Revision as of 17:26, 3 November 2021
Twitter is an American microblogging and social networking service. It has been used for censorship, psychological warfare, and promotion of pro-Western pro-capitalism colour revolutions.[1]
As of 2021, Twitter is partnering with Reuters (which is UK government-backed[2][3], CIA-linked[4]) in order to censor alternative views such as those who oppose the false narrative of Russiagate.[5][6]
Twitter's own internal documents confirm that it promotes center-right neoliberal politicians and diminishes the voice of the left and far-left.[7]
