There's something subtle about this but I wonder if Dorsey is actually aware of himself what has been going on.

Big Tech broadly has been filtering out political content already the same way China does.

Anyone remember when we found out that Chinese phrase meaning something roughly like official bandit or bandit official was being secretly censored out from youtube?

I've been checking and they've been censoring huge amounts of political commentary in English on their English platform. I know this because some ten percent of my comments disappear.

I've seen this broadly. China plus Islamic states has long has filtering and extreme content moderation so they have the best experienced professionals in it who get hired over here.

I've seen this broadly across big tech. Where ever I've been able to check I've noticed things like all my writings that are against in a debate are automatically spammed or manually spammed which poorly trains the filters and the people most likely to spam an argument are the ones with the losing argument backward training their algorithms.

I wonder if Dorsey actually is aware of what his content management teams, algorithms and engineers have actually been doing. If he looks into the systems and who is in the spam bucket or "not human" bucket he might shit himself.

There's no way this is all focused on one account. He's absolutely clueless.
