Last edited Fri Nov 4, 2022, 02:12 PM - Edit history (1)

As I've said elsewhere, Musk has been interfering with Twitter's old algorithms to shift the platform drastically to the right.

This is the tweet of Musk's that Duty To Warn responded to:





Duty To Warn's tweet in response and comment on tweets agreeing with it being hidden:





EDITING to link to threads about more censorship just today, to protect Musk's delicate feelings:

comes with advertising profits. Have your free speech all you want. Don’t be mad if you can’t profit from your free speech.

Responses but "f*ck libtards" is a ok.

Yeah, the twitter swamp is filling up with scum and Musk isn't cleaning any of it out. Welcome to right wing Twitter swamp.

of any reason, then Musk will fail economically. Musk thinks he can say and do anything at all.
But showing himself as "a right-wing clown" is very stupid. People choose to belong to Twitter.
And guess what? They can choose ...NOT to belong to Twitter.

Very bad for a business to have the owner sound like Donald Trump.
A lot of people hate Donald Trump, and for very good reasons.
Not good for business at all.

West's Twitter account was never de-activated.


According to Twitter’s policy, until West deleted the violating tweet he can only access his account in read-only mode and cannot publicly share any posts. At the same time, however, the account will remain visible, as will all of the tweets that did not violate the platform’s policies.

According to the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, West’s Twitter account had been publicly visible as of two days ago. Additionally, since West was locked out of his account on Oct. 8, @kanyewest has continually been up on Twitter and does not appear to have been taken down in any way. A Twitter spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
