Elon Musk to reveal Twitter details on Hunter Biden Laptop

[Starlight]

Both sides could file a complaint but only one side had any real access to do so.

He doesn't say that. He says the Trump White House can and did file complaints.

He's of the personal view that leftists had more ways to file complaints, but he never backs that up with any real evidence.

Hence it would be nice to have an investigation into whether the Trump White House filing complaints was a breach of the first amendment. But Taibbi's not interested in that, because the point of Elon releasing all this info to him was to go after leftists. So he's got to pretend that the Biden campaign doing legal and yawn-worthy things is way way worse than the Trump White House violating the constitution.

I'm guessing Matt doesn't specify what the Trump admin did because there's no evidence of any discussion of it. We do have evidence of their discussions about subjects that hurt the democrats. So you'd either have to argue Elon is the one that held back emails of discussions about leftist suppression, or else, being that twitter was clearly predominantly left leaning, they ignored Trump admin requests for the most part.

Elon is clearly right wing and has openly advocated on the platform that people should vote Republican. The whole purpose of this release is to try and discredit democrats. Taibbi is clearly holding back any further information on the Trump White House's wrongdoing because he understands clearly that's what Elon wants him to do.

I don't understand why or what you think Matt is "holding back." He just gave his commentary on the released emails we all have access to. You would have to assume Elon is holding back emails because I doubt Matt was holding anything back.

What on earth are you talking about? Taibbi was given thousands of emails to look through. We do not 'all have access to' those. Out of those thousands he posted about 5.

I admit that's news to me, but I'm going to have to ask you for a (reliable and credible) source for that for more than obvious reasons.

BTW, ZH posted his twitter replies and there seems to be more than 5.

Another thing that's come to light is that Bari Weiss's release of information showed that Twitter had been giving preferential treatment to the far-right hate-account Libs Of TikTok. The behind-the-scenes shot she released showed management had put a flag on it preventing normal low-level mods from pinging it for infringements, and requiring an unusually high level of scrutiny before it was allowed to be judged as having broken the rules.

It has not been revealed yet just how many high-profile far-right accounts were given this extra level of protection from moderation by Twitter.

To be perfectly honest, I have no idea what that message at the top means and why it's there, but contrary to you interpretation (which is a sure bet it's usually wrong), they weren't giving LLT "preferential treatment." Here's some context from Weiss' own posts...

Sorry, but Elon is not right wing. He's been quite left wing until it became popular to hate him.

Much the same happened to Joe Rogan who is not remotely right wing but now gets tarred with that moniker because he took some medicine that Scientism didn't want to talk about.

Horse medicine only works for at home abortions in red states, mmkay.

I'll let you argue with yourself over this.

Musk still supports freedom of speech (just how much is being tested right now) -- something that used to be big deal to those on the left but now is considered by many of them to be a right wing trait. Something to be shunned.

Much the same happened to Joe Rogan who is not remotely right wing but now gets tarred with that moniker because he took some medicine that Scientism didn't want to talk about.

As the radical elements continue to gain power in the Democrat Party, you'll likely see continuing purges.

It's kind of like history repeating itself.

Sean has already dismantled your odd interpretation of the truth there, so I'll just add that what Libs of TikTok does is gather up what liberals themselves have posted and put them in one spot.

Definitely a hateful thing to do.

Their reposting various teachers boasting of what they're doing behind parents backs definitely torpedoed the false claim that it didn't happen. That it was nothing more than a deluded conspiracy theory. They allowed people to hear it from some teachers themselves.

For the hateful act of pulling back the curtain on this naturally triggered many on the left into fits of rage, such as how the WaPo reacted. They doxxed the owner. They tried to silence the owner by placing her life in imminent danger.

Didn't work.

I used to think SL was just the worst uninformed person there was, but now I'm starting to think he just wittingly lies about stuff. Like someone throwing food against the wall to see if it sticks, he just throws out lies and hopes that maybe one or two will get through and stick without someone calling him out.

As I explained before, it gives the user specially privileged immunity from run-of-the-mill moderation. Any run of the mill moderator who wants to moderate a post from that user, no longer can, and has to report the user to management instead.

Here's some context from Weiss' own posts...

Yes, that's where I saw it. Weiss posting this picture is being described as a "self-own" by Weiss because it shows the opposite of her agenda. It shows a far right conservative getting special privileges from twitter management when Weiss would like to try and show they got victimized by twitter management.

Note that the doxxing, and the choice to allow the doxxing to stay up both occurred under Musk's ownership. The previous Twitter administrators were giving this far right account special privileges against being moderated, while Elon Musk is letting her get doxxed.
