Extra Run: Twitter Files Part 2

Twitter is, was, and always will be a sewer...even if the pipes have a fresh coat of paint.

Bari Weiss is doing the next installment of the twitter files. Can view them all unrolled here.

Here are some snippets of what she found:

3. Take, for example, Stanford’s Dr. Jay Bhattacharya (@DrJBhattacharya) who argued that Covid lockdowns would harm children. Twitter secretly placed him on a “Trends Blacklist,” which prevented his tweets from trending.

4. Or consider the popular right-wing talk show host, Dan Bongino (@dbongino), who at one point was slapped with a “Search Blacklist.”

Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11
In Feb of 2019 Axios did an independent study and found I had the 2nd largest conservative Twitter account by engagement on the planet. Soon after I was labeled with "DO NOT AMPLIFY" by Twitter managment.

What I find interesting is in segment/tweet #12 where Ms. Weiss reveals the existence of the top tier of Twitter control officers.  “The group that decided whether to limit the reach of certain users was the Strategic Response Team – Global Escalation Team, or SRT-GET. It often handled up to 200 “cases” a day.”

I find it curious that Ms Bari Weiss mentioned several names in her expose’ yet failed to mention the name or curriculum vitae of the head for the Strategic Response Team, a fellow named Jeff Carlton.

Like former CIA head Mike Pompeo, Mr Jeff Carlton was a former U.S. Naval Intelligence Officer responsible for briefing White House officials where his responsibilities included his former work within the FBI counterintelligence division and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).  Apparently, these intelligence skillsets transferred nicely to his position as the head of Twitter’s Strategic Response Team.

Musk & Twitter, the saga continues. Quite interesting to see developments in the open.

Election interference on the platform ought to make people angry.

Wonder how we hold the government accountable for meddling with speech?
