Twitter Announces New Election Community Standards.

Yeah. This should go well.

I love this response.

Let’s just review quickly how Twitter’s election approach worked last time, shall we?

From The Post Millennial:

In the lead up to the presidential election in 2020, Twitter suppressed and censored reporting by the New York Post that tied then candidate Joe Biden to his son Hunter’s overseas business dealings, with insinuations and allegations of influence peddling. Twitter believed reports coming out of the Biden campaign, and other sources, that claimed the information had been obtained through hacking, a disallowable practice, or was “Russian disinformation.”

This suppression had an impact on the US presidential election, potentially skewing results in Biden’s favor, as polls later indicated.

Yeah. So forgive me, Twitter, if I think your new guidelines are pointless and stupid. You don’t have the best track record.

    So they intend to go all in for the democrats and shut down anybody questioning the left wing narrative, again. Yeah, they really care about free and honest elections.

    Twitter, facebook and the rest of social media should just be shutdown forever and not allowed to exist.

      They do care about free and honest elections; they just define “free and honest” as “elections where no one has any chance of being elected unless they are a democrat”.
