You make valid points and I don't know why are you downvoted. But Twitter is not a journalism play, it is a platform play and purported to be neutral. If there is blatant supression then they will antagonize atleast 50% of Americans which would be terrible for their bottom line.
- IfOnlyYouKnew 6y ago"Platforms" and "publishers" are not actually legal categories, not mutually exclusive, and any sorting of Twitter into one of those categories happened entirely in your head. Twitter also doesn't specifically call itself "neutral" (some "publisher" comes to mind doing that far more).
- srtjstjsj 6y ago1. Twitter is absolutely a journalism play. Look at the front page. 2. Neutral doesn't mean "whoever can game the algorithm wins" 3. Less than 50% of Americans are opposed to suppressing sharing of articles like the one suppressed.
- triceratops 6y agoYSK there's no requirement for a "platform" to be "neutral". By law platforms can do whatever the heck they like with regards to content moderation. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying or misinformed.
