Oh, it's even better than that. Taibbi shows you emails of some DNC person reporting tweets, but neglects to show you the actual tweets in question: Chinese Spam Bots and revenge porn.

Truly the smoking gun. The irony is the misdirection worked, people in this thread are frothing at their mouths unable to tell who even was in government in 2020.

Nah you are definitely trying to minimize this. At this point it is clear that you have political parties (let's be honest, it's really just one political party, coincidentally the one that receives >99% of twitter's political donations) colluding in secret with high level people in twitter (whose political affiliations, curiously enough, are quite different from a random population sample) to censor a news story that could have a big effect on a national election.

I don't have any particularly strong feelings about Matt Taibbi, I just want to read through these files myself and form my own opinions instead of having reality mediated to me by an Approved Professional

There’s nothing in that thread that shows this. We only see a moderation team discussing about a report from someone in the Biden team about some dick picks posted on Twitter.

how do you find what the removed tweets are?

The internet archive. I checked the first tweet in the screenshot myself and yep it was hunter's nudes.

Lol nothing is ever gone. Thanks!
