide mess.
 
Twitter files #55 in 1,2,3,4......

Get a new hobby OP...maybe one that you are good at would be a great idea.

I was looking at his post earlier and the vast majority are about twitter, the twitter files, the mainstream media and biden. It's a collection of never ending attacks based on bullshit. Sad.

This is the guy that started out by telling us he only dealt in facts and truth. Are there different earths on different planes of existence?

Yep, but he seems to expect repetition to make (force?) the Biden administration police (investigate and prosecute?) itself.

I doubt the Biden administration is aware of this website.

What? Are you asserting that the FBI, and intelligence agencies aren’t monitoring DP posts too?

That’s not necessarily the Biden administration, those would be career government employees.

Excellent thread 2000. When you produce a thread and you get a bunch of libs whining and bitching and moanining about it and not arguing with facts you know you got it right.
