Can you provide specific examples of these “blatant lies”? For example, Taibbi’s earlier dumps showed that the testimony to Congress was accurate.

“We don’t shadow ban”

Clearly true – as shown by the Twitter they followed their stated policies, as explained in the public interviews they did back in 2018.

Bari Weiss tried to misrepresent what shadow banning means but especially here I’d expect people to be familiar with what the term means.

I really hope this gets through to the person you’re responding to. This stuff isn’t hard to find. It feels like every time they make one of these threads it’s so full of misrepresentations that they might as well be spitting in the faces of their supporters.

Is there a theme here where Musk & co are trying to redefine what words mean to poison debate?
