The Twitter Files: The Removal of Donald Trump

Clearly not worthy of being discussed on HN, groupthink at it’s best!

> Examining the entire election enforcement Slack, we didn’t see one reference to moderation requests from the Trump campaign, the Trump White House, or Republicans generally. We looked. They may exist: we were told they do. However, they were absent here.

Sure. Not one request from a single Republican was found despite their existence being known by others. So maybe those people are lying. Or maybe they are telling the truth, and as with Twitter Files parts 1 and 2, Musk is releasing to journalists a selective portion of the dataset that pushes his narrative.

Let’s see what Republicans were requesting Twitter do on Jan 6. Perhaps they were also requesting that Twitter do something about Trump?

We know they were begging Trump publicly on TV to stop. We know they were calling him privately. We also know (from the first Twitter Files) Republicans had no problem using back channel communication into Twitter to request enforcement of content. So we are to believe they despite trying everything else, they didn’t try their Twitter contacts?

Clearly another case of Russian interference in our elections!

This screed is simultaneously infuriating and boring.
