Elon Musk on Monday released another Twitter files drop: How Twitter rigged the Covid debate:
- By censoring info that was true but inconvenient to US government policy
- By discrediting doctors and other experts who disagreed
- By suppressing ordinary users, including some sharing the CDC’s own data
So far the Twitter Files have focused on evidence of Twitter’s secret blacklists; how the company functioned as a kind of subsidiary of the FBI; and how execs rewrote the platform’s rules to accommodate their own political desires.
The United States government pressured Twitter and other social media platforms to elevate certain content and suppress other content about Covid-19.
