> favoring restrictions on distribution rather than removing certain speech outright, its new head of trust and safety told Reuters.

"We're not going to remove your tweets, we just won't show them to anyone". Shadowbanning, in other words.

Have they talked any further about releasing the algorithm? I know that was one of Musks goals

Voice over: little did they know, they algorithm was a lie. It was all manual

  I know that was one of Musks goals

hahahahahahaha

oh wait, you were serious?

hahahahahahaha

Let's check in on one of Tickle me Elno's other goals: free speech. Kathy Griffin? Banned. Random South African dude who was tweeting Nazi quotes, pictures, and adoration? Not banned.

Maybe we should check in on one of Elno's other goals, the big Hunter Biden exposé that was set to go down today. Delayed. Aaaaaaand… crickets.

Elno doesn't have any goals he's just spewing word salad.

> Kathy Griffin? Banned. Random South African dude who was tweeting Nazi quotes, pictures, and adoration? Not banned.

Have you considered that the difference in follower size matters? Some random dude’s tweets have a much smaller blast radius and impact than someone like Kathy.

Also, her account isn’t banned anymore: https://mobile.twitter.com/kathygriffin

It works better in the original German.

Works okay in English too.
