    Aside from a string of tweets from Jack Dorsey, Twitter’s PR machine has been strangely quiet during the dust-up over the extremely controversial decision to tag several tweets from President Trump as “misinformation”.

    And now we know why. Among the reasons Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg cited for why social media companies shouldn’t strive to be “arbiters of truth” is the Sisyphean task of filtering, screening, and analyzing an endless stream of information. Given the massive user bases of these companies, consistency would be nearly impossible, opening the door to yet more accusations of bias. And for what?

    Perhaps that’s why Twitter has spent the last day or so retroactively tagging tweets from certain officials with the Chinese government that also contain “misinformation” – some of it claiming that the coronavirus originated in the US.

    Mouthpieces for Beijing, and for practically every government, even Venezuela and Iran (two countries that have drawn scrutiny from Twitter in the form of mass account-deletion) are active on Twitter. And one of the most effective arguments against Twitter’s decision to label Trump’s tweets is that the company hasn’t done nearly enough to filter out far more sinister actors, like ISIS recruiters, or stooges from Russia, China, Iran and America’s myriad geopolitical enemies – and some of our allies too.

    Interestingly, a quick look at the foreign ministry spokesman’s feed shows that only a few tweets have been labeled.

    Furthermore, aside from the occasional reference to the “terrorists” threatening law and order in Hong Kong, the feed looks almost identical to one of those left-wing rose emoji accounts with 5k-10k followers.

    Meanwhile, Taiwan has continued to poke and prod at Beijing by speaking out in defense of Hong Kong. A top Taiwanese official said prosperity and stability cannot be easily disrupted by separatist forces, rebutting Beijing’s accusations of “terrorism”.

    As the conversation about Twitter’s role in moderating ‘the conversation’ unfurls on twitter, two analysts with Height Capital Markets argued that the White House’s new executive order has “more bark than bite”. Investors, looking at this morning’s performance, have taken a decidedly different view.

    President Donald Trump’s pending social media executive order is likely “more bark than bite,” Height Capital Markets analysts Chase White and Clayton Allen wrote in a note, citing news reports suggesting the order will address Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, the liability shield intended to protect Internet platforms from content posted on their sites.

    Meanwhile, we’re seeing some interesting action in twitter shares premarket…

    …buybacks?

    But whatever happens, we’ll definitely be keeping an eye on the Ayatollah’s twitter feed. Will the company dare to apply these misinformation labels to Iran’s supreme leader?

      1. Gang stalking victims continue to be gang stalked after they have moved. It is a targeted campaign. I do not believe anyone that says that it stopped after they had moved. Particularly if they claim that their information was too dangerous to publish while living at one address, but suddenely the same information is no longer too dangerous to publish at a different address. It is a bull shit hypothesis! It is devoid of all logic!  I believe that they are in on it, because research shows that it follows victims after they move. For me, it started with my energy meter being hacked and read all letter Ds for default. Disengage,Disinformation, Disrupt, Displace, Destroy, Devour, Death. 

        Since I have stated that the number one problem in America is corruption, it would be irresponsible to just leave all of the corrupt monsters that I am surrounded by free to continue their predation unabated. All authorities have been notified, nd all have chosen to ignore it. Let everyone witness the corruption of Grafton, and Wisconsin, and America.

        I refuse to be pushed around by terrorists. I refuse to reward evil behavior.

      2. “Furthermore, aside from the occasional reference to the “terrorists” threatening law and order in Hong Kong, the feed looks almost identical to one of those left-wing rose emoji accounts with 5k-10k followers.”

        Separatist activity is characterized as terrorism, in the West Bloc.

        “Investors, looking at this morning’s performance, have taken a decidedly different view.”

        Except, Twitter is too-big-to-fail.

        One too-big-to-fail branch of the govt is at rhetorical odds with another? Really?

        “some of it claiming that the coronavirus originated in the US.”

        In one alt version of this narrative, well kept crony, Dr. Felcho, spends several millions on materials from a Canadian lab — depending on which communists you find more credible.

      3. You would really have to be a God damn fucking retard to invest one red cent in any American company run by criminal psychopaths, or in this shit hole nation run by a criminal gang of psychopaths!

        It’s the corruption stupids!

        How fucking retarded do you have to be to leave a legacy of evil and corruption?

        As retarded as the average American, it seems!

      4. why no stories of the riots.

      5. Jack is just a commie American Hater
        He will regret his actions.

      6. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet! Just wait till BLM and Sputnik propagandists praying to their saviour Bill Gates to vax them find out that the vax that they have all been waiting for just might sterilize them! Gates has been vocal about reducing the population with vaccines, many have died from
        “the final solution” and Kenyan doctors have discovered an anti-fertility agent in
        “the final solution” as well for tetenas vaccines that Gates Gavi organization has funded.
        This is a Nazi Eugenics program and nothing more. This is genocide. Gates belongs in prison along with the Nazis at WHO and in the medical mafia in America.

        We need Nuremburg Trials! I and my family have been a victim of these evil psychopaths since God knows when! I happen to be white. You are not immune to them if you work in government or the military, or in healthcare, or in business. There is no immunity for anyone, and you are foolishly deceiving yourselves if you believe that you are somehow immune to their monstrous predation and murderous genocide campaign.

      7. The cover-up of the effectiveness of hydroxycholoquine and the profiteering through stock price manipulation which is the business model of Big Pharma through rumors of miracle cures is just more proof why we must abolish the stock market. It is rife with corruption to the point that they are content to engage in genocide and mass murder for fast easy money all totally based on hype, hypochandria, and blatant lies. 

        The Moderna CEO belong in prison for stock manipulation. Claiming to have created an effective vaccine, which sent the stock price soaring, despite the fact that there was no valid reason to make that claim. Just because his stock was sold from programmed trades, he is not exempt from stock price manipulation and profiteering from his insider trading, with the insider knowledge that he was lying and making false claims, to which he reaped wind fall profits for his campaign of lies, propaganda, and stock price manipulation.

      8. It is pretty impossible to say anything or do anything that would surprise me at this point.

        The Pentagon sent a drone to fly over Minneapolis that flew in a hexagon pattern and then left.

        I don’t know why. Maybe a gang sign from the gang CRIPS, which stands for Community Reorganization In Progress, that they will be covered, 6 and the star of David are symbols for this gang, which is America’s largest gang. Their gang colors are the colors of the Israeli flag, the same blue and white, which is a very unusual choice for what supposedly originated as an L.A. black street gang.

        Who would be surprised if they are funded by the banks, Pentagon, or Mossad at this point? 

        Now BLM protestors have been setting fire to stores and gas stations.

        Many in the financial community have been saying that FAANGS is out, and FIRE ( financials, insurance, real estate, ) are in. 

        This has moved beyond protesting and into terrorism. If terrorism is involved, it is hard to believe that the banks, corporations, military, and governments are not involved.

        Is it just a coincidence that no federal reserve member banks or city halls were set ablaze? There are Federal Reserve branches in Minnesota and New York where protests have taken over. 

        Crowns are also gang symbols for The Bloods and The Latin Kings. 

        Corona means crown in spanish. It is a very strange name to give to a virus, supposedly because the points resemble a crown, but, the polio virus and rhinovirus also do, so it just seems really wierd to name it the coronavirus. The name appears to be a psy-op. To who? The coronavirus was discovered and named in 1964 by British virologist David Tyrell and Scottish virologist June Almeida. Did they use Spanish rather than English so that the British Royal Family would not be offended, or because communism was sweeping Latin America at that time?  Rothschilds have a crown in their coat of arms, and their symbols are a red rose and a lion. The rival Bloods gang obviously also uses red as one of its colors. Obviously, the Saudi Royal family is extremely powerful. The British royal family is pretty quiet in the spot light, but I don’t know what goes on behind the scenes. Rothschilds also are heavily invested in Rockefeller entities. We have been hearing a great deal about empire, rather than dynasty, kingdom, or colonization, so there is a very deliberate scheme taking place. Usually, empire is associated with Rome for most people, I 
        think. Although there were the Ottoman and Persian empires also. 

        Is this coronavirus all about gang wars led by the bankers, corporations, military, and government? 

        It would not surprise me at this point. Nothing would that is capable of happening within the laws of nature, physics, chemistry. 

        If I suddenly started to levitate, that would surprise me.

      9. People have been so busy trying to clear out the blatant lies which have taken iver the entire country since at least 1992,( not that the country was totally truthful prior to that, but definitelyfar more truthful and 1992 marks the onset of Goldman Sachs overthrowing the government and Treasury,) that nobody even noticed that Israel annexed all of Russia! It was just one giant psy-op and charade after another, but Russia Insider citing Christians for Truth, said that Israelis denied Hillary the election with a call to Trump from Tel-Aviv saying that Trump would lose the election without their help. So, while everyone was zoning out and zombified, Israel annexed all of Russia, and nobody noticed, because Hillary and the DNC and the FBI all said that it was because of Russia.

        You snooze you lose.

        It also kind of sounds more like a threat, intimidation, protection racket gimmick than anything else!

        Just sayin!

      11. After this shit show of a presidency, I can’t help but wonder what percentage of Trump supporters will vote for Jesse Ventura. I think that he might have a lot of support from his home state of Minnesota, after the George Floyd murder.
