It's hilarious watching the right wing going hysterical about "a conspiracy against the right" when it actually shows the Trump White House suppressed stories, and that Twitter went above and beyond to keep egregious, serially-ToS-violating right wing accounts like "Libs of Tiktok" going.
I posted that Bari Weiss is “revealing” things that were previously reported. Also worth noting that she and Taibbi are both “revealing” things that have been publicly available in Twitter’s TOS for years.
It does seem like a pretty big grift to me.

Yet more proof Twitter was taken over by clueless noobs.
Bari Weiss isn’t exactly an intellectual heavyweight.
There's a certain irony to having an "anti-cancel-culture warrior" like Bari Weiss combing through private messages at Twitter looking for dirt to cancel people with.
DP. She’d probably counter that she’s a reporter doing a public service.
Lmao. Everything she is “revealing” has been reported on for at least 2 years by Vice and other outlets.
MAGA people are so credulous.

Musk has restored 12,000 accounts for far right wing extremists, racists, white supremacists, yet left-leaning accounts that didn't violate Twitter's ToS are inexplicably being suspended all over Twitter.
What a disgrace.
What a disgrace.

It's even more hilarious watching posters like you deny that Taibbi documented that what conservatives have been complaining about is actually a baseless conspiracy theory.

Taibbi used to do hit jobs for the left, but now the left understands he's a grifter and he's overstayed his welcome with the left. So now he's grifting for the right.
Not sure how you can say this when what he is doing is revealing facts and news.
Just because the facts are detrimental to the left does not make him a "grifter."
Perhaps you should look up the meaning of the word, "grifter."
He has not revealed any facts detrimental to the left.

The FBI agent who held the meetings says that the comments were less definitive than how Roth describes them. Here is what he said in his deposition for a lawsuit:
https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/23384304/elvis-chan-deposition.pdf
Yeah, in my estimation, we never discussed Hunter Biden specifically with Twitter. And so the way I read that is that there are hack-and-leak operations, and then at the time — at the time I believe he flagged one of the potential current events that were happening ahead of the elections.
You believe that he, Yoel Roth, flagged Hunter Biden in one of these meetings?
No. I believe — I don’t believe he flagged it during one of the meetings. I just think that — so I don’t know. I cannot read his mind, but my assessment is because I don’t remember discussing Hunter Biden at any of the meetings with Twitter, that we didn’t discuss it.
So this would have been something that he would have just thought of as a hot-button issue on his own that happened in October.
Basically, the FBI was meeting with social media companies regularly to inform them of possible threats. The FBI was not telling them to censor or block anything, but simply providing information on which the social media companies could make their own decisions.
