THE TWITTER FILES - PART ONE
TWITTER AND THE HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP STORY


Recounting the internal drama at Twitter surrounding the decision to block access to a New York Post exposé on Hunter Biden in October, 2020.

Key revelations: Twitter blocked the story on the basis of its “hacked materials” policy, but executives internally knew the decision was problematic. “Can we truthfully claim that this is part of the policy?” is how comms official Brandon Borrman put it. Also: when a Twitter contractor polls members of Congress about the decision, they hear Democratic members want more moderation, not less, and “the First Amendment isn’t absolute.”


THE TWITTER FILES - PART ONE SUPPLEMENTAL
THE “EXITING” OF TWITTER DEPUTY GENERAL COUNSEL JIM BAKER


A second round of Twitter Files releases was delayed, as new addition Bari Weiss discovers former FBI General Counsel and Twitter Deputy General Counsel Jim Baker was reviewing the first batches of Twitter Files documents, whose delivery to reporters had slowed.


THE TWITTER FILES - PART TWO
TWITTER’S SECRET BLACKLISTS.


Bari Weiss gives a long-awaited answer to the question, “Was Twitter shadow-banning people?” It did, only the company calls it “visibility filtering.” Twitter also had a separate, higher council called SIP-PES that decided cases for high-visibility, controversial accounts.

Key revelations: Twitter had a huge toolbox for controlling the visibility of any user, including a “Search Blacklist” (for Dan Bongino), a “Trends Blacklist” for Stanford’s Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, and a “Do Not Amplify” setting for conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Weiss quotes a Twitter employee: “Think about visibility filtering as being a way for us to suppress what people see to different levels. It’s a very powerful tool.” With help from @abigailshrier, @shellenbergermd, @nelliebowles, and @isaacgrafstein.


THE TWITTER FILES - PART THREE
THE REMOVAL OF DONALD TRUMP - October 2020 - January 6th


First in a three-part series looking at how Twitter came to the decision to suspend Donald Trump. The idea behind the series is to show how all of Twitter’s “visibility filtering” tools were on display and deployed after January 6th, 2021.

Key Revelations: Trust and Safety chief Yoel Roth not only met regularly with the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, but with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). Also, Twitter was aggressively applying “visibility filtering” tools to Trump well before the election.


THE TWITTER FILES - PART FOUR
THE REMOVAL OF DONALD TRUMP - January 7


This thread by Michael Shellenberger looks at the key day after the J6 riots and before Trump would ultimately be banned from Twitter on January 8th, showing how Twitter internally reconfigured its rules to make a Trump ban fit their policies.

Key revelations: at least one Twitter employee worried about a “slippery slope” in which “an online platform CEO with a global presence… can gatekeep speech for the entire world,” only to be shot down. Also, chief censor Roth argues for a ban on congressman Matt Gaetz even though it “doesn’t quite fit anywhere (duh),” and Twitter changed its “public interest policy” to clear a path for Trump’s removal.


THE TWITTER FILES - PART FIVE
THE REMOVAL OF TRUMP FROM TWITTER.


As angry as many inside Twitter were with Donald Trump after the January 6th Capitol riots, staffers struggled to suspend his account, saying things like, “I think we’d have a hard time saying this is incitement.” As documented by Weiss, they found a way to pull the trigger anyway.

Key revelations: there were dissenters in the company (“Maybe because I am from China,” said one employee, “I deeply understand how censorship can destroy the public conversation”), but are overruled by senior executives like Vijaya Gadde and Roth, who noted many on Twitter’s staff were citing the “Banality of Evil,” and comparing those who favored sticking to a strict legalistic interpretation of Twitter’s rules — i.e. keep Trump, who had “no violation” — to “Nazis following orders.”


THE TWITTER FILES - PART SIX
THE FBI SUBSIDIARY


Twitter’s contact with the FBI was “constant and pervasive,” as FBI personnel, mainly in the San Francisco field office, regularly sent lists of “reports” to Twitter, often about Americans with low follower counts making joke tweets. Tweeters on both the left and the right were affected.

Key revelations: A senior Twitter executive reports, “FBI was adamant no impediments to sharing” classified information exist. Twitter also agreed to “bounce” content on the recommendations of a wide array of governmental and quasi-governmental actors, from the FBI to the Homeland Security agency CISA to Stanford’s Election Integrity Project to state governments. The company one day received so many moderation requests from the FBI, an executive congratulated staffers at the end for completing the “monumental undertaking.”


THE TWITTER FILES - PART SEVEN
THE FBI AND TTHE HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP


The Twitter Files story increases its focus on the company’s relationship to federal law enforcement and intelligence, and shows intense communication between the FBI and Twitter just before the release of the Post’s Hunter Biden story.

Key Revelations: San Francisco agent Elvis Chan “sends 10 documents to Twitter’s then-Head of Site Integrity, Yoel Roth, through Teleporter, a one-way communications channel from the FBI to Twitter,” the evening before the release of the Post story. Also, Baker in an email explains Twitter was compensated for “processing requests” by the FBI, saying “I am happy to report we have collected $3,415,323 since October 2019!”


THE TWITTER FILES - PART EIGHT
TWITTER AND PENTAGON'S COVERT ONLINE PSYOP CAMPAIGN


RELATED ARTICLE
https://theintercept.com/2022/12/20/twitter-dod-us-military-accounts
Lee Fang takes a fascinating detour, looking at how Twitter for years approved and supported Pentagon-backed covert operations. Noting the company explicitly testified to Congress that it didn’t allow such behavior, the platform nonetheless was a clear partner in state-backed programs involving fake accounts.

Key revelations: after the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) sent over a list of 52 Arab-language accounts “we use to amplify certain messages,” Twitter agreed to “whitelist” them. Ultimately the program would be outed in the Washington Post in 2022 — two years after Twitter and other platforms stopped assisting — but contrary to what came out in those reports, Twitter knew about and/or assisted in these programs for at least three years, from 2017-2020.


THE TWITTER FILES
TWITTER AND "OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES"


https://taibbi.substack.com/p/twitter-files-thread-the-spies-who
The Christmas Eve thread (I should have waited a few days to publish!) further details how the channels of communication between the federal government and Twitter operated, and reveals that Twitter directly or indirectly received lists of flagged content from “Other Government Agencies,” i.e. the CIA.

Key revelations: CIA officials attended at least one conference with Twitter in the summer of 2020, and companies like Twitter and Facebook received “OGA briefings,” at their regular “industry” meetings held in conjunction with the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security. The FBI and the “Foreign Influence Task Force” met regularly “not just with Twitter, but with Yahoo!, Twitch, Cloudfare, LinkedIn, even Wikimedia.”


THE TWITTER FILES: HOW TWITTER RIGGED THE COVID DEBATE

David Zweig drills down into how Twitter throttled down information about COVID that was true but perhaps inconvenient for public officials, “discrediting doctors and other experts who disagreed.”

Key Revelations: Zweig found memos from Twitter personnel who’d liaised with Biden administration officials who were “very angry” that Twitter had not deplatformed more accounts. White House officials for instance wanted attention on reporter Alex Berenson. Zweig also found “countless” instances of Twitter banning or labeling “misleading” accounts that were true or merely controversial. A Rhode Island physician named Andrew Bostom, for instance, was suspended for, among other things, referring to the results of a peer-reviewed study on mRNA vaccines.


THE TWITTER FILES: HOW TWITTER LET THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY IN


THE TWITTER FILES: TWITTER AND THE FBI “BELLY BUTTON”

These two threads focus respectively on the second half of 2017, and a period stretching roughly from summer of 2020 through the present. The first describes how Twitter fell under pressure from Congress and the media to produce “material” showing a conspiracy of Russian accounts on their platform, and the second shows how Twitter tried to resist fulfilling moderation requests for the State Department, but ultimately agreed to let State and other agencies send requests through the FBI, which agent Chan calls “the belly button of the USG.” Revelations: at the close of 2017, Twitter makes a key internal decision. Outwardly, the company would claim independence and promise that content would only be removed at “our sole discretion.” The internal guidance says, in writing, that Twitter will remove accounts “identified by the U.S. intelligence community” as “identified by the U.S.. intelligence community as a state-sponsored entity conducting cyber-operations.”

The second thread shows how Twitter took in requests from everyone — Treasury, HHS, NSA, FBI, DHS, etc. — and also received personal requests from politicians like Democratic congressman Adam Schiff, who asked to have journalist Paul Sperry suspended.

Now he wants to buy it!

"Since making my investment I now realize the company will neither thrive nor serve this societal imperative in its current form. Twitter needs to be transformed as a private company," Musk said in a letter to Twitter Chairman Bret Taylor.

Re-filed:

Elon Musk refiled the disclosure of his stake in Twitter Inc. to classify himself as an active investor, making the change after taking a seat on the social media company’s board.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is putting his enormous sums of money where his tweets are at.

It was disclosed on Monday that the somewhat unpredictable Musk took a 9.2% stake in Twitter. The stake — valued at close to $3 billion as of Twitter's closing price on Friday — is defined as a passive one.
View Quote


While Musk's stake in Twitter is passive, it could turn on a dime, said Tesla bull and Elon watcher Dan Ives of Wedbush.

"We would expect this passive stake as just the start of broader conversations with the Twitter board/management that could ultimately lead to an active stake and a potential more aggressive ownership role of Twitter," Ives said.

I’ve been in the data center networking space for about a decade. I cut my teeth on Catalyst 6500s and 4500s, and these days, I mostly work on Nexus 9k stuff.

Elon Musk relying on AWS or Google Cloud is a bad idea for the same reason he bought Twitter to begin with. He might be quick with the “I’ll just make my own ____” comments, but hosting is one he should give serious consideration.

While some others are quick to dismiss you, I'll say that not everything you've said is without merit. Now, having said that, Musk is not an idiot and has built multiple multibillion dollar companies doing some very complex things at the cutting edge of technology. He also didn't buy twitter with 44B of his own cash money. Not only is he very smart, he also knows he is accountable to others who have a stake.

All that to say, I'd bet good money he knows what he is doing and if he makes some mistakes, it won't be the end of the company. In fact I believe his biggest issue will be dealing with explosive growth and even he kept all the woke leftists it still would likely have been an issue IMO (I'm speaking from a strictly technical/infrastructure aspect).

Very telling about female nature.

Yup. If this was written by men, you’d have the ruling class men fighting wars against each other for the hand of a Filipina shop clerk because she’s one of the last fertile women on earth. And the CHAD that won her wouldn’t be sharing.

“Apple turned off a private communication tool in China just before major protests broke out”
“Earlier this month, Apple restricted the use of AirDrop in China. The file-sharing tool for iOS was used by protesters to communicate freely without the risk of censorship, because the tool uses direct connections between devices, creating a local network that cannot be monitored by government internet regulators.”

Just sayin…cat6500 and cat4500 have been end of sale and life for well over a decade.

Modern data centers need maybe 4-10 guys on-site. Like a google or Facebook DC. Start a new thread.

Musk sends rockets and lands them on a fucking postage stamp. I think he understands compute and infrastructure.  

Twitter?  That’s easy sauce.

You do know that google is what they are because “I’ll just build my own”, right?  AWS?  I’ll just build my own.

Like when Obama was president and his administration constantly attacked Fox News and tried to act like they are some two-bit operation not in the same league as NBC or CNN.

If the NYT or WAPO were a threat they'd be going after them, too.

Having a majority of the news media and online platforms on their side isn't enough. Look at what they did to competing social media efforts that have popped up. They rally around taking action to ensure no one can really challenge the status quo.

Question.

Do you guys predict Elon winning this in the end or will the world governments and corporations smash him down?

If Musk does win. Will it actually do anything to reverse the damage already done? Will all of us meme’ing actually change anything or is it just fun?

And if there's a person I would try to try a smartphone-startup and go after GM/Ford/Volkswagen Google/Apple and beat them to a market they weren't servicing the right way, it's probably Musk.

Microsoft poured in billions and couldn't get even a sliver of market share, and they sponsored the shit out of companies to make apps for their phones.

The biggest challenge is not making the phone, or even the operating system. The two biggest issues are getting people to buy the thing, and getting companies to support it.

I don't think he would have issues with getting an initial surge of hype purchases. What I do doubt is finding companies that are willing to port their apps to yet another ecosystem that's unproven to their eyes, especially when we see that companies will disregard profit to make a statement (i.e., pull advertising from Twitter because of feelings).

I think social media played a huge role in 2016 in electing Trump which is why FB and others were so quick to shut that down for 2020. They spent a lot of time banning the most influential accounts. People known for producing memes were banned.

They also used control over social media to silence dissent around the COVID response by using the excuse of public safety and science. People self-censor when they fear getting banned or their posts labeled as misinformation. This creates a false consensus bias when instead of seeing posts with angry people about COVID rules and lockdowns there is an onslaught of government propaganda being thrown in your face.

Time will tell how successful Elon can be with Twitter but I am pretty hopeful about the direction he's going so far.

I follow you. I get it.

But don’t you think if it was that important helping them win elections then they will have to shut it down?

If they can’t control it won’t they lose? They can’t have that.

He captured the factory where much of their psyops were assembled and pushed out to the media shipping lanes.
Their supply lines have been halved at minimum. Their ability to craft talking points, push it out fast and shame their neighbors into compliance has been slowed down dramatically.

This is also "their home base", their BIG spot on the internet where every leftie tells the story about how their 7 month old asked them, "Mother, why didst Justice Thomas write that awful Supreme Court opinion?"
It's home turf.

This is demoralizing, the potential is that their power (culturally) is dramatically diminished.
I expect them to fight, but if Twitter can succeed, and advertisers return?
The WEF and frens have to use more capital (and look more fascist, risking red-pilling more normies) to push back on it.

A prediction? The cultural pendulum stopped moving and is now swinging the other way. We are watching it right now.

I don't want to see them silenced the same way our side was but the people who were banned were influential enough to combat them.

A big part of the reason Twitter became their 'home turf' is that opposing voices were silenced so the place became an echo chamber.

Getting the right-wing influential people back on the platform also has the effect of getting more regular users on our side back on there which is another thing that helps combat their influence.

thank you for giving me a good laugh from that bullshit that gets posted.. half these people dont know how to run anything.. twitter is literally some servers.. internet and some moderation.. its not a HUGE science and rocket technology department. if any person here seriously thinks twitter cant be mostly run with the team shown in the pictures, they need to have their head examined.. its NOT ROCKET SURGERY!

They sure as hell won't
But I honestly think they don't know what to do. They don't know what comes next.

There's that thing about "always fighting the last war".
- To beat the GOPe they needed only to shame them enough. (Musk has aspergers and is the world's richest man)
- To beat a Business that wasn't down with ESG, threaten the stock. (Elon wants to take Twitter private right?)
- To beat a Trump, they would wait until he has a verbal interception - and whoooosh "akshulllllly You Have To Admit He Steps In ItTM" says your Karen-neighbor who has no comment on Fetterman or Hank "Guam-Tipper" Johnson.


Musk doesn't have those flaws.
They don't have gamefilm on what to do.
They've always had some other excuse they craft, then push on twitter, which filters into the media, (and fast!) into public outrage, to get their footsoldiers into action.
He took the megaphone.
They haven't REALLY had to play defense before on a counter trend pointed at them, then sustained and grown via social media - not in a looong time.

I hope we see:
- What the .gov asked them to censor, and who, and when
- What trends they pushed on us
- What trends they blocked

What's weird is, it would "confirm" things for us, it would be revealing to the left that Santa isn't real (demoralizing effect, if you press on the wound), and enlightening for the normies.

Absolutely.
Know who should be banned?
Antifa accounts, ISIS accounts, and the people posting the content that twitter couldn't do annnything about, until Suddenly a week after Elon bought it, it was gone.

The leftie-nobody bluecheckmarks should not be banned. Their speech should be heard, and arguments challenged.

Antifa type accounts liked to doxx people but rarely got banned for it despite being against the rules. The old Twitter would stretch the rules to ban right-wingers or not even both giving an explanation.

I actually prefer a pretty limited set of rules and believe the best disinfectant is shining a light on the worst parts of society or the world at large.

In looking for this meme, oddly enough it brought me back to the forum.
The thread about The Honkening, the Canadian trucker protest

https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/144599/1643751622488_jpg-2618203.JPG

And I'm realizing I think that's what we need to do guys. Get on Twitter (which was the left wing bulletin board,) and commence the honkening part 2.
