Admittedly requests from both sides, though more request were taken/followed from Dems, which doesn't surprise anyone.
The directness or ease of these request are a little surprising.

Taibbi said they were requests, right?
Twitter were forced into doing the censoring? Seems like Twitter was more than happy to do the government (really political party) bidding.
You are so short sighted you can't see past your nose.
"Requests" in return for section 230 support maybe? Or perhaps no congressional hearings in to Twitter impropriety? Or maybe tax breaks? Audit protection? Etc etc etc.
If you can't see how fulfilling congressional "requests" would benefit Twitter then you are even more stupid that we think. Which would be impressive.
Of course I don't expect you to understand this with a pea brain incapable of thinking through logical scenarios.

You are 100% correct. Quid pro quo could certainly be alleged here.
Does it seem like Twitter was doing anything against their will though? Were they being forced?

Let’s not forget Twitter was cooking the books on MAUs and other metrics in their SEC filings.
“Nice Twitter you have here, would be a shame if if the SEC looked into it”.
Ultimately, the potential for corruption and coercion is strong as long arse we have two tiers to our “justice” and regulatory systems. Impossible to dismiss the possibility.

It's not just progs though. The email shows Hahn asking why he wasn't contacted before censoring news articles started. I would be less surprised to see Biden's team having a direct line.
Figured there would be arms length kept between those levels though.

Makes you wonder.
Progs found out they could use private industry to do their bidding, and try to work around that pesky constitution. Technocracy is the future, I believe this is simply a start. They'll hide their fingerprints next time.

Mean to tell me that politicians use their power to both influence and benefit massive corporations to meet their own ends to the detriment of the public at large? Im bewildered, shocked and dismayed by these revelations.

Yep. Imagine if he were tied to Trump.
The IC and FBI are very close with the NYT and the WaPo.
The NYT tried to shut down the Biden story using the IC, and its painfully obvious that these CIA and NSA people fricking lied. Not going rogue, but in a concerted effort to protect the election.
quote:
The New York Times quietly deleted its assertion that an October article from the New York Post about the business dealings of Joe Biden’s son Hunter was “unsubstantiated.” In the reworked report, the outlet reported on a Federal Election Commission decision that dismissed a Republican complaint arguing Twitter violated election laws by blocking users from sharing the story during the heat of the 2020 election.
When the New York Times posted the report early Monday afternoon, it read: “The Federal Election Commission has dismissed Republican accusations that Twitter violated election laws in October by blocking people from posting links to an unsubstantiated New York Post article about Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s son Hunter Biden.”

This is a classic about face by people who thought the notion was ludicrous back when it was happening in real time and others were pointing it out.
I'm not saying that's you, but it's definitely the dismissive attitude of people who think it's too late for consequences for their "team" who now feel free to let the truth get out unmolested well after the fact.

So, what's wrong with that? Government influence Fox news has more viewers than. What a nothingburger. 1st amendment isn't absolute and Elon is a fascist.

I’m with you. And yeah, shite libs are as tribal as any. I hope you didn’t take my post as a defense of this. I deeply loathe the mingling of giant corporate interests with our bullshite 2 party system. I just can’t bring myself to be surprised or outraged by this. Guess maybe it’s just a numbness or nihilism that I’ve developed. Maybe one day the people will set aside bullshite about “groomers” and “Nazis” and form some type of solidarity in the face of this but I won’t hold my breath. Everyone has been so deeply and irreversibly hard wired to hate their neighbors and all that does is benefit the ruling class of which we will never be a part.

No bro, it's perfectly normal for a government party to be able to shut down the media and American speech via private companies. I mean Fox news bro.

Democrats are domestic terrorists.
This news should surprise nobody.

I didn't take your post any way, and I am not surprised either, since it has been obvious for a long time. But it's going to piss me the frick off when nothing happens after indisputable proof is put out there and every dickhead who called it a loony conspiracy just go "meh, yea we know that shite happens. Move on."

Does anything ever happen in these instances?

The only consequences elites ever face is mild public embarrassment. The White House has been a revolving door of war criminals for decades with no consequences. Banks and Wall Street fleeced the American public and were rewarded with a bailout.
