Matt Taibbi's opening statement on the Twitter Files and the censorship industrial complex:
"Twitter, Facebook, Google, and other companies developed a formal system for taking in moderation requests from every corner of government, from the FBI, DHS, HHS, DOD, the Global… https://t.co/WiLeCYXmvx pic.twitter.com/BbMoSYNiR2

How could Texas elect the great Ron Paul and this asshole? And from the same area.
When you figure that out, be sure and let us know. Seriously.
I don’t know if it matters but RP’s district is largely white and hers is, ahem…not.
So, not the same area?
CC, you seem to think that voting still matters.
Certainly not in national elections but the smaller the voting block the more accurately it serves the people’s best interests. I grew up in a small New England town and the local selectmen were professional people, educators, medical professionals, etc and it worked well. They had to actually live with the results of their own decisions. That tends to focus the mind. BTY if I ever get the chance to vote for another Ron Paul I will leap at it. One more thing, if RFK, Jr runs for president I’ll knock on doors for him because he’ll win, and MAGA? No, but to stick a thumb in the cyclop’s eye. We fight at all fronts.
This was held away from his defense team? This is the very essence of exculpatory evidence.
Reinforcing a narrative that these entities- Twitter, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Tesla, etc. are organic and the result of individuals inventing or innovating to create private companies- leaves us right where we started.
It should be self evident that everything- including wht we think of s the US Government- are Potempkin villages operating as both cover for and financing of a covert and clandestine operation controlled by those with no allegiance to either the truth or the people.
This gives a fig leaf for them to say, “oops, we messed up, promise not to do that again” and then continue on with their operations as if none of this occurred.
It all has to go. If any of it remains, they continue to hold the reins.
Sage outlook.
Yes. This is just another chapter in social media animal farm.
The premise that those entities aren’t just organic – but also necessary, is that what is being fought for and protected by these carefully constructed truthy releases by the gatekeeper squad.
The corruption by design is ignored in favor of the notion that this “tech” is essential to the very things these institutions were created to control: ‘free speech’ and expression, individual liberty, the [virtual] public commons, the ‘free market’, and so on. It all feeds back into the progressive narrative that we need to remain in the paddock, always onward deeper into the muck.
Any thought criminal worth his salt knows full well that this “formal system of censorship” existed long before it started jumping the social media sharks because it is the same people, systems, and converged institutions that formalized the censorship-blackball system within what we used to just call polite society in meatspace.
The desperation to preserve these chambers is a red flag on its own. That men desire to prop up these shorthand facsimiles of feminized junior-high mean girl frenemy circles as citadels of the culture worth fighting for is unfortunate but just another example of the great divide.
Yes
Don’t worry, dude.
The independent and legitimate Swedish media will expose everything the “American” media refused to cover.
Oh.
“developed a formal system for taking in moderation requests”
So, is this worse than if they were only doing it informally?
