Like an episodic series, part two of the so-called Twitter Files dropped on Thursday evening. It should be called, "The Blacklist." It’s as shocking and unbelievable as the fictional version on television. Except the Twitter tale is real. And odious.
Despite repeated denials by Twitter executives over the years, it turns out that the social media company was doing exactly what many critics suspected —secretly building blacklists of conservatives to diminish or disappear on their powerful platform. They weren’t practicing responsible content moderation, as they claimed. No, they were deviously devising a system of content oblivion.
If you dared to offer information or opinion with which the progressive elites at Twitter disagreed or objected, your tweets would vanish into a cyber black hole. Your followers would strangely begin to dwindle. Any ideas and thoughts that didn’t conform strictly to Twitter’s woke orthodoxy of ideological purity were suppressed. It became a punitive censorship machine that applied its contrived and contorted standards with brute force.
