I wrote about all the stuff that Elon Musk & Matt Taibbi didn’t tell you in the “TWITTER FILES” regarding the GOP’s demands for censorship on social media, the repeated changes Twitter made to its own rules to avoid taking action against Trump’s account, & the myth of Twitter’s anti-conservative bias. #disinformation #politics #Journalism

GOP Congressional Hearing Accidentally Debunks ‘Twitter Files’: Trump — Not Biden — Tried to Censor Tweets – Byline Times

Elon Musk’s selective leaks suggested Twitter ‘censored’ Conservatives, but evidence shows they refused to boost a right-wing disinformation campaign around Hunter Biden’s laptop

A great piece. I watched the hearing. Republican "questioners" were a disgrace and the former Twitter people came very well out of it. Thank you for the piece.

@rvawonk Your headline is misleading. The #TwitterHearings exposed a non-transparent relationship between the *FBI* and Twitter. The hearing was held to show the *FBI* had become politicized (or weaponized) against Trump. The #gop proved censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story. At the hearing, Twitter execs agreed they made a mistake. How much was it worth to Biden’s campaign to be able to censor allegations vs. Hunter Biden, including allegations of improper conduct relating to Ukraine?

Sounds exactly like the voting fraud commission they were super serious about after Trump won. They could only find examples of Republicans committing voter fraud so they quietly stopped existing
