The third batch of “Twitter Files,” published by independent journalist Matt Taibbi, revealed Twitter’s former lead censor, Yoel Roth, joking about the company’s collusion with government intelligence entities.

“After [Jan. 6, 2021], internal Slacks show Twitter executives getting a kick out of intensified relationships with federal agencies,” Taibbi wrote, publishing internal Slack messages that show Roth “lamenting a lack of ‘generic enough’ calendar descriptions [for] concealing his ‘very interesting’ meeting partners.”

You’ve been hearing a lot about misinformation from the present government. And disinformation, which is simply a respelling of the same word brought in by those pushing for censorship (they call it by a different name) to pump up their case that there’s a huge need for government oversight of all online information sources, particularly blogs, independent reporters and independent news agencies.

There are two pieces of deeply disturbing news to emerge from the “Twitter Files” released by Elon Musk. The first is that Twitter, under its old management, was not the open, politically neutral platform it pretended to be. Journalist Bari Weiss has shown that Twitter had secret “blacklists” and related methods specifically designed to limit the reach of conservative commentators. When Twitter’s old management denied that bias, as it did repeatedly, it was lying.

Republicans are demanding hearings on Twitter and more information on whether GOP candidates were blacklisted before elections, after the second release of internal documents showed conservative accounts were suspended or suppressed despite not violating any policies.

The calls for more accountability come as Elon Musk responded ‘yes’ when a user asked him if any political candidates were ‘subject to shadowbanning while they were running for office or seeking re-election?’

Elon Musk said that “important” data from Twitter was “hidden” and “may have been deleted” in a Wednesday post on the social media site.

“Most important data was hidden (from you too) and some may have been deleted, but everything we find will be released,” Musk said in a Tweet posted Wednesday afternoon in response to a question from Twitter founder and ex-CEO Jack Dorsey.

Chief Twit Elon Musk ominously posted the quote: ‘Oh, what a tangled web they weave, when first they practice to…’ hours after he announced the firing of Twitter lawyer James Baker.

The quote paraphrases poetry written by Sir Walter Scott and the next word, left out by Musk, is deceive.

The line is used to describe the devastating ramifications of lies on people’s lives. It was written in 1808 and appears in Scott’s epic poem Marmion. The words are often erroneously attributed to William Shakespeare.

On Friday, the first installment of the Twitter files was published here. We expected to publish more over the weekend. Many wondered why there was a delay.

In a tweet on Sunday, Nicholas Sandmann, now 20, questioned whether there were any ‘hidden Twitter files’ on the death threats he received following the incident in 2019.

‘As I’m watching this all play out, I’m wondering if @elonmusk has any hidden twitter files relating to what went on here,’ Sandmann said on Twitter Sunday. ‘Let’s be clear: under the watch of @vijaya they allowed these illegal threats when I was 16 years old.’

Friday night, journalist Matt Taibbi provided the first installment of internal Twitter communications. The first dump focused on the suppression of information during the 2020 Election, specifically the censorship of Hunter Biden’s laptop. According to Twitter CEO Elon Musk, there is more to come about shadow banning and other forms of censorship as thousands more pages are released. Still, taking what we have already learned at face value, some former Twitter executives have quite a bit to answer for.

The former Twitter executive who led the team responsible for censoring the Hunter Biden laptop bombshell before the 2020 presidential election claimed last week that accounts that criticize the transgender movement are “dangerous.”
