Twitter Policy Update Adds New Shadow Ban Filter For Public Officials

This past Thursday on June 27 2019 Twitter updated their company policy regarding certain types of tweets. What types of tweets you ask? Tweets that violate their rules. Twitter is now publicly admitting that certain tweets violate their rules but are allowed on their platform.

It’s so nice when big tech admits things the public has known for years. Unfortunately, instead of issuing a zero tolerance policy across the board, Twitter has decided to do something incredibly stupid. No, they didn’t decide to allow anyone to post anything. That would be stupid but at least it would be identical to America’s First Amendment. No, they have decided to allow tweets that violate their terms of service. Well, only those they feel are in the public interest. And only if they are from special twitter accounts.

You see, there is a very strict criteria you must meet in order to get this special privilege. You must have over 100,000 followers. You must be verified. Finally, you must be in office, running for office, or be considered the next in line for office. If you meet these three criteria then you are allowed to post tweets violating Twitter’s code of conduct. However, your tweet will be hidden behind a warning screen. Now, who can you think of that fits all three criteria and Twitter would love to hide tweets made by this person?

The Quartering was quick to figure out exactly what they were planning on doing with this new policy update.

So yes, the President of The United States will now have his tweets hidden behind a warning screen. Actually, I’m lying. You see, if you are in safe search then you will not see the tweet at all. If your timeline is switched to Top Tweets you will not see the tweet. The tweet will not appear on the live events pages or the explore function. Your recommended push notifications will not feature the tweet. What about your notifications? You guessed it! The tweet will not be there. Its not all bad tho, because other than the instances where the tweet will not show up Twitter has said it will feature such a tweet “less prominently”.

Let’s make no mistake. This new policy update isn’t about protecting Twitter users from harmful ideas. It is about protecting the Democrats running for president from Donald Trump’s trolling. It is to keep control of the narrative you see by keeping the loudest voice against liberal lies silent. Big tech and the Deep State are going to do everything they can to keep 2020 from being a repeat of 2016. It truly is a clown world friends and the people at Twitter are happy to supply the face paint and floppy shoes!
