Elon Musk has disclosed documents showing that Twitter is being used extensively by Joe Biden and his team for censorship.
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has disclosed the files that Twitter has been used for censorship purposes in the past. It has been revealed that politicians known as Democrats in the USA are conducting propaganda through Twitter. In the social media trend that emerged with the development of technology, Twitter became one of the prominent companies. Reaching a global audience, the platform paved the way for communication without barriers. It has not been overlooked that the platform, which has the feature of expressing ideas and creating information instantly, has turned into a propaganda tool over time. The traditional propaganda tools used by politicians at the time have evolved into social media today. However, Elon Musk shook the agenda by revealing the events on the Twitter side.
Elon Musk Reveals: Twitter Has Censored Joe Biden
A retweet from Elon Musk came to Twitter user Matt Taibbi’s sharing of files. Taibbi shared the files he received from Musk as documents.
In the sharing series called Twitter Files, it was revealed that Joe Biden and his team, known as Democrats, applied censorship. The platform, which has grown globally, has imposed restrictions for issues such as financial fraud and spam. This new design turned into a heavily used censorship system by Democrats in 2020.
According to Taibbi, over time the blocking system began to find more use. Outsiders requested manipulation by sending e-mails to platform employees. By 2020, this situation came to the point of deleting tweets and closing accounts.
Someone from the Twitter company sent another employee an email saying, “There’s a lot to look into from the Biden team.” In the counter mail, the response “Processed” came. This suggested that celebrities or anonymous accounts were removed from the platform at the request of the Biden team.
According to Taibbi, the mass propaganda power of Twitter was accessible to two US politicians. In 2020, the demands of both Donald Trump and Joe Biden were fulfilled. The platform was receiving and fulfilling the requests of both political parties.
Twitter Balance Shifts to Democrats
Sharing the files, Matt Taibbi stated that the system is not balanced and is handled with contacts. Twitter is starting to get closer to the Democrats with an overwhelming advantage. In this way, more demands came and they were fulfilled quickly.
The censorship system, approved by many former senior executives, was carried out by abuse of content moderation. The event that created a bombshell effect on the agenda was the demand from the Joe Biden team in the presidential race. The Hunter Biden incident, which echoed in the global press in 2020, was also disclosed. A news leaked from the contents of the laptop of Hunter Biden, the son of Joe Biden, was on the agenda. Taibbi disclosed that Twitter has removed all posts for this news from the platform.
Taibbi stated that even the algorithm developed to prevent child pornography was used to close the Hunter Biden case. This intense censorship by Twitter came at the request of Democrats.
It was also claimed that the account of Kaleigh McEnany, the White House spokesperson of the time, was closed because she tweeted about this news. According to Taibbi, this censorship treated the Biden report as hacked material.
McEnany claimed that Twitter helped Democrats hide the truth. All these shares were fueled by Elon Musk’s confirmation of events.
