It's also not the first time Twitter has censored things. It's been going on for years. The #GamerGate hashtag at one point, for a period of time, returned results for "wine" and "beach". A very mature and cute nod towards "whine and bitch" because a few Twitter workers were closely related to a few prominent "anti-GamerGate" people. This happened in December 2015, I don't remember the period of time it lasted (hours or days). Not to mention certain hashtags were prevented from trending or deliberately removed from the 'Trending' area. #GamerGate at one point was large enough to get any hashtag trending that they wanted. Think of it like /r/The_Donald getting to the front page of Reddit prior to the last algorithm change. It would happen and it would happen every day. Any hashtag that was "obviously #GG" would be removed from the trending list. Any hashtag "hijacked" by #GG would be removed from the trending list. Any tag #GG managed to push into trending would magically disappear not too long after - even though with their numbers they could keep a tag trending for several hours, not just several minutes. E: Also Scott Adams isn't the only one to notice this. Many pro-Trump people have checked their engagement numbers pre-inauguration day and post-inauguration day. Going from consistent 1000+ retweets/favs to < 10 with no change in behavior, just that their tweets are no longer showing in their Follower's feeds and thus no longer receiving interactions.
