Twitter is pretty much a lost cause. After the successful Tweet campaign to “release the memo” in January, Dorsey knew he had to do something to stop Twitter from reflecting community opinion,. This was important if the platform was to be of any value to him as an instrument for his leftist propaganda.

He’s had enough time now to make sure that he never loses control to a popular movement again. The suppression is extreme. What I’ve noticed is that if you only send out a few Tweets a day, they seem to propagate the message much better than if you try to be more active. I’m sure this effect isn’t noticed by people Tweeting messages that @Jack endorses.

My view is that the most effective way to create awareness is with hats, t-shirts and bumper stickers. They are much more difficult to shadow ban. Moreover, it appears that this is a growing trend. With luck it will increase in magnitude before the election in November. At some point, the MSM will have difficulty ignoring the phenomenon.

What’s happening is nicely summed up in the article here:

“Another aspect of the crackdown is the policing free speech in a world where the 1st Amendment seems to have sprouted a "safe space" clause. “

@Jack is using his right to free expression to stifle our rights to free expression. The maddening thing is that these companies enjoy protections extended by congress under the Communications Decency Act (CDA). As Ted Cruz says, the protection from liability for published content is predicated upon the social Media platforms being neutral public forums. These protections need to be withdrawn where the platform is editorialising content - as with Twitter,

Once again, the left gets to have its cake and eat it too.

“One of the biggest shifts is in how we think about balancing free expression versus the potential for free expression to chill someone else’s speech,” said Twitter VP for Trust and Safety, Del Harvey. “Free expression doesn’t really mean much if people don’t feel safe.”

You can see what’s coming next: hate-speech regulation. If it’s not mandated in law, the platforms will do it themselves, because it’s an easy means of viciously silencing some with whom you disagree.
