    Twitter has stopped censoring posts from The Epoch Times amid public criticism after users reported problems when they attempted to click on links to Epoch's stories on the social media platform.

    When users earlier last week clicked on links to Epoch stories, Twitter told them: "The link you are trying to access has been identified by Twitter or our partners as being potentially spammy or unsafe."

    By Saturday the links began working properly again, Epoch reported….

    ig tech social media censorship is called out again. Twitter targeted Epoch News sourced links. They were called out by the public and by two Senators. The big tech social media bigotry against conservative news sources struck yet again. When will they ever stop their bias?

    Big tech censorship is driving the need for and creation of the alternative news and social media sources and a parallel economy for those canceled by woke progressives

    Strange to see conservatives align with the Chinese Communist Party and their media organizations.

    Actually, I guess it isn’t all that strange.

    Personally I think media organizations have a duty to label sites as what they are — in this case far right wing news manipulated by an enemy foreign nation.

    Twitter should offer Trump $10B to come back to Twitter. ;-)

    Epoch News is not pro China. China is actively persecuting people who believe as Epoch owners and writers do. They are conservatives because they are anti communist something that makes American secular conservatives uncomfortable.

    Epoch is an offshoot of the Falun Gong, sort of. They love criticizing China. Why is Twitter carrying water for the CCP is the question you should ask.

    Epoch times is not aligned with the CCP. All you have to do is look at their programming to know that.

    Epoch news is a spam site. Seriously it’s a terrible website regardless of their news and political leanings. I had to create a news email address to avoid their virus.

    It's a cultist thing. Seems to afflict 30% of the world's population as to susceptibility to fear and propaganda.

    What is even more strange is your observation. I've seen you defend TikTok. You have no credibility here.

    I’m still waiting to see Epoch Times leader levitate as he claims. Other wise how can we take his crappy news site seriously?

    I was noticing the other day that Tik Tok was allowing people to view hacks of breaking into Kia and Hyundai cars, inciting thefts but social media bans Trump from posting. So, we can't have Trump on social media but we can explain to crooks how to steal cars.

    Right, my error. I should have said Falun Gong which is basically used Epoch Times as it’s propaganda arm.

    It’s not a secret Li Hongzhi stated he can walk through walls and levitate.

    Is trump banned from tik tok?

    No wonder the CCP slaughtered Falun Gong members to harvest their organs.

    "Investigative journalist Ethan Gutmann estimated 65,000 Falun Gong were killed for their organs from 2000 to 2008 based on extensive interviews,[183][208] ...

    In 2006, allegations emerged that a large number of Falun Gong practitioners had been killed to supply China's organ transplant industry. These allegations prompted an investigation by former Canadian Secretary of State David Kilgour and human rights lawyer David Matas." Wiki

    Epoch Times is read mostly by people who understand how corrupt the mainstream media is.

    Fans of the MSM will naturally call ET a crappy news site.
