From my limited understanding as a Canadian, Twitter is more accurately a tool of the _Democratic Party run national security state_. I don’t recall them really ever playing ball with the past administration.
- koprulusector 5y agoWell, I mean, who likes fascists? Seriously, though, Twitter didn’t seem to care a whole lot til certain executive official accounts were attempting to sow public mistrust of free and fair elections in the US.
- Nextgrid 5y agoTwitter didn't take action against these certain accounts until it was clear their show was over. These certain accounts (well, one of them at least) have been misbehaving for a while, but Twitter didn't want to bite the hand that fed them. When it became clear that this hand would soon fade into irrelevance, suddenly Twitter started caring to protect its PR and appease the upcoming new "hand".
- NoGravitas 5y agoPretty sure they would have played ball with a Romney administration, or even a Cruz administration. The national security state is bipartisan, but it is by definition establishment.
