The notion that Twitter's the place to go to see what's happening — destroyed by Twitter.
I would love to read an essay on the ever-morphing definition of misinformation/disinformation. Seems that it has gone from being a description of Holocaust denial/anti-vax to a word to tag any content that seems to help the political right? https://t.co/jdwLu2Uxdv

You're seeing the immense, unchallengeable, unaccountable power of Silicon Valley giants over the flow of information. Imagine if Google joins in.

What's so amazing is that they never wanted this role. It was foisted on them by people, led by journalists, demanding they censor: https://t.co/cFBfV97Ylt

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said it was “unacceptable” that the social media giant blocked users from sharing a Post exposé about Hunter Biden’s emails without providing a clear message as to why it was taking the action. Dorsey released his statement in a tweet Wednesday night — hours after a number of high-profile Republicans, including Sen. Josh Hawley, blasted the social media giant for blocking the stories from being shared on the platform.
“Our communication around our actions on the @nypost article was not great. And blocking URL sharing via tweet or DM with zero context as to why we’re blocking: unacceptable,” Dorsey wrote in the tweet. Twitter blocked users from sharing an article that indicated Hunter Biden introduced his father Joe to a Ukranian businessman — charging that “hacked materials” were used in the story.
The company also locked the Post’s main Twitter account, which is still inactive, hours after it went dark Wednesday afternoon. Social media giant Facebook also said it would limit the spread of the article, pending a review by independent fact checkers. Incensed by the move, Sen. Hawley sent letters to both companies, demanding answers as to why the platforms “censored” the stories.
ALSO: This is more than a "Streisand Effect" situation, which is that something that was hidden is now getting seen by many more people. What Streisand hid — the view of her house — was something that felt private to her, but was just a house, and we knew she had a house. This is news that has been put off limits by the media giants — Facebook and Twitter — and you have to make an extra effort to get to it, and that effort you make reinforces the experience, making it feel more important, more memorable. You had to transgress their limitations to get to it, so you have a bit of a sense that you're a hero and line-crosser. That might predispose you to thinking what you get to has special value.
