I guess it's OK when Trump does it...

YES, THE TRUMP WHITE HOUSE DEMANDED TWITTER REMOVE CHRISSY TEIGEN’S TWEET CALLING TRUMP A “PUSSY ASS BITCH”

In September 2019, Trump, who’d not yet been banned (and unbanned) from Twitter, logged on to his favorite social media site and complained that he wasn‘t getting enough credit for the bipartisan criminal reform bill that had passed through Congress and been signed into law. Specifically, he wrote: “Guys like boring musician @johnlegend, and his filthy mouthed wife, are talking now about how great it is—but I didn’t see them around when we needed help getting it passed.” Chrissy Teigen is obviously the wife of John Legend, though she had not been tagged or referred to by name, which inspired her to send a tweet of her own reading, “Lol what a pussy ass bitch. tagged everyone but me. an honor, mister president.”

Anyway, life went on and we didn’t hear much about this thereafter. But on Wednesday, amid a congressional hearing about Twitter’s decision to limit users’ ability to read a New York Post article about Hunter Biden’s laptop—which Republicans naturally believe is evidence of a vast conspiracy—it suddenly popped up again.

Specifically, we learned, thanks to the testimony of Anika Collier Navaroli, a former member of Twitter’s content moderation team, that the White House sprang to action upon reading Teigen’s tweet. “The White House almost immediately thereafter contacted Twitter to demand the tweet be taken down. Is that accurate?” Representative Gerry Connolly asked Navaroli. “I do remember hearing we’d received a request from the White House to make sure we evaluated this tweet, and they wanted it to come down because it was a derogatory statement directed at the president,” she said.

"2 or 3 libertarians who have an R by their name want means based social security and raising the retirement age , and the Dems think the entire GOP wants to go after the third rail of politics"

Ouch. Typical Republican. Lying out their ass.

no, its not

but you don't care because the majority of it was done by Democrats to shut down Trump

Funny that Tiabbi, with all those records given to him by Musk, never mentioned the time Trump tried to get Twitter to silence somebody. Makes you wonder if Musk withheld any other files detailing when Trump tried to do that (actually, it doesn't make you wonder at all, does it, everybody already knows the answer). Also kinda make you wonder if there were many more instances when Trump used the power of the presidency to have Twitter do his bidding. Just kidding, nobody wonders about that, either. Only difference is, Trump supporters don't care that he did it...

Twitter Kept Entire ‘Database’ of Republican Requests to Censor Posts

Elon Musk's "Twitter Files" focus on Democrats, but former administration officials and Twitter employees say Trump’s team and other Republicans routinely demanded posts be taken down

The question is, were Trump’s requests granted or not by Twitter? that’s the difference

If it’s not true, that’s incredible detail on that story.

I can't believe that isn't the biggest story out there - that provocation for war
