Journalist Matt Taibbi has released the third installment of the so-called “Twitter Files,” this time documenting the internal deliberations at the social media company that eventually led to the banning of Donald Trump. In a Twitter threat Taibbi exposed how company executives conspired with the FBI and Homeland Security while routinely violating their own policies to throttle accounts that were deemed “out of favor” for purely political reasons.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss Taibbi’s exhaustive revelations and their likely implications about tech industry censorship.

Real, live actual fascism.
And they feel they are superior. Icarus complex at its best!
Government goons directed the election of Joe Biden, perfect, just fucking perfect !
Twitter turns out to be an FBI/DHS/… instrument. I'm sure this is not just about manipulating and censuring, the entries can be used against you when things get (even) nastier.
save the planet _ -1%
The moment the "Twitter Files" info dump to Taibbi & Weiss started, we had our answer as to why the establishment has been going ape over Musk's Twitter takeover; they knew Musk might not play ball. The interesting question is how they knew; my guess is, when he started talking about buying Twitter, he was approached and told to drop it (and why he should) and he refused.
Someone should shame Bill Barr over this, repeatedly.
This continues to prove one thing for sure, the left is insane
Government spooks in every corner of Twitter. That is tantamount to treason what they did. They affected an election as intelligent assets!!!
Isn't drop boxes literally the easiest way to make fake votes?
Weird how today's fascists, censors and autocrats are on the left. Google / Youtube is run by fascists just as much as Twitter was.
Donald Trump started no new wars.
Let this be a lesson to future presidents.
War mongering a must for WH.
All the good will toward Russia SO not acceptable.
That is why Joe Biden was placed in the presidency,
Despite not getting enough votes to be in public office.
Nobody liked him even before his mind slipped over .
Except the deep state of course.
BEING THAT IM 31 AND IT WAS OBVIOUS THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I WAS 21 SEEING ALL THE YOUTUBERS TALK ABOUT THIS CONSTANTLY IS FUNNY. FOR THE REASON THAT ITS LIKE WHEN YOUR GRANDPARENTS FIRST DISCOVERED THE INTERNET . THE YOUTUBERS ARE THE GRANDPARENTS WHOM SINCE FINALLY FACING THE REPROCATIONS EVERYONE ELSE HAS HAD TO FACE FOR YEARS ARE NOW WILLING TO TALK ABOUT IT IN PUBLIC. AND WHAT CONVENIENET TIMING THIS ALL IS FOR ELON CUCK
2020 was stolen. Threats from up top won't change that. They also don't change what's coming for those up top when they are prosecuted.
It's crazy how the word fascism has left the lexicon now that Trump is out of office. If the FBI is working with Twitter to silence critics and hide important information to benefit one side over the other is fascism.
Look at the ends they have gone to try to deal with this one man.
You gotta think what TF does he REALLY have on all these ppl?
Imagine saying "a 2% error rate is fine" when most of our elections are at least allegedly decided by less than 1% of votes in a handful of counties.
All the current late night show hosts are total shills with talking points from intelligence
When the argument arises:
Twitter can decide who can do what on their platform. If they want to ban someone, it's their platform.
The problem with this argument is that the censorship was at the direction of the government, which completely nullifies the above stance.
It's not that hard understanding but it's exceedingly difficult to tell a Democrat this. They just do not get what freedom of speech is or how the first amendment is an issue here.
It's simple, the government basically directed Twitter to do this. It's much worse than just if a company were involved. Let me repeat one last time: A government agency pressured/directed/advised a company to censor pertainant information to help misinformation make an election easier to win for a political party. This is some serious stuff!
Twatter, never have never will. Twatter is gay. Everyone with a brain doesn't use Twatter or Bookface. Brain rot echo chambers that block one sides views… No thanks. News flash none of these pedophiles will be charged or see prison.
Everyime I watch JDS i get forced to sit through 6x hour long adverts, i like to chill with the audio playing but this adverts are getting ridiculous.
You will see the same at Facebook and also on Wikipedia!
Hey Kurt, dipshit, check Biden's margin of victory in the swing States that gave him the electoral votes to win. Compare that against even the most Biden-favorable error rate. You'll quickly discover that this election could have EASILY swung in Trump's favor. Don't forget, Trump was ahead in almost all swings States election night before most of these States stop counting votes that night. Then the next morning when vote counting resumed Biden immediately surged ahead in these same States. You can't be intellectually honest and not question that even a little.
1984? Everyone needs to read this book & highlight everything that's already happened. It's a real eye opener!
These people are certifiable!
So cool.
Jody Hice is a man
But like Sam Harris said, this had to be done
People aren’t capable at looking at evidence and comprehend it if it doesn’t fit their world view, demoralization done my marxists since the 1960s. Those who advocating for socialism will be very angry when they see it in practice.
