It appears the second installment of the Twitter Files was released last night

this time focused on "shadowbanning".

From what I'm reading, it's an even bigger bust than the first.

Of course Twitter didn't push all the RW lunatic theories and rhetoric.

Maybe that's why Elton John left.

1. maybe Elton was just tired of the BS from Musk. Could be.

2. The Bari Weiss Twitter thread is here. It's content moderation to me

Basically a couple rightwing nut jobs no one should take seriously (Charlie Kirk and Dan Bondingo) were not amplified or not allowed to go viral. A Dr. who doubted shutting down schools was also squeezed. There was plenty of other people saying he same things. It looks like there were “shadow bans” and a couple Twitter execs said there weren’t.

Looks like it was just content moderation. You may not like it but Twitter ain’t a street corner.

4. That's a question for the ages

I used to live his writing.

The first round of Twitter files was about not being able to post pictures of Hunter’s junk.
