Elon Musk is turning Twitter into Parler.
\u201cBREAKING: Anti-Trans Propagandist Abigail Shrier was one of a "team" given access to unknown number of records on Twitter's moderation decisions by owner Elon Musk.\n\nhttps://t.co/WeEVjAp0PE\u201d— Evan Urquhart (@Evan Urquhart) 1670548536
\u201cThe "team" being given extensive and unfiltered access to Twitter's systems https://t.co/cNt9kEQggs\u201d— naomi, transsexuality propagandist (@naomi, transsexuality propagandist) 1670547858
\u201c.@elonmusk, yes or no \u2014 do Weiss and Taibbi have access to users\u2019 DMs? It would be good to get clear explanation about this screen and yes/no answer to this straightforward question.\u201d— Abraham Gutman (@Abraham Gutman) 1670551955
\u201clol wait this shows Libs of TikTok got special treatment from Twitter \n\nDO NOT TAKE ACTION ON USER\nhttps://t.co/3OkLbXeff5\u201d— Matt Binder (@Matt Binder) 1670550786
\u201cBari Weiss confirming what we all knew, Libs of Tiktok was given special preferential treatment despite her account breaking the rules several times.\n\nDespite Bari's claims, LoTT was removed from search on November 19th.\u201d— Alejandra Caraballo (@Alejandra Caraballo) 1670548287
\u201cWhat? Bari Weiss misrepresenting stuff to fanboys to make a big conspiracy out of something that is clearly not a big conspiracy?\n\nHow... not surprising.\u201d— Mike Masnick (@Mike Masnick) 1670547951
\u201cI wonder what changed between October 2022 and November 2022 that meant a tweet doxing Chaya Raichik wasn't moderated. What an incredible self own.\u201d— Alejandra Caraballo (@Alejandra Caraballo) 1670548876
\u201cThis isn't journalist access. This is bringing on a minister of propaganda.\u201d— Liana Kerzner (@Liana Kerzner) 1670554514
\u201c@44 @emptywheel In other words, Ella Irwin (who took over Trust and Safety from @yoyoel) is likely the logged in account for those screenshots.\u201d— Menotti, free bird (@Menotti, free bird) 1670549563
\u201c"Now, Weiss has been given access to Twitter's employee systems, added to its Slack, and given a company laptop, two people familiar with her presence said.\n\nThe level of access to Twitter systems given to Weiss is typically given only to employees..."\n\nhttps://t.co/3zBi3eDGJP\u201d— Justin Baragona (@Justin Baragona) 1670531136
\u201cGod, it\u2019s come to this! I am agreeing with @kayvz, whom I usually yell at for all manner of Twitter fuckups over the years. But no executive I ever talked to ever denied de-amplifying accounts for various violations, tho using the word shadowban sounds more sinister.\u201d— Kara Swisher (@Kara Swisher) 1670557109
\u201cBusiness translator: \u201cSecret group\u201d aka public company management, who are described in all regulatory filings in copious detail, whose job it is to deal with such sensitive issues and \u2014 stick with me here since it is apparently murky to some \u2014 run the company.\u201d— Kara Swisher (@Kara Swisher) 1670555088
\u201cThis entire thread from Weiss, and supposed expos\u00e9 on Twitter's 'secret blacklists,' is exactly what @elonmusk says his current content moderation policy for Twitter is!\u201d— Mehdi Hasan (@Mehdi Hasan) 1670547791
\u201cAnd who, pray tell, was owner of Twitter on that date? \ud83e\udd14\u201d— Mehdi Hasan (@Mehdi Hasan) 1670555307
