Is that like double-secret probation?

Twitter, continue to do things like this, and your brand and business will be as well remembered in 30 years as Betamax is today...

Seriously, though, the folks at Twitter don't even have the balls to tell you they are intercepting your messages?

Does anyone know if Twitter is being sued for this behavior?

“There was, I would say… Twitter was probably about 90% Anti-Trump, maybe 99% Anti-Trump.”

I was shadowbaned on Twitter on Nov 6, 2017 for asking
Where is John Podesta?

I wonder, does the material they don’t approve of not even show up on the feed of the person posting it? I.e. if I already follow someone, or look them up in my browser, do I still see everything they’re posting, or does the “shadow ban” make things invisible to all but the poster?

Second, it will be interesting to see if Trump reacts to this exposure of his most useful tool. Presumably Twitter isn’t shadow-banning him because too many people would notice if something he wanted to post wasn’t visible. But, this would be an excellent excuse for him to excoriate Twitter for their leftist censorship, and to pull up stakes for a more even-handed tool. The only catch would be that he’d have to find a way to do it so they couldn’t launch some kind of legal action for destroying their stock price (which almost certainly would happen if he and Red America abandoned it).

With any luck, this exposure by O’Keefe will tank their stock first, so Trump can get out without being blamed for their collapse.

Scott Adams (Dilbert) went thru a phase where his followers weren’t seeing his tweets for no apparent reason - after he started speaking positively (and persuasively!) of Trump and garnering an audience for that pro-Trump content. I’m sure he’ll be talking about it today on his “coffee chats”.

Just watched the video.

Boy, what a bunch of degenerate, semiliterate “geniuses.” Conversations filled with “like, y’knows,” broken English and, of course, obscenities.

And the hip hop music in the background. Tells you all you need to know about the “culture” at Twitter.

More like a septic tank.

There needs to be a mass exodus to Gab.ai. Let twitter die like Myspace.

I know this can happen and I know it is happening to Donald Trump on Facebook.

He was getting 10s of thousands of likes every day and all of a sudden it just froze to next to nothing.

Yes I know the election was obviously a busy time from that point of view but it seemed to fall off a cliff. His FB presence has hardly grown since this election whereas his Twitter has massively.

I hope someone of importance reads this thread and passes on this information - it is happening and it needs exposing.

Let's see, twitter, google, youtube, facebook all marching in the same direction.

I'm sure its just a coincidence.

Twitter is a joke. I only use it for news, but not to tweet.

The power of Trump is that they really can’t ban him without GOOD cause. So he’s carrying the twitter conservative torch.

I don’t do twitter. 140 characters is just enough room to get yourself in huge trouble. First time I ever used my cell phone to post here (about seven years ago) I tried to be brief and was so utterly misunderstood that I was banned without warning.

I was once on a then-popular news/opinion site. The owner implemented an upvote/downvote system as part of his shift to the left.

If leftists down-voted you, you were likely to get banned.

If someone down-voted a leftist, the person who issued the down-voting was likely to get banned. It was all about eliminating dissenting voices.
