How can Veritas change full consecutive paragraphs on video? Puppetry? Twitter hasn’t denied. And there are more videos cued to release


Sorry but they have no credibility. B&E charges, cut and paste. If there is a point to the story, it won't get through because they are chronic liars and the public doesn't listen to them.


I'm talking about full sentences that can't be cut and pasted. Why don't you parse the video and show me exactly where the cut and pastes are. That would help.

Conservative here: that ship sailed decades ago. Turnabout is fair play.


Got it - you no longer dislike regulations and you no longer believe in unfettered capitalism.


No, I simply believe that living in a fantasy world about how things actually are is a great way to get beat. We live in a world where government power is routinely used to advance the liberal cause. (Bake the cake!) Two, however, can play at that game. Your rules.

no one forces fox to carry different points of view.


True, journalists have gotten a special dispensation from many legal requirements and liabilities. But that's not a generally applicable privilege.

Time to regulate Twitter along with the other tech giants to protect democracy?

https://www.projectveritas.com/2018/01/11/undercover-video-twitter-engineers-to-ban-a-way-of-talking-through-shadow-banning-algorithms-to-censor-opposing-political-opinions/

Steven Pierre, Twitter engineer explains “shadow banning,” says “it’s going to ban a way of talking”

Former Twitter software engineer Abhinav Vadrevu on shadow banning: “they just think that no one is engaging with their content, when in reality, no one is seeing it”

Former Twitter Content Review Agent Mo Norai explains banning process: “if it was a pro-Trump thing and I’m anti-Trump… I banned his whole account… it’s at your discretion”

When asked if banning process was an unwritten rule, Norai adds “Very. A lot of unwritten rules… It was never written it was more said”

Olinda Hassan, Policy Manager for Twitter Trust and Safety explains, “we’re trying to ‘down rank’… shitty people to not show up,” “we’re working [that] on right now”

“Shadow banning” to be used to stealthily target political views- former Twitter engineer says, “that’s a thing”

Censorship of certain political viewpoints to be automated via “machine learning” according to Twitter software engineer

Parnay Singh, Twitter Direct Messaging Engineer, on machine learning algorithms, “you have like five thousand keywords to describe a redneck…” “the majority of it are for Republicans”


The irony, of course, is that twitter made the very weapon that got Trump into the White House. Pretty amusing.

As a conservative, I agree with you to some extent. Their platform, their rules.
But if they are going to do this, they should advertise that this is what they do. If they are proud of the way they “filter” content, then put their beliefs and unwritten rules out there for all to see.
Why the secrecy?


Why the secrecy of Exxon burying their climate change models they developed in the 1970s?
Why the secrecy of Phillip Morris not telling smokers for 40+ years that smoking causes cancer?

I mean, Republicans have allowed corporations to get away with a lot of stuff for decades. Why do they suddenly cry foul with Twitter?


You probably don’t realize it, but you have just made my point.


Not really. Pp did not prove that twitter has done anything wrong. Just saying if they did, it would be no different than other private corporations.
