We are going to have to have the word “influence” more specifically defined when it comes to election interference.
Last week, Elon Musk revealed what many of us have known for quite some time.
Twitter was shadow banning conservatives.
More specifically, it was shadow banning some Republican candidates during the election cycle.
Bombshell
Conservative commentator Ian Miles Cheong posed a question to Musk, one which came back with a rather disturbing answer…
Yes

Shadow banning, for those of you that have yet to experience this, is what everything appears normal, but your account is more or less put in a bubble and receives virtually no reach.
Musk is looking to end the covert nature of this.
He announced that the company is now working on software that will enable you to request a report on if you were shadow banned, the reason why, and the ability to appeal the decision.
Twitter is working on a software update that will show your true account status, so you know clearly if you’ve been shadowbanned, the reason why and how to appeal

Musk has now released two sets of files that have showed massive censorship of conservatives over the last few years.
Now there is also the question of what happens to Jack Dorsey, who lied under oath about shadow banning…

Last time I checked, lying to Congress is a crime and can land you in the big house.
