  1. @ stevenl:
    The senate is trying to do something about it:

    The Senate Judiciary Committee will vote next week on whether to subpoena Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey after the company blocked a New York Post story on Joe Biden. Twitter said the article violated its rules on doxxing and hacked materials, as it contained images with “personal and private information — like email addresses and phone numbers.” Facebook also limited the spread of the report.

    Unfortunately,

    1. Twitter can probably drag this through the courts to well beyond the election, at exactly the same time that the system is overloaded trying to deal with the Democrat-induced voting chaos, and
    2. –much more importantly– If the Senate gets entangled in the Twitter business right now, this may impede the Supreme Court confirmation process.

    I smell Schumer’s presence in all of this.

    The best tack might be this:

    1. Ignore Twitter, and concentrate on getting Barrett confirmed
    2. Trump will bring these matters up at the Presidential Debate, even if that means interrupting the Biden-Mediator team continually.
    3. While the Senate is confirming Barrett, use as much of the rest of the government (exec. orders, etc.) as possible to go after Facebook and Twitter.
    4. Remind the “Masters of the Universe”, that their asses are in the sling after the election, with antitrust rulings, etc. and
    5. WIN THE ELECTION!

  2. Twit is a piece of “sh..t”!
    The senate keeps complaining about the f media MONOPOLY but DOES NOTHING to make the media accountable.

  3. Twitter locked the account of @TeamTrump, an official Trump campaign account, citing the same policy it used to ban links to the New York Post’s bombshell story on hitherto unrevealed links between Joe Biden and the Ukrainian gas giant Burisma. Mike Hahn, a social media manager for Team Trump, revealed the censorship in a tweet earlier today.

    “Twitter has suspended @TeamTrump for posting a video calling Joe Biden a liar who has been ripping off our country for years, as it relates to the @nypost article” said Hahn. He added the suspension comes “19 days out from the election.”

    According to the screen Hahn tweeted, the tweet violates the platform’s rules against “posting private information.”

    I wonder how a prominent article in the New York Post should be considered “private information” — especially since it covers something we’ve all known about for years.
