You’re a dupe.

“Taibbi isn’t just sloppy with facts, which is problematic enough. He leaves out the very important context that highlights how the big conspiracy he’s reporting is… not big, not a conspiracy, and not even remotely problematic.
He presents it as a massive censorship operation, targeting 22 million tweets, with takedown demands from government players, seeking to silence the American public. When you look through the details, correcting Taibbi’s many errors, and putting it in context, you see that it was an academic operation to study information flows, who sent the more blatant issues they came across to Twitter with no suggestion that they do anything about them, and the vast majority of which Twitter ignored. In some minority of cases, Twitter applied its own speech to add more context to some of the tweets, and in a very small number of cases, where it found phishing attempts or people impersonating election officials (clear terms of service violations, and potentially actual crimes), it removed them.”

Bottom line, if you still believe "the twitter files" are what Taibbi claimed them to be, or if you still believe Elon Musk is some sort of high tech savant who bought Twitter out of some "free speech" altruistic motives, you are a fool.

It was awesome seeing Mehdi Hasan obliterate Taibbi over how Taibbi grossly misrepresented facts and watching Taibbi's trademark smirk completely melt off of his face into the dejected face of someone who knows he's been caught in their lies and deceptions.

I wonder what the Russians have on Taibbi to make him grovel on behalf of Musk. His servility makes him look like Lindsey Graham.

Update: he broke with Musk a few days ago.

Still loves Russia, though!

Musk is also through with Shellenberger.

Nice try.
The Twitter files have revealed this administration going out of their way to squelch free speech. Sadly, nobody will be held accountable because they were squelching the speech of the "right" people.

Almost the entirety of the Twitter files are from the Trump administration. It’s clear you haven’t actually read the reports since don’t appear to know that.

"Almost" is a big word.

Don't forget all the back and forth with Schiff, et. al.

New revelation from the Pentagon Discord leak:

Russians say that only 1% of their fake profiles are actually being stopped.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/04/16/russia-disinformation-discord-leaked-documents/

And Musk has only further weakened Twitter's ability to deal with Russian disinformation campaigns since taking over.

This is why the FBI was getting involved in Twitter. Not because of the reasons Taibbi cites.

But now the FBI has been chased off from Twitter thanks to Taibbi. And now Elon goes back to enabling Russian and Chinese troll farms pushing massive disinformation schemes on Americans.

Only the American government should be pushing disinformation schemes on Americans.
