And the government.

The Taibi tweets show that trump's team were also doing the same thing. It's a nothingburger. Taibi just showed that both sides could report a tweet for twitter to review. Anybody can do that anyway, but I guess the candidates could skip the queue or had a dedicated team or whatever. It's not really an exciting or groundbreaking story

just call it a non-story repeatedly, on every post that mentions it, that'll show us!

They think they can just lie, and it works.

Twitter is now decensored. And this web site is filled with some of the most intelligent people online.

These people are fucking morons. And without censorship, they look stupid.

Are you accusing me of lying? What am I lying about? If you're really worried about lies then point to one. Otherwise it just seems performative

Do you have an original name, here on saidit?

[–]Site_rly_sux 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Is that what you're accusing me of lying about? Or is that totally irrelevant

[–]Site_rly_sux 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (90 children)

I was very recently accused of not engaging with the topic of the saidit posts I reply to. So I thought I would make an effort to invite debate and encourage other people to share their views, too.

So please, tell me, why do you think this is an interesting or groundbreaking story? Was it surprising to you that both presidential candidate teams had ways to report a tweet for review - it was to me, but it makes sense when I think about it. Both teams are probably the largest advertising accounts during election season, so it makes sense they'd have account managers to expedite complaints. What do you think?

It's interesting because it's Twitter working with politicians to control public opinion. It ties right into the Hunter Biden laptop story which may have changed the course of the 2020 presidential election.

[–][deleted] 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Exactly. You are correct.

It's interesting because it's Twitter working with politicians to control public opinion.

That's not what Taibi's information showed. That what you would like for it to say, but I think if Taibi had any such evidence then he would have shared it.

What he did show, was that Twitter worked with politicians to enforce their platform policies, which is different to the thing which you said.

It ties right into the Hunter Biden laptop story

Again, not what Taibi showed.

If today I hack your device and steal your data and post it on twitter, then my tweet will be taken down. If you stop and think about it for a minute, then you'll realise that that's a good rule for twitter to have.

They censored the coverage of the Hunter Biden laptop story from MSM. Fuck yourself you boot licking semanticist.

The documents shared by Taibi which I read said that, at first, twitter treated it as a breach of their policy against sharing hacked PII. Then it said that after a "whirlwind" of policy review, twitter later decided it would be okay for Donald Trump's team to share it without blurring PII. That doesn't sound like someone "censoring", and it doesn't sound like a "boot" that I'd be licking.

Like "oh I really idolise twitter's account managers of the two presidential campaigns' advertising teams, who had to receive petty emails complaining about content probably at all hours. I love to lick the boot of the poorly paid trust and safety ops team who had to take referals from Trump sat on the toilet at 2am. Let me lick that blue collar boot"

What are you screeching about? Twitter and the feds all acted appropriately, and there was no manipulation of public perception ever?

[–]Site_rly_sux 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (81 children)

No, there were probably plenty of mistakes. That's life.

But nowhere in the documents I read was any evidence at all of a conspiracy. The emails just look like mundane business conversations. What's the point in exaggerating a story into existence where it doesn't already exist? Surely if Biden is so bad there must be real tangible things in the shared reality which the right could go after. Inventing stories for fake news damages the shared reality and I think at least one person ought to stick around saying, "guys I know this fits well in your biases. But it's not a real actual thing that's happening in reality, it's just a fun imagination exercise"

Excellent responses. Sorry d3rr-the-abusive-POS is trolling you. It's apparent that he and some of the other Saiditors don't want to know the facts. They want to help GOP fascists push their agenda to fuck over the 99%.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (79 children)

Seeing a screenshot of something previously alleged or even proven, makes it a story. Maybe not an interesting one.

Nope. The evidence clearly says they usually needed a police/court order to ban material because it was from a hacked source. They didn't follow that rule because of pressure from the Dems.

Where does the evidence say that? Are you really trying to tell me that you think twitter can't take down material on their own platform without a court order?

Did you even read the tweet you linked? It says they had a crazy "whirlwind" time figuring out what's in breach of policy and what isn't.

It's favourable to trump! THE POST YOU LINKED IS FAVORABLE TO TRUMP read it again dude.

It says that trump can now post something that they originally took down! They first thought he would need to blur some PII but then decided he wouldn't need to after the whirlwind of policy input. It was FAVORABLE to trump you dimwit

No it’s not, the censorship was basically one sided. Like one request from trump, that wasent really followed, and 6,000,000 DNC censorship’s.

This is not a nothing burgers, and over the next few months the real damage will be shown.

What’s interesting, is all that “end of twitter” bullshit, when elon bought it. And I said it was a nothing burger.

And now you guys are saying this bombshell is a nothing burger.

You are wrong.

Twitter is not dying, this is a big deal.

Where did you see this? Or are you just pulling these numbers out your ass?

If you really thought this story was relevant, wouldn't you point to real facts instead of imagination?

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

I actually pulled those numbers out of my ass. Those are not real numbers.

Yes, imagination… imagination…. Imagination….

[–]Site_rly_sux 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Like I said. If this was a real story, you'd find real things to complain about instead of having to invent new numbers to make the story sound better

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

You can say whatever. It doesn’t make you correct. And right now, what you are saying is incorrect.

It’s literally all over twitter. People are getting sued.

[–]Site_rly_sux 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

No, buddy, if was you who incorrectly wrote 6mil vs 1. That was something which you invented because it felt like it would fit your narrative. So think about how you already did the thing which you're accusing me of.

What am I incorrect about? You can't point at something I'm wrong about here because I took care to base what I wrote on the facts, unlike you who imagined a number then inserted it into the narrative because it sounded right.

And just to be clear - I get that 6mil was a fun exaggeration to emphasise how one-sided you imagined the complaint rates were. But there's ZERO evidence of any discrepancy in complaint rates - that, again, is something which you have imagined because it feel like it would fit the narrative
