@CraigSilverman @acfou If only more journalists would cover the ad fraud / ad tech scene more closely.

.@hakosam: FYI, @CraigSilverman knows all about the data at my pinned tweet showing how heavily Twitter censors replies from liberals to Trump officials, from dissidents to Rouhani, etc. Yet, he refuses to call them on it even tho the data is easily reproducible.

.@hakosam: Trump's horrific, but the NYT is owned by one of the world's richest men (did you know that?) They push his pro-Big Biz line. And, you enable that.

From @24aheaddotcom_
.@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.

From @24aheaddotcom_
.@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.

.@JaneLytv: hey Jane, @CraigSilverman knows all about the data at my pinned tweet showing how heavily Twitter censors all kinds of users. Maybe the two of you can work together to expose Twitter lying (via ghosting) to millions of their users. #nicar19

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?
