    So that makes the democrat censorship collusion, which was far more vast, OK in your mind?

    You know, I know, we all know, Twitter was working for democrats, why do you think democrats are so insane right now about Twitter being neutral with their content?

    That was a legit news story, the laptop actually existed to the point where democrats called the info on it Russian disinformation. It was a real story, the NY Post had their account suspended, people couldn't share links to the story on Twitter, and so on. Even the liberal cable news media called the story fake and had 51 intelligence experts comment on it. The story was everywhere except on Twitter. Why?

    How is it “being neutral” when the owner is only attacking one party and telling people to vote for the other party?

    The FBI is part of the government, is it not?

    The FBI was asking Twitter to censor “thoughts” because they didn’t agree with them.

    The article didn’t mention that — do you have a source for that as I may have missed it.

    Jim Baker. Yeah, THAT Jim Baker. The same Jim Baker who was part of the FBI and who was in thick with the rest of the FBI leadership who perpetrated the Trump/Russia hoax and took part in their corruption.

    Sounds like he was running interference for the government at Twitter, too.

    The only thing I don't understand is why Musk didn't know about this when he took control of Twitter. I mean, we've known Baker was working for Twitter years ago.

    The same Jim Baker! I wonder that as well. I would have figured he would have been walked out the door within minutes of Musk walking in the door.

    Does anyone believe that Baker was acting on his own to suppress the release of more Hunter files? Hmm.

    What is clear right now is he, himself, jiggered with the "Twitter Files" that were released to Taibbi last week.

    It's likely he has had a hand in every suppression of conservatives by Twitter since the day he was hired and it is also likely he was working hand in glove as a go-between for the corrupt government and the Twitter leadership.

    He wasn't fired because he was stealing Scooby snacks. He was fired quickly after it was discovered that he was reviewing the files over Hunter laptop matter. He most likely was looking for anything that would implicate him in the censorship effort.

    First off, does ANYONE of any integrity believe that Elon Musk is going to be honest about anything ?

    Do you all not see that this publicity that he is creating is good for HIM and his company ?

    This “twitter files” publicity has been great for Twitter. And it had its intended effect, which was to forward a political agenda. Hell the right thinks Twitter effected the last election in favor of democrats because they refuse to even read the damn report. Thats in itself is whats driving Elon to push this further. The infighting is good of business for him.

    More honest than Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff, Jack Dorsey, Mark Zuckerberg, that idiot that slept with Fang Fang and a lot of other far leftists.

    Yes. It's also good for free speech.

    Twitetr is breaking The FBI and the far left radical government that rigged the 2020 election. :)

    Censuring speech is censuring thoughts.

    Musk isn't getting all that much publicity out of the release of the Twitter Files - except negative publicity from the attacks from the media. Mostly, the media has been ignoring the issue.

    Ok — I was specifically asking what governmental agency was censoring speech on Twitter. I was told the FBI was doing it and asked for a source.

    No you didn't ask anything you made this statement, not a question.

    "The FBI was asking Twitter to censor “thoughts” because they didn’t agree with them."

    You did ask were an article mentioned that.

    I was responding to your statement not you're desperate attempt to deny something.

    So I didn’t ask anything but I did ask something

    I was repeating the thought, not really making a declarative statement but apologies for the confusion. I thought the question immediately following indicated I asking for evidence of such statement.

    And you responded with a statement that has nothing to do with what I asked nor addressed anything in my post.

    ok

    Thanks?

    What am I denying again?

    You asked for something ridiculous. That wouldn't really have anything to do with the topic.

    You're smarter than that.
    the question is just a form of denial. because it doesn't specifically say something therefore there can be no implications.

    It's like you're pretending this is your first day on planet Earth.
    I addressed the statement you made. The question you asked is copium
    Meaning.

    A poster made a statement and I asked for evidence of said statement

    I didn’t mean for it to cause anyone to unravel
