Twitter will soon begin deleting the names of 1.5 billion accounts.
The patron of the Elon Musk platform himself quitted it, explaining that "these are obvious account cancellations with no tweets and access for years".
Meanwhile, the second part of the "Twitter Files" emerges, published by the new owner of the platform who in recent days had revealed the blocking by the social network, in the previous management, of the history of Hunter Biden's computer with potentially compromising emails, published by «New York Post» a few weeks before the 2020 election.
Tesla's patron relies on the analyzes of Bari Weiss, a former New York Times and Wall Street Journal journalist, now director of 'Free Press'.
"A new investigation - writes Weiss - reveals that the teams of Twitter employees built blacklists, prevented unfavorable tweets from becoming trendy and limited the visibility of entire accounts or even trending topics". 30 posts retweeted by Musk - in secret, without informing users".
"Twitter once had a mission to 'empower everyone to create and share ideas and information instantly'.
However, barriers have been erected along the road", denounces the journalist, citing some cases.
These include conservative-leaning accounts such as "Libs of TikTok" and even medical professionals perplexed by the lockdowns and official policies adopted by the Biden administration to contain the Covid-19 pandemic, such as Stanford University professor Jay Bhattacharya.
Bari also points the finger at 'shadow banning' (when the user is obscured without his knowledge), known among former Twitter executives as "Visibility filtering".
