Bari Weiss Twitter Files Reveal Systematic 'Blacklisting'

Reason does a nice job of laying out how Bari Weiss' Tweet Thread shows how Twitter employees shadow banned users. 

You can read Bari Weiss's Twitter File thread here.

A few observations on the Twitter Files:

  • What was done in the darkness is being brought out into the light and what it's showing is not a cold sore - it's herpes
  • As both Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss primarily publish on Substack - that platform is perhaps the biggest winner here. Substack will shortly become the most trusted source of journalism in the country
  • Elon Musk, however, wisely stipulated that whatever information is found must first be published on Twitter which I'm sure is driving up engagement (and trust) on his platform
  • What's being exposed at Twitter (pre-Elon) is still happening on Facebook and YouTube. Keep that in mind when engaging on those platforms
  • There is so much that needs to be exposed and will be exposed that this will be a long running series of "Twitter Files"
  • Know many are anxious for the suppression of COVID related revelations to come out but I think Musk has rightly prioritized exposing how Twitter suppressed information and how the government was sometimes behind that suppression. That needs to be shown first and foremost before other issues are addressed.
