    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                            Tucker is eating this up

                            It is pretty bad

                            The twitter employees who did this are trash

                            The questions will be, did government officials use twitter to prevent free speech? And when will they be put in jail?

                                    At least this thread is somewhat more revelatory then #1. We all kind of knew ‘shadow banning’ of accounts was a thing, though Twitter denied it. I’m not sure how many people really believed their denials but now we have receipts.

                                    (Let’s remember Elon has announced he’ll retain the ‘shadow ban’ concept but at the tweet level rather than the account level)

                                    I’m waiting for the confirmation that they did stealth removal of followers for disfavored accounts. I saw enough complaints about it, usually with accompanying data, that I’ve always found it credible. Some was probably bot removal, especially back in the day when Trump would complain about it, but I have little doubt that some was real.

                                    Only non-witches get due process.

                                        We should just rename every Twitter thread “Bad First Amendment Takes”

                                        Granted you can dunk on the notion that this is a violation of the first amendment per se. Unfortunately for the left, that does not close the whole conversation.

                                        I shall continue to dunk, the left be damned.

                                        Only non-witches get due process.

                                          That's what Sam Harris did when he discussed this issue recently. He's capable of a more nuanced conversation, as I'm sure you are. There are other things about this to discuss beyond whether it is strictly unconstitutional.

                                          Education is extremely important.
