Given the articles on the sidebar, I am inclined to require independent corroboration of these claims.
If Twitter is taking the time to censor tweets critical of the government, then they're doing a bad job. Certainly, if I was Twitter and wanted to silence Dowd without people noticing that I was doing it, I'd just shadowban him.
> Either eleven people decided to un-retweet Dowd within five minutes of each other, or Twitter decided to censor a tweet critical of the government by limiting it’s visibility.
Or, Twitter, being a very large and complex distributed system, sometimes has to show an approximation of things like re-tweet and follower counts.
Or, Twitter, wanting to make it harder for spammers to game their systems, deliberately shows users delayed or only kinda accurate stats.
Or a mixture of 1, 3, and 4.
