Twexit updates

As U.S. president, Donald Trump receives special treatment from Twitter Inc. when he violates the company’s rules around offensive or misleading content. That exemption will end in January if he loses the presidency.

Twitter on Monday labeled a Trump tweet about mail-in voting as making a "potentially misleading claim about an election," and banned users from liking or sharing it.

On Friday Twitter stock took a 20 percent hit in net worth. The stock went from a high at 52.66 per share to 42.26 in the past 24 hours.

Twitter suspended U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Mark Morgan for a post celebrating the success of the U.S. southern border wall keeping violent criminals from reaching American communities.

The yearning for free expression is a thoroughly human aspiration and, unfortunately, so is the desire to control it. Big Tech is up to its prying eyeballs in both — opening new channels for expression it likes and squelching those it doesn’t.

Twitter is pulling out all the stops, with just 7 days left until the 2020 election.

Investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson said fact checks and information curation by big tech companies are “dangerous” as they are part of broader efforts by special interest groups to control and censor information that people see.

By immediately condemning the Hunter Biden emails and photos published by the New York Post as the work of Russian hackers colluding with Rudy Giuliani, the MSM destroyed any credibility it might have had.

They really don't want people to read it.

Parler, the people-driven free speech platform, is tallying the litany of examples occurring this week in which tech publishers flexed their content curation muscles to restrict or suppress the free flow of information in the run-up to the 2020 election. The information brownout is now well under way.

On this episode of The Federalist Radio Hour, Senior Editor Christopher Bedford joins Culture Editor Emily Jashinsky to break down big tech’s rising power and their recent attacks on the New York Post’s article detailing Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings.

This is a Big Tech information coup. This is digital civil war.

Facebook and Twitter decided to limit the distribution of a New York Post story that claims to show “smoking gun” emails related to Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his son.

Parler, the people-driven free speech platform, today criticized Facebook and Twitter for blocking the sharing of an article in The New York Post that presented emails and other digital evidence about an alleged pay-to-play scheme between Hunter Biden, a Ukrainian state-owned energy company, and then-Vice President Joe Biden.

Both Twitter and Facebook took extraordinary censorship measures against The Post on Wednesday over its exposés about Hunter Biden’s emails — and leveled baseless accusations that the reports used “hacked materials.”
