.@MelissaMermaid: FYI, @CraigSilverman knows all about the reproducible data at my pinned tweet showing how heavily Twitter censors liberals who reply to Trump officials. They probably censor dissenters replying to oppressive regimes around the world. Craig refuses to cover it.

.@dougiegyro: FYI, @CraigSilverman knows all about the real data at my pinned tweet that shows how heavily Twitter censors *all* kinds of users (and that thus shows how Trump/Parscale are lying). It's valid, reproducible data, but for some odd reason Craig refuses to cover it.

From @24aheaddotcom_
.@CraigSilverman: hey Craig, Twitter lies to millions of their users via ghosting. It's truly despicable behavior. Not only does Twitter ghost replies to Trump officials (many from libs), they also ghost replies from dissenters to foreign leaders. When will you call them on it?
