Twitter Shadowbans Donald Trump Tweet

Twitter Shadowbans Donald Trump Tweet

(excerpt)

Quote:
 
Since the implementation of Twitter’s new algorithmic timeline back in February of this year, conservatives, libertarians and anti-establishment dissidents alike have been waiting for the social media platform to interfere in the current U.S. election cycle. Now it seems that there is clear evidence of Twitter censoring the current Republican front-runner, Donald Trump.

A tweet sent from Trump’s account at 3:04 PM EDT yesterday is not visible from his timeline, even when showing “Tweets and replies.” That message included a video wherein Trump declared that “the establishment and special interests are absolutely killing our country.”At the time of this writing, the tweet is still publicly accessible via a direct link and thus has not been deleted either by Twitter or by someone operating on the Trump account.

This archive.is link has a copy of the timeline taken before this article was published which clearly shows the tweet not appearing where it should be — between a tweet sent at 12:10 PM EDT and one sent at 3:27 PM EDT; it is possible that the tweet may be reintroduced to the timeline in order to hide the manipulation.

I think if you've read one Donald Trump tweet, you have pretty much read them all. No need to waste bandwidth.

Isn't twitter a private company?
As a private company, they can not choose what content gets on their site?


And I have comments on Breitbart that got deleted..does that mean that Breitbart violated my "free speech"?

So..you cannot answer the question

Ok..conservatives like yourself often defend private companies rights to choose who they serve..or in this case, determine what content appears on their site/app.
So what if twitter is a dem lap dog..they have every right to do so, yes?

and it cost nothing for Trump to use twitter..so bitching about them not letting your content on the site is like complaining that your free speech was violated when you asked to leave a party at someone residence because you insulted other guest.

Perhaps this is an opportunity for you to start a similar site that has 100% free speech.

Yes, but the CEO holds the most amount of outstanding shares. There's nothing wrong but don't go around the world claiming to have a diverse opinion or giving glamourous speeches about the importance of a free speech society.

Offensive comments? The site has every right to remove it. Breibart made its political position clear, not sure why you posted there and complain your posting getting deleted.

I dont care if they deleted my comments..that's the point comrade

Like twitter, they have a right to determine what goes on their site..its not repressing free speech.

and the private site does not have to make their political position clear to make such determinations..seems like you have two standards
One for brietbart and one for twitter

Nope no problem at all....they have pretty clear where their support lies....unlike Twitter...who hired SJW snowflakes but claims neutrality...

BTW not to diminish your importance in the world but you commenting on news site is um...not in anyway a front runner of one of the major parties...just the traffic Trump drives alone would make no business sense to shadow ban...much like liberal favorite...Bernie..

No one is arguing that....still doesn't change what Drudge wrote...and of course not acting like there is no bias would be helpful....

Their treatment of my boy Milo has been quite telling....

Like I said, Breibart's position is clear when it comes to political leaning. Twitter claimed to be this free speech champion company but delete tweets that disagree with the company's political leaning.

There is no hypocrisy comrade.

Enough of this lunacy of tweeting every idiot expression that pops into that idiot's brain.

Unfortunately, Twitter cares. I am sure they are paying someone $30 an hour just to monitor any tweet by trump or by his campaign.
