Марк Дайс - The True Story of Fake News - How Mainstream Media Manipulates Millions

Wikileaks responded, “@Jack Like this?” and included a link to an archive of tweets from Leslie Jones doing just that. She had also said on Late Night with Seth Meyers that she uses her fans to go after people on Twitter who say things to her she doesn’t like. “And I’ll blow you up too, so if you tweet me thinking I’m the only one who’s gonna get it, I retweet it so all my followers can see it, and get on your punk [ass].” 477

Wikileaks continued to press Jack, asking “@Jack Who has access to justice? Many have had vastly worse. What’s the appeal mechanism? What’s the transparency of the process?” 478

They went on, “@Jack Because it appears that a politically aligned famous American actress has access to ban-power that everyone else does not.” 479

They continued, “@Jack It is time @Twitter got out of the censorship/justice game. Let users create communal filter lists if need be.” 480

“@Jack a punitive mechanism leads to a flood of manipulative score settling & eventual defensive pre-emption just like #TurkeyPurge & 1937.” 481

“@Jack We will start a rival service if this keeps up because @Wikileaks & our supporters are threatened by a space of feudal justice.” 482

Jack Dorsey finally responded, “@Wikileaks all fair points. We are working to get here.” 483

Before they had actually banned Milo, Twitter “unverified” his account, 484removing the coveted blue checkmark found on celebrities’ social media accounts which confirm that it is in fact them and not a fan account or someone impersonating them. Having a verified social media account has some prestige to it because the person is seen as popular enough or “important” enough to warrant having such special treatment. 485So unverifying Milo was a step trying to take away from his status and growing popularity.

Meanwhile, countless Black Lives Matter supporters call for killing cops, and crazy liberals repeatedly called for mass shootings at Donald Trump campaign events and for killing white people; and even to assassinate President Trump. 486Throughout 2016 I documented repeated instances like this on my YouTube channel. 487

Twitter was sued by an American woman whose husband was killed by an ISIS attack in Jordan where he was working as a contractor for what she alleged was providing material support to terrorists because so many radical Muslims were posting ISIS propaganda. The lawsuit claimed, “Without Twitter, the explosive growth of ISIS over the last few years into the most feared terrorist group in the world would not have been possible.” 488Twitter even verified the account of the Muslim Brotherhood which has been designated a terrorist organization in several countries, and allows an account dedicated to Hamas, the radical Palestinian Sunni-Islamic organization which has almost 50,000 followers. 489

When rapper Azealia Banks threatened to have Sarah Palin gang raped by a bunch of black men, Twitter didn’t penalize her account. 490Banks had also bullied and harassed a child actor from the Disney Channel, but again there was no action taken to even temporarily suspend her account. 491It was only after she called One Direction singer Zayn Malik a “faggot” that her account was suspended. 492

Meanwhile, after I posted a meme saying there were only two genders, I was sent an email from Twitter’s Support department encouraging me to delete the tweet and saying my account was under review to see if I violated their no “hateful conduct” policy.

James O’Keefe had his account temporarily suspended shortly after he announced he would release a new undercover investigation into a democrat candidate for the U.S. Senate. 493O’Keefe’s Project Veritas organization would later release damning footage of democrat operatives discussing voter fraud and planning to use stink bombs at an inaugural ball which led to several arrests. 494The Drudge Report’s tweets have been censored using the “sensitive content” filter, 495and at least 32 of Donald Trump’s tweets encouraging people to get out the vote in key battleground states like Florida and Wisconsin vanished shortly after he posted them and couldn’t be seen unless you had their exact URLs. 496

Twitter suspended World Net Daily’s account for 12 hours because of a tweet including a link to a story they wrote about former DNC chair Donna Brazile allegedly being upset that a private investigator had been hired to look into the murder of Seth Rich. He was a DNC staffer who many suspect may have been the person who leaked DNC insider emails to Wikileaks shortly before the election. 497

Twitter even suspended the account of a Christian mother for posting ‘homophobic’ remarks for denouncing an article in Teen Vogue instructing kids on how to have anal sex with each other. 498

Since banning Milo Yiannopoulos caused #FreeMilo to become the number one trend from all his supporters tweeting their criticism of his ban, Twitter began “shadow banning” popular conservative accounts which covertly limits the visibility of their tweets to others. 499It’s a more subtle way of censoring someone since their account isn’t getting shut down and specific tweets aren’t causing their account to get suspended, so the tactic of shadow banning quietly restricts the reach that the user has. This seems to be the new preferred method of cracking down on conservatives because this “soft censorship” doesn’t raise as many alarms because as you can imagine when a popular user gets suspended, people notice and then start aggressively spreading the word on Twitter about the latest victim of censorship.

Twitter also experimented with locking accounts temporarily if people tweeted profanity to celebrities. 500They appear to have abandoned this method in favor of enabling mute lists and automatic profanity filters that users can activate which will prevent any tweet with profanity or custom words or phrases of their choice from showing up in their feed.

They also enabled block lists, which have been compiled by different groups, and once added to a person’s account automatically block hundreds, or even thousands of users, based on any number of criteria. 501If someone blocks you, then they won’t get any notifications when you tweet to them, and you can’t access their feed to see their tweets. Some people I’m blocked by include Rosie O’Donnell, CNN’s Jim Acosta, actress Leslie Jones, singer John Legend, model Chrissy Teigen, Tonight Show band leader Questlove, the DJ Moby, rapper Ice T, Andrew Dice Clay, Amy Schumer, and many more.

Twitter admitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that they estimated over 23 million of their active user accounts were “bots,” or fake accounts run by automated computer programs which then post spam or are used by people who buy followers so they can look more popular than they are. 502A later study put the number at almost 48 million bots, or between 10% to 15% of the active accounts on the platform. 503

A lot of bots have an attractive and scantly clad girl as the profile picture and do nothing other than respond to tweets which use certain keywords by posting a scripted message along with a link to a porn site, or have the porn site linked up on the account’s bio hoping to dupe people into visiting it after getting their attention from the bot responding to their tweets. Of course Twitter attempts to detect and shut down these porn bot accounts, but it is an ongoing battle.

After Bruce Jenner announced ‘her’ new name, someone set up the @She_Not_He bot on Twitter which would tweet a response to anyone who referred to Caitlyn Jenner as a he, to “politely correct” them. 504About 10,000 tweets were sent from the account before it was shut down. 505This bot was obviously created by a social justice warrior who wanted to defend ‘Caitlyn’ Jenner and shows how they can be used for propaganda purposes.
