This didn’t change for TGP as other accounts on the Internet were noticeably banned as well. We noticed the President of the United States, and arguably Twitter’s greatest user ever was being shadow-banned by Twitter. Yesterday, Jack told Elon to “release everything” related to the past. It was a bold statement for someone who had been shadow-banning people and lying about it.Following up on this with a lot more detail. We don’t shadow ban, and we certainly don’t shadow ban based on political viewpoints. We do rank tweets by default to make Twitter more immediately relevant (which can be flipped off).

Today it was confirmed – Jack Dorsey was shadow-banning accounts on Twitter and he was a member of a team that was doing it Dorsey, we confirmed, was a liar.If the goal is transparency to build trust, why not just release everything without filter and let people judge for themselves? Including all discussions around current and future actions? Make everything public now. #TwitterFiles

The work of Jack’s team was done in secret.13. But there existed a level beyond official ticketing, beyond the rank-and-file moderators following the company’s policy on paper. That is the “Site Integrity Policy, Policy Escalation Support,” known as “SIP-PES.”

Now we know that Jack lied when he said he wasn’t banning people based on a political leanings. Of course, they were. Note: Jim Hoft’s huge Gateway Pundit account and Joe Hoft’s much smaller account are still suspended on Twitter. This is how Twitter worked. They started with shadow-banning and then they ended with all-out suspensions. Read more at: TheGatewayPundit.com15. This is where the biggest, most politically sensitive decisions got made. “Think high follower account, controversial,” another Twitter employee told us. For these “there would be no ticket or anything.”
