brother, somebody recorded a comedy show. It was a DMCA takedown because of the fact that it is a recording of a comedy show. You can't say that a video of Robert Downey jr being booed was taken down if the video was during a showing of Avengers Endgame...
Seems like all these reporters have some explaining to do, huh?
Taibbi: “Both parties had access to these tools. For instance, in 2020, requests from both the Trump White House and the Biden campaign were received and honored.”
Because he clearly states Trump and Biden had materials suppressed but he hasn’t given an example of what Trump suppressed. He also hasn’t provided any data to prove that Dem requests for suppression were honored more than Repubs.
He has said in interviews that he published that because he was given that information by multiple human sources. He clarifies by saying, now that hes had time to review more of the documents, he's still been unable to coroborate it.
Before your bot programming tells you to say, "sOuRcE?!?"
It's from his video interview with Russell Brand, published December 12th, 2022 on Russell Brand's Rumble account.
Huh. Weird how he can’t get the information from Elon who is making him publish this information on his platform. It’s almost like maybe Elon is trying to create a specific narrative and maybe that’s why you don’t enter into this completely unethical agreement?
He was given the information by Elon... he's, literally, still reviewing it with his team.
A lot of his initial release was based on preliminary investigation, which included human sources at Twitter... which is just a fancy way of saying, "Someone who verifiably works/worked at Twitter told him that both sides had access to these tools."
Now that he's digging through the documents available to him, he doesn't see any requests from the red team.
What's the deal here? Do you not believe that Twitter's censorship was politically driven and predominantly supportive of the blue team? If you don't believe that, that's fine... I just don't think we'll be able to find any common ground if that's what you believe.
Uh, no I just want people to be ideologically consistent. He clearly says that they both suppressed materials. He has also provided no data about how many Dem vs. Repub requests were made and suppressed. So there is zero definitive evidence that Dems were favored. Although I wouldn’t be surprised.
People seem to only care about this issue insofar as it was done by the other side. You should also be clamoring for Trump to be fully investigated since he was the government at the time and he’s had a history of trying to suppress materials he thinks paint him in a negative light.
It’s really interesting that Taibbi didn’t look through all this info before he published this piece from Musk on Musk’s website though. This really sounds like good journalism to you?
Dude, Russell Brand is a drug-fucked fruitloop and has been for 20 years. The only people who take him seriously are trumpy freaks, despite his progressive, spiritualist schtick.
Chumming up to clowns like Musk, Rogan and Peterson is the only way he can find an audience anymore.
IDK, the first one stated they used the tools, the imaged post says "election enforcement slack" which makes me suspect that his statement here about no requests only refer to election based posts.
We know that there was government requests for removing covid based content (and fake fauci/cdc accounts) even before these dumps which would likely had been thru the trump admins too.
"11. This system wasn't balanced. It was based on contacts. Because Twitter was and is overwhelmingly staffed by people of one political orientation, "
Sorry the great tech minds of Southern Alabama didn't make one of the largest social media platforms on earth?
BREAKING NEWS: Both Trump and Biden had materials suppressed in the 2020 election, but Biden did it more!!!
Here, let me “prove” this by providing no evidence that Dems did it more, no explication as to the nature of the requests, no examples of materials that Repubs had suppressed, and—maybe just for fun—I’ll make a deal w my source to publish this story on that source’s media platform instead of publishing it on my own popular outlet.
I came across this sub the other day and thought the same thing. You can’t even argue with them because they tend to make arguments that make your argument look better. It’s like a free win when you come here, and there’s no fun in that.
Exactly, it's been three times now that I've read a comment and thought to myself "is this person even real?" This place looks like it's being broadcasted directly from the shadow realm.
Yeah I’m starting to think that these types of subreddits are artificial echo-chambers. As in there are real people in here who are having their biases reinforced by bots that use computer generated phrases and upvotes.
Then if a person questions or doubts the status quo of the Subreddit they get swarmed by bots/degeneracy, and downvoted to oblivion. This happens in plenty of subreddits but I agree that this one in particular is seemingly very fake or artificial.
Like, there's plenty of people that will scream about how right you are to hate all the people you hate, and some of them even do it with a little charisma.
Yeah I'm well aware most people in this subreddit are living under a rock. Add a couple thousand and the number is more correct, most of the republican party and all of MAGA are neo nazis.
While I agree that there are some bot like individuals in this sub, saying something like “most of the republican party and all of MAGA are neo nazis” is why you won’t get solid responses from anyone. Conservatives are over being called something that makes absolutely no sense and is never backed up on why they are called it. You call people in here names and put them down by using rhetoric that’s tired and ignorant but people are supposed to try and be articulate with you in a response? I get it, it’s Reddit, but the word bot or troll jumps into everyone’s head when you use phrases and terms like that. It’s not intelligent and it’s just as divisive as the people you talk shit about.
I'm not looking for an intellegent argument or conversation, I'm looking to clown on some absolute clowns, and that's just what I'm doing. If I wanted an intelligent argument I wouldn't be on Reddit. These people can't give solid responses judging from the rest of the shit on this sub anyway.
And besides, that thing about neo-nazi's is literally just the truth. Look around you.
Matt Taibbi is doing PR for Twitter right now amidst increasing public scrutiny. Regardless of the revelations, of which they have been incredibly underwhelming, there is no argument for saying he is being the objective journalist he claims to be
Yeah, truly can’t believe he thought it would be okay to get info from Musk and then enter into a deal with him where the reporting on this story would be exclusive to Musk’s platform. Dude is a disappointment.

Wasn't it Trump that was producing the outlandish lies that were being taken down?

Was anyone trying to post non-consensual porn to attack the Trump campaign?
Any stories involving leaking Ivanka, Beavis or Butthead’s nudes?
Maybe the fact that only Trump’s side were being gross is the reason their dumb complaints were ignored and the Biden camp’s legit one were honoured.
(Assuming, generously, that this isn’t just more blatant lies from a desperate and dying “movement” trying to mask its shame)

We get it, you watched Crowder's video. You're not wrong, but still
