Weiss shared that their investigation brought to light that Twitter employees build blacklists all in secret and did not inform users. She then quoted Twitter’s previous mission “to give everyone the power to create and share ideas and information instantly, without barriers.”

At some point, it seems this was abandoned and Weiss then got into the nitty gritty of some examples.

Dan Bongino was labeled with “Search Blacklist” tag, and Charlie Kirk was given the tag “Do Not Amplify”.

Twitter had denied that it was doing this saying “We do not shadow ban” in 2018 and adding “And we certainly don’t shadow ban based on political viewpoints or ideology.”

Beyond the group made to decide whether or not to limit posts or users, there was another level the “SIP-PES” which included Vijaya Gadde as well as Yoel Roth, Jack Dorsey, Prag Agrawal, and others.

Politically sensitive decisions were made by this group, Libs of TikTok was one of the accounts labeled “Do Not Take Action on User Without Consulting With SIP-PES.” Weiss shared:

17. The account—which Chaya Raichik began in November 2020 and now boasts over 1.4 million followers—was subjected to six suspensions in 2022 alone, Raichik says. Each time, Raichik was blocked from posting for as long as a week.

Although Raichik was told she was suspended for violating Twitter’s “hateful conduct” policy an internal SIP-PES memo acknowledged the account had not directly engaged in the behavior.

Weiss then shows a contrasting reaction when Raichik was doxxed. She received “We reviewed the reported content, and didn’t find it to be in violation of the Twitter rules.” The post remains up.

22. When Raichik told Twitter that her address had been disseminated she says Twitter Support responded with this message: "We reviewed the reported content, and didn't find it to be in violation of the Twitter rules." No action was taken. The doxxing tweet is still up. pic.twitter.com/tUeaBP1bS4

While many had a suspicion that this was what Twitter was doing while claiming they weren’t the evidence has now been provided. This is the sort of thing Elon Musk had said he wanted to get rid of. With the evidence now out there, will he work to remove what is already in place, we anticipate he will work at it.
