It wasn't fairly lopsided, it was extremely lopsided. Glenn Greenwald: "This thread proves 3 things: 1) Twitter execs were regularly meeting with FBI over what to censor. 2) Twitter's censorship was almost 100% aligned with t

That's because it's really just the caffeine causing a small adrenaline release. A lot of people don't realize that, I suspect. It's also why it can make you have to take a dump immediately. Caffeine doesn't amp you

So since their concerned have been proven justified, they don't get to talk about them because of their tone when they first raised the concern? They weren't crying wolf. They were right the whole time, which honestly justifies
