A new hidden-camera video by Project Veritas--published January 11--features "nine current and former Twitter employees" admitting to "steps the social media giant is taking to censor political content that they don't like," according to Project Veritas.

The video opens with a montage of damning quotes before showing those quotes in context. Far from being less damning when seen in context, they are more so. The video focuses on something called "shadow banning."

Abhinav Vadrevu, a former software engineer at Twitter, said, "One strategy is to shadow ban so that you have ultimate control." He added, "The idea of a shadow ban is that you ban someone, but they don't know they've been banned because they keep posting, but no one sees their content." On the psychological side of the equation, this creates a situation where the users just think their posts--their ideas--aren't appealing to anyone. "So they just think no one is engaging with their content when in reality, no one is seeing it," Vadrevu said. He admitted that the practice "is risky" because "people will figure that sh*t out." He also said that it would cause "bad press" and that "it's like, unethical in some way, you know? So, I don't know."

Olinda Hassan is a policy manager in Twitter's Trust and Safety Department, which she describes as "controversial." Her team makes the rules and regulations for the platform's millions of users. They are the gatekeepers. As Hassan explained, Twitter is "working on" a way to silence certain people and ideas on the platform. "Yeah, it's something we're working on--where we're trying to get the sh*tty people not to show up," she told the undercover journalist, adding, "It's a product thing we're working on."

The Project Veritas video shows Mo Norai, a former content review agent at Twitter, saying, "Let's say if it was a pro-Trump thing and I'm anti-Trump, I was like, 'I banned his whole account.' It goes to you, and then it's at your discretion. And if you're anti-Trump, you're like, 'Oh, you know what? Mo was right, ft'ck it, let it go.'" Norai went on to say that "discretion" --which he described as "I guess how you felt about a particular matter"--plays a huge role in what content gets banned at Twitter. Norai said that during his time at Twitter, left-leaning posts that were tagged as possibly offensive were allowed to remain. "It would come through checked and then I would be like, 'You know what? This is okay. Let it go.'"

Pranay Singh is a direct messaging engineer at Twitter. He said that the suspension of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's Twitter account may have been because of "the U.S. government pressuring" Twitter. He said, "They do that." In fact, he said it happens "all the fucking time." In Assange's case, he said the U.S. government doesn't like "people messing with their politics, and [Assange] has sh*t on a lot of people."

Singh helped explain the types of tweets that are likely not to make the cut. "Just go to a random (Trump) tweet and just look at the followers," he said. Those followers will "all be like guns, God, 'Merica, like and with the American flag and like, the cross." He said the way to get rid of those users--all of whom he assumes are bots, not real users, because, "Like who says that? Who talks like that?"--is to "just delete them." But since "there are hundreds of thousands of them" and that volume can't be handled by people, "you got to, like, write algorithms to do it for you."

Perhaps most shocking is the statement by Steven Pierre, a software engineer at Twitter. Speaking on hidden camera, he said that Twitter is developing a way to automate the whole process of what gets seen and what doesn't. "Every single conversation is going to be rated by a machine" that will decide whether the conversation is "positive" or "negative." If it's negative, "They may have a point, but it will just, like, vanish," he said. When asked whether this would "ban certain mindsets," he said no. "It's going to ban, like, a way of talking."

If that isn't Pravda, nothing is. Between filtering, banning, shadow banning, and manipulating what users see, Twitter is dangerously close to a thought-control platform.

Let's not forger that Twitter is an American company headquartered in the land of the free, home of the brave and unlimited dollar printing matrix, run by leader of the free world. Just saying. Sometimes its interesting to look in the mirror.

My post is sarcastic.

Ahh, got it.

Morally depraved, shifting sands situational Lefty lack of ethics. Tone deafness to any realistic notion of free speech. Goebbels blaming your opposition of that which you are guilty. I guess it was a profitable gig while it lasted. What more country destroying ethos could one desire than the old Twitter?

Unfortunately, this is not limited to North America. Its occurring in Asia, Europe and Australia too.

Let us see if Musk continue to suck Hindooo dick for money.
Hindoo will give him all the toilet building money as long as he oppress Sikhs freedom of speech.

Elon is going to have fun denying golden parachutes to Twitter executives. I think he will win, he got the money and the facts to prove fraud.

govt funded "news"

Elon dressed in a Baphomet costume with an upside down cross. While I enjoy the apparent establishment shakeup and riling of the woke, I never forget this guy is NOT my friend.

I don't see an upside down cross.

I tried to get the reddit pic, but sometimes those post them as web page files, which aren't supported on patnet. Reddit also has a onion site now, so posting the link wouldn't work for most here I'm guessing.

You could do your own research...

Twitter Complaint Hotline Operator Elon Musk Restores Mark Finchem’s Account After Being Locked Out Days Before Election

Elon Musk, the new “Twitter Complaint Hotline Operator” — as listed on his profile’s bio — took action Monday after Arizona Republican secretary of state nominee Mark Finchem’s Twitter account was “locked” from “speaking truth”, days before the November 8 election.

Finchem posted a screenshot on Truth Social of a notice he received from Twitter that said his account was temporarily placed in “read-only mode” for allegedly violating the platform’s rules.

“Twitter has blocked my account from speaking truth with one week left until the election. They are trying to put their thumb on the scales of this election. Tag Elon Musk and tell him to unban me right now. I am the Secretary of State nominee in a swing state running against the criminal Soros-funded candidate,” AZ State Rep. Mark Finchem wrote on Truth Social. ...

Looking into it — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 31, 2022

Less than an hour later, Finchem was able to post to Twitter again and thanked the Twitter Complaint Hotline Operator.

Dorsey is retaining his 2.4 percent stake in Twitter, according to a new filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

According to the filing, Dorsey retained more than 18 million shares in Twitter.

The move saved Musk around $1 billion when the company became private.

The decision by Dorsey was initially agreed upon back in April according to the filing.

It also means that Dorsey will remain one of Twitter’s largest shareholders.

Dorsey will be second only to Musk himself and Saudi Arabia’s Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Al Saud, who rolled over his 34.948 million shares of Twitter, valued at roughly $1.9 billion, in October.

The presence of Saudis is NOT GOOD. This means no one will be able to tell the truth about the murderous Saudis on Twitter.

You don't need to look at outside sources when you worry about Twitter, just go straight to the head twit.

Musk is still my leading candidate for the anti-Christ, should he come in our time. Seriously.

But you guys didn't listen about Trump, I'm sure you'll sweep Musk's Satanism and pedophilia under the rug, because when it comes to sacrificing morality for false paradigms, Reps/Dems/Right/Left/Cons/Libs take the cake.

Here is a close up.



Elon plays for team Satan. His costume is entitled friend of the devil if I remember correctly.

It's Halloween. Christians can't dress up with that stuff (per scripture)? And if non Christians do that, it automatically means they're on the other team?! Seems a bit far fetched of an assumption to me. Everybody dressed up as something evil or a villain would then fall into that category

Agree they have a whole isle at holloween store for Christian characters including bible with flask inside. Not to mention a ton of devil costumes.

Jesus Christ!

Leftoids are literally enraged over $8/blue check/month policy.

They want it to be doled out by Opaque Policies guiding a Murky Board's Decision Process. This is because they know the Board and Policies are directed by WEF Woke Globalist types and will only hand out blue checks to the Woke-Righteous Subversives and Sympathizers.

They're having a total flip out.

Ironic the number this comment was assigned. Worship of Baphomet has always involved child sacrifice. I don't know what Christian equivalent you were thinking of, but I'm more concerned you believe there's ever justification for celebrating a holiday by wearing a costume that celebrates killing children. You've illustrated my morality point perfectly.

Because costumes that celebrate baby killing are the same as Christians, seriously...

Have you ever read how Satanists view Lucifer? The cartoonish tail and horns are not what they think of. And that's the only mainstream costume anyone wears. Not one with specific references to pagan religions, and an upside down cross, mocking Christ.

You guys are just as bad as war for Ukraine faction, and the mask and kill shot faction. So don't be too quick to look down your nose at others. There's a propaganda story for everyone.

Yes and Elon wore a suit of armor entitled the devils champion. Doesn’t that tell you all you need to know? He makes a joke about fighting for evil. Or maybe, he is just admitting his true identity as a person in rebellion against God. By the way every person who has not come to faith in Jesus for forgiveness of their sins is also in rebellion against God. But wearing a satanic symbol of a human sacrifice pagan god is next level rebellion. There is no doubt that Elon is in need of redemption. And many reading this post likely need that same redemption that many others here have already accepted by faith in Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross to wash away the stain of sin just as God promised from the beginning when Adam and Eve chose rebellion in the first place.

I second this. Elon's martial issues were one of the reasons I did not buy into Tesla in 2018. He has been through several marriages which isn't par for most CEOs.

Mell is marked with the sign of the beast.
