A top Twitter executive responsible for safety and content moderation has left the company, her departure coming soon after owner Elon Musk publicly complained about the platform’s handling of posts about transgender topics.”
“But CNN being CNN they had to put their Democratic operative take out there on the controversy. They highlighted Irwin resigning, acting as though she quit because Elon was so bad about ‘hate speech.'”
“A Twitter employee who works in ‘brand safety’ with a history of making derogatory posts about white people is leaving the company, the employee said on Thursday.”
“You can’t have a free society if people aren’t allowed to say what they think is true. Speech is the fundamental prerequisite for democracy. That’s why it’s enshrined in the first of our constitutional amendments.”
– Tucker Carlson
“Will anybody be able to police what Carlson says, or is this the point? Is it a free for all?”

“Musk initiated his acquisition of Twitter in April of 2022 and officially took over October 27, 2022. In that time and in the months afterwards, 28 former FBI, DOJ, CIA and DHS executives employed by Twitter left the company, a Daily Caller LinkedIn search revealed.”
“The Biden FTC is abusing power to retaliate against Elon Musk for supporting free speech on Twitter,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said. “And now, as this Judicial Watch federal FOIA lawsuit shows, the FTC is trying to cover up this attempt to silence and punish Musk.”
“And in a stunning turn of events, instead of apologizing for the ridiculous prediction of catastrophe, Thunberg simply…deleted it.”
“Ranking Member Plaskett, I’m not a ‘so-called journalist.’ I’ve won the National Magazine Award, the I.F. Stone Award for Independent Journalism, and I’ve written 10 books, including four New York Times bestsellers.”
“The First Amendment, and an American population accustomed to the right to speak, is the best defense left against the Censorship-Industrial Complex, If there’s anything the Twitter Files show, it’s that we’re in danger of losing this most precious right, without which all other democratic rights are impossible.”
“The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has told Twitter to provide internal communications, including those regarding CEO Elon Musk, as well as the names of journalists the company has provided internal records to as part of the agency’s investigation into it, House Republicans said Tuesday.”
“Over the past year, Accountable Tech and other groups bankrolled by Omidyar organized campaigns to pressure corporations to boycott Twitter and issued statements and op-eds denouncing Musk and calling for government investigations into the billionaire. “I wonder who funds them,” wrote Musk in May, in response to a Washington Free Beacon report about the organization’s secretiveness.”
“The platform, then headed by CEO Jack Dorsey, also locked The Post out of its Twitter account for more than two weeks because of baseless claims that the report used hacked information. However, Ocasio-Cortez dismissed the furor as a ’24-hour hiccup in a right-wing political operation.'”
“Twitter didn’t have the guts to out Hamilton 68 publicly but did try to speak to reporters off the record… Again, even Roth, like most Twitter execs an ardent Democratic partisan, saw that the Hamilton scheme would lead people ‘to assert that any right-leaning content is propagated by Russian bots.”
“Favorable coverage of ASD’s work appeared in Politico (‘The Russian Bots Are Coming. This Bipartisan Duo Is On It.’), The Washington Post (‘Russia-linked accounts are tweeting their support of embattled Fox News host Laura Ingraham’), and elsewhere.But according to new revelations uncovered by independent journalist Matt Taibbi as part of the Twitter Files, the accounts on ASD’s list weren’t Russian bots. Moreover, Twitter content moderators knew the list was inaccurate but were reluctant to criticize it due to fears of bad press.”
“Twitter warned politicians and media the[y] not only lacked evidence, but had evidence the accounts weren’t Russian – and were roundly ignored,”
“In addition to revelations about FBI censorship, shadow-banning, Pentagon use of fake accounts, and suppression of true information about issues like Covid-19, the Twitter emails regularly expose the wide delta between what we were told about foreign threats, and what a major platform seeing the raw data knew.”
“Yet Twitter wound up flagging Giroir’s tweet anyway, putting a misleading tag on it and preventing almost anyone from seeing it. It remains tagged even though several large studies have confirmed the truth of Giroir’s words.”
“The resulting behemoth, still being built today, is a public-private consortium made up of U.S. intelligence agencies, Big Tech companies, civil society institutions, and major media organizations that has become the world’s most powerful spy service—one that was powerful enough to disappear the former president of the United States from public life, and that is now powerful enough to do the same or worse to anyone else it chooses.”
“By 2020, Twitter was struggling with the problem of public and private agencies bypassing them and going straight to the media with lists of suspect accounts,”
“In Tuesday’s installment of the ongoing ‘Twitter Files,’ independent journalist Matt Taibbi posted a Nov. 20, 2020, email regarding a request from the California Democrat’s office to suppress free speech on the social media platform.”
“Emails released on Saturday as part of the latest dump of the ‘Twitter Files’ reveal that the week before the 2020 presidential election, the FBI field office investigating Hunter Biden sent multiple censorship requests to Twitter — so many in fact, a top attorney for the tech giant found it ‘odd.'”
“But Twitter did suppress views—and not just those of journalists like Berenson. Many medical and public health professionals who expressed perspectives or even cited findings from accredited academic journals that conflicted with official positions were also targeted. As a result, legitimate findings and questions about our Covid policies and their consequences went missing.”
“The FBI did not merely engage in ‘correspondence’ with Twitter to protect the company and its ‘customers.’ Instead, it effectively hired Twitter to suppress the free expression of some of its users, as well as news stories deemed unhelpful to the Biden campaign and administration—to the degree that the bureau’s requests sometimes even exceeded those of Twitter’s own left-wing censors.”
“From that point, Taibbi writes that ‘regular meeting[s] of the multi-agency Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF)’ — attended by Twitter and ‘virtually every major tech firm [including] Facebook, Microsoft, Verizon, Reddit, even Pinterest, and many other’ — had ‘FBI personnel, and – nearly always – one or two attendees marked OGA’.”
“All of this government interference at Twitter was carried out under the guise of a ‘foreign interference task force’ (FITF in the emails). Yet, as Taibbi notes, most of the reports being forwarded contained information that originated domestically from American citizens, meaning the CIA was involved in quashing speech on US soil.”
“The EU should use all the possibilities at its disposal to protect competition and freedom of speech on digital platforms,”
“He testified as part of a lawsuit against the Biden administration, accusing the now president of organizing meetings in San Francisco for as many as seven DC-based FBI agents in the months leading up to the 2020 presidential election. Those FBI agents would then meet with Big Tech officials to remove ‘disfavored speakers, viewpoints and content on social media platforms… under the guise of combating misinformation,’ the Republican attorneys general of Louisiana and Missouri claim.”
“The Bureau had a bunch of ‘former’ employees on Twitter’s payroll actively helping suppress free speech on their platform. The FBI had secret channels of communication between an agency of theirs and a privately-owned social media company that were used exclusively to control the public narrative about an election-changing event. The FBI also paid Twitter millions of taxpayer dollars to suppress our own free speech”
“Leaks also show that Twitter’s deputy chief legal counsel was made aware of the Hunter Biden laptop story, and its legitimacy, a month before it was published.”
“Twitter placed dozens of accounts created by US Central Command (CENTCOM) on a “whitelist” for preferential treatment, according to internal company documents obtained by journalist Lee Fang. The eighth edition of the ‘Twitter Files’ exposed the site’s involvement in propaganda operations run by the Pentagon.”
