Trump Twitter censored 65 times; Biden never. This proves that Biden is more responsible and less hateful, right?

Truth is in the eye of the beholder.

If one believes the moon is made out of cheese contrary to evidence, then…

I know this is subjective, but Twitter has never come across as “big” to me.

It’s not about employee base, it’s about market share. There is no other message sharing platform with anywhere near the number of customers/users as Twitter.

Just defend truth, that is what we are called to do. Hard to do at times, since it will “embolden” our opponent.

Truth with a small t is sometimes elusive or hard to determine.

look, I am not attacking you

No attack is perceived.

but you asked for evidence.

Specifically in the form of metrics.

I pointed you to some undercover evidence. You never even talked about it. So why ask?

I’m familiar with the PV report. There was a thread here discussing it. I discussed my thoughts on it there. But in summary, I didnt find the words of a man trying to impress a woman on a date to be sufficient. Especially since there was nothing showing he had a strong influence at the company.

Is “market share” and “number of users” viewed as the same here?

I was thinking of the Steele Dossier because it was seriously deficient in the “fact-checking” department, which is what Twitter and Facebook have been so focused on - but after 4 years, nobody has been blocked or hindered from posting it. And Trump’s tax returns were definitely obtained illicitly and without his permission - whether by hacking or leaked - and they definitely haven’t been fact checked, but no moderation there either.

Twitter does very little on fact checking. They are giving special attention to COVID-19 (which they have expressed is harmful) and election misinformation. Their policies and labels tend to form after some highly criticized event.

Policies were updated in response to the NY Post article. One can share links to it now.

Give it a few years and we will have only one political side allowed.

I don’t think so. I think a more responsible and civil Republican Party will emerge from the ashes of the Trump debacle, and I look forward to being able to support them. We will have multiple views represented. They just won’t include Trump and his gang.

 

[ThinkingSapien]

I mean, they are censoring the leader of the “free world”.

Said one year ago:

Twitter:

We want to make it clear today that the accounts of world leaders are not above our policies entirely.

Remember when Twitter placed a “Deceptively Edited” to a video Trump twitted about Joe Biden words. Then immediately after Biden twitted a clip of Trump that was severely edited and twitted did nothing?

Bolding my own.

I don’t know the Tweet to which you refer. But from reading this description it doesn’t sound like a parity description. “Severely edited” is not the same as “deceptively edited.” Ex: if someone made a video of LeBron James playing basketball on Mars, that involves edits. But I don’t think it would deceive. But without knowing the tweet in question, it is difficult to make an evaluation of the above.

Joe Biden doesn’t tweet that much.

He’s tweeted about 7,000 times total.

I looked at his Tweets. An overwhelming majority of them come from a desktop Twitter clients that are often used by those managing Social Media campaigns. This suggest that his tweets are less impulsive and possibly scheduled. Most of Trump’s tweets come from a mobile device. It is a bit easier to be reactive and at times impulsive on Twitter when one is on the go and using a mobile device.

I get the impression that someone else may be tweeting on his behalf given the specific software that is used on his tweets.
