It happened yet again. Twitter software engineers and other executives have been caught on film admitting that they rig their algorithms to ban and shadow ban certain people. They admit they're using machine learning to suppress certain "ways of talking." They're trying to automate the process of identifying and suppressing certain stories and posts using Artificial Intelligence. It's blowing up all over Twitter. youtube.com/watch?v=64gTjdUrDFQ
Multiple lawsuits how now been filed. If you have been banned or suppressed, you should get in on the action.
James D'More is also suing Google, and the lawyer is representing multiple people. If you're in Silicon Valley, you should get in on that too because California has very strict laws about this stuff.
It's a free service they provide, they can do whatever the fuck they want
Ryan Gonzalez
t. Silicon Valley soy boy That's not how the law works, kiddo.
Evan Reyes
twitter is fading into irrelevance, they're not profitable and losing users, the anti-abuse bullshit is to improve their image before a buyout
Chase Carter
this will be ignored because most people hate trump so they don't really care
but it's actually a really really big deal. facebook is doing the same.
Put simply. They are using computer algorithms at a massive scale to punish and reward people for certain behaviors.
These silicon valley elites are literally applying computer algorithms so manipulate and influence culture.
This is an enormous amount of underhanded power that these people do not deserve, and should not have. Nobody should have it.
Samuel Martin
This guy is right - discrimination is not free and comes at a cost
Jack Barnes
>These silicon valley elites are literally applying computer algorithms so manipulate and influence culture. And to influence elections, which has legal implications.
Angel Thompson
at least the Chinese are open with their thought policing
Justin Stewart
law doesn't think so, even if I sort of agree.
Joseph Jenkins
I don't give a shit about your shitty politics, but Thiel showed some nice balls to go against the lads who fuck him in the ass in private.
Isaiah Campbell
Who cares about this stillborn of a company. How old is twitter now? 10 years? Not a single day of profit still.
The day orange nigger ditches twitter it'll implode and finally go the way of myspace.
And good riddance.
Luke Clark
Right wing is the new gay. Flaming parades, being persecuted by discriminatory corporations and governments.. No wonder many fags join the cause, as causes em nostalgia.
Nathan Perez
This is straight up brainwashing propaganda enabling elitism to drive a political hidden agenda. It doesn't matter if it's "good" or "bad" people or fucking hitler jugend or vegetarians defending menstruation cycle the issue is that they are manipulating speech. But this is where whole internet is going unfortunately. I hate these people and I hate this world where it's going. Why all of this is always happening in America? I know there are people who are paid to post on various websites and forums by lot of different nations and this happens on global scale but this is just next level. Twitter doesn't matter and so doesn't facebook but people are too stupid to stop using them. What next? Using ID card to just to use internet?
Adrian Collins
Besides looking at these guys who talk on the video - they are all low testosterone soy-frappe-fuck-a-latte drinkers with bad posture.
Jaxson Hill
I'm Just wanted to say that yes it's awful what's happening but it really is nice to see that there's other people like you who actually understand these issues and are against what they're doing. As long as there's folk like us, the elites won't win. we are the resistance! we are the infowarriors!
Colton Flores
>you got to go to Google to find the Conservative methinks not
Sebastian Hernandez
see, in the US of A, freedom of speech is a huge thing, regardless of whether or not it's blatant racism
in olde europa, they used to execute politicians for suppressing the truth
Adam Hall
Stop sucking seriousness out of real issues with your memespeak
Jayden White
it's crazy how social media company's are trying hard to push their political views or it's like somebody paid them to do it
Brayden Jenkins
Because unfortunately for you, America is a puritan state, even if you don't like it. Think to prohibitionism, the sudden witch hunt about sexual harassments, the war on drugs, the pervasive political correctness. As an eurofag, from an external prospective the root of all your evil is simply moral puritanism.
Then again, if shit goes down on the internet in Murica all the world will be influenced, but that's why these things always happen first on your side of the atlantic
Parker Watson
Private company, they can do whatever they want. You are literally using a service for free in exchange for your eyes on ads. You have zero recourse. And you have zero damages.
No damages no lawsuit. Gtfo back to Sup Forums with your bullshit.
Easton Davis
They do it for free.
Brody Torres
Freedom of speech only guarantees that the government cannot prosecute you for speaking your mind. You have no protections in the USA outside of that, retard.
Oliver Reed
They testified before Congress that they manipulate trending hashtags. Why are you surprised by this?
William Roberts
There needs to be laws about operating a public forum
Leo Cook
are americans even conscious lmao? i swear you can find a near identical response in any thread criticising america
Lincoln Ramirez
Those aren't Americans, those are Reddit commies. They copy paste that shit on every discussion about websites censoring shit pretending it makes them sounds like libertarians. Not a single person has fallen for it yet.
Jacob Jenkins
So what?
Jason Thompson
sue for what? I'm gonna sue Sup Forums because they banned me? what?
Isaac Edwards
No it doesn’t. You are allowed to influence elections, dumbass. That’s what free speech is. Jesus, fuck.
Joseph Scott
>needs to be
Thomas Ward
It's how the law works when they provide a service with rules and you click I accept to those rules.
Owen Perez
Corporations have free speech rights and political speech is the most protected kind of speech. Twitter can do what it wants. Quit acting like your autistic VR life is real.
not seeing anything resembling "ways of talking" on that list. what are you actually trying to say?
Logan Thompson
64271524 is a paid shill. Notice he is just posting mindless shit even though the OP image shows precisely what he's saying doesn't exist. They get paid per post and replies, btw.
Nathan Nelson
who gives a fuck twitter's shite anyway la
William Ortiz
Why do you think this is about technology when it's about technology companies? Do you even know what technology is? I'd rather have a thread about forks.
William Jones
>feeding an algo is le AI now back to your pseudo tech news site
Brandon Parker
oookay, i get it now. you are completely out of your mind. didn't mean to bother ya.
Oliver Barnes
Metal Gear Solid 2 did a good job predicting this.
Ryder Adams
>project veritas cmon now, if you want to be taken seriously put in a little effort
also who fucking cares, its twitter
start your fucking own site if you dont like the rules
Brandon Bell
>reddit shill copy pasting the same shit over and over again lmao
Aaron James
James O'Keffe has literally never done anything wrong.
Hunter Morris
>project veritas
lmao, this is baby tier propagandizing, go back
Michael Bailey
>rails against Twitter censoring content >Ok with O'Keffe jumpcutting an interview with a Post employee to completely obfuscate a dicussion and take said employee out of context.
By the way, Twitter can do all of this if they want. It's censorship, sure, but it's not a First Amendment issue.
Julian Gomez
not an argument, sweetie.
Ethan Harris

Blake Jones
Twitter is a privately owned company, full stop.
Unless you're an entitled snowflake millennial soyboy communist nu-male cuck, you will shut the fuck up and move to a different service, or create your own.
Deal with it, or eat shit. The world doesn't revolve around you just because you're white.
Grayson Campbell
You think they would be content with selling information to advertisers but noooo, they also have to control how everyone speaks.
Liam Gutierrez
>you will shut the fuck up and move to a different service, or create your own. we'll do that, fine >gets domain stolen oops, looks like the domain registrar didn't like you! Private company! >DDoS protection service drops you private company lol >DNS blocks you private company >credit card processor drops you private company, you don't need money anyway
Great system.
Blake Rivera
>what's a twitter?
virtue signaled into irrelevance boom
Cooper Campbell
In MGS2 the Illuminati were a shadow government run entirely by misanthropic computers that concluded that the best course for humanity was an existence of endless, transactional, global warfare.
If you want to think of Jack Dorsey as a stand-in for that, then be my guest. I'll be making fun of your dumb ass in the mean time.
Good goy! They should be allowed to slide Trump's personal messages to three-letter agencies to (((save America))) too, right?
Ayden Lewis
I dunno, I see more and more people using twitter more often even if they were neccesarily interested in using it before just because of the amount of people that go on it now, and in Japan especially this coudn't be further from the truth.
Cooper Gonzalez
Eat shit faggot. The left is crumbling, the future belongs to us.
Connor Lewis
Your problem is you assume I give a shit whether Twitter lives or dies.
I just find it amusing that insecure white boys like you feel entitled to a private service simply because you're born white.
Jeremiah Rivera
Milo is a brain-damaged (likely from tons of drug and sexual abuse) bipolar attention whore. He is nothing without an equally retarded following. He is the modern-day Ann Coulter.
Asher Allen
>a private service
A safe space, as it were.
Michael Wood
Being private is different than being above the law. K?k.
Luis Green
This is basically a fundamental aspect of America, if you don't believe in free speech and instead seek to censor everyone around you, you don't even follow american cultural norms. You may as well move to a 3rd world banana republic dictatorship.
Reminder that the constitution DOES apply to corporations if those corporations have a de-facto monopoly on a public space, which Google and Twitter DO.
Julian Taylor
>companies and individuals shouldn't be held to the same standards as governments in matters of freedom Found the anti-freedom shill. If your ideologies held water you wouldn't need to censor people who opposed them. This is why nobody bothers to censor flat earthers or creationists-- but anti-globalists? Help! Somebody censor them! They're having opinions!
Wyatt Kelly
I don't know if you had heard but America voted for trump. The left is in full delusion mode.
Bentley Butler
There's no law that says an internet company has to allow whiny little micropenis white boy bitches on its website.
Matthew Robinson
Censoring public speech isn't an aspect of free speech, authoritarian.
Colton Robinson
What about the other guy suing them, Roger Stone? Apparently they're suing in an antitrust case.
Kevin Robinson
>namefag reading comprehension
Oliver Rodriguez
>Private company, they can do whatever they want.
Not if they have a monopoly in the public space they're operating within.
Thomas Perry
twitter is hardly the only social media company, dumbass. "twitter" is not a sector of industry
Hunter Roberts
It is a first amendment issue because Twitter and Google control such a huge swathe of the discussion platforms online and by all appearances are colluding with each other on top of it to censor views they don't approve of.
That ends up being no different than if the government were doing the censorship, which in the end is just an attempt by special interests to run around the constitution protections Americans have.
People like you are actual genuine traitors to what it even means to be American.
Juan Harris
>repeating basically what he just said
uh, ok?
Justin Anderson
Roger Stone is another attention-seeking sleazebag, like everyone else who associated with Trump.
Also trying to frame Twitter as a monopoly (in a social media landscape utterly dominated by Facebook) is laughable.
Jace Phillips
There is already plenty of legal precedent that private companies are subject to the first amendment if they control a monopoly on public speech.
You are wrong.
Lincoln Foster
do you suck Twatter's dick or what?
>they all need to be taken down a peg or five, especially the ones that think they have a right to "steer" people's opinions.
Nolan Sanchez
twitter is hardly the only social media company, dumbass. "twitter" is not a sector of industry
Jace Wright
So in a pre-internet media landscape, should liberals have sued Fox News (an openly, aggressively right-leaning media company) ten years ago for "controlling the discussion" over much smaller cable news networks like CNN?
Are you sure you're not absolutely retarded?
Ryan Morales
A good example of this would be the phone company.
AT&T can't listen to your phonecall and then ban you from calling people because you told someone over the phone that you'd vote for Trump.
Guess what, asshole. Repealing the Fairness Doctrine means that your weak whiny ass isn't safe from the internet either. Eat shit.
Carson Perry
>its a thinly veiled Sup Forums thread on Sup Forums episode
Eli Reed

Gavin Campbell
Where were all these advocates of free speech when Trump banned the CDC from using certain words?
Elijah White
Some states have laws against discrimination for political affiliation. So no they can't.
Liam Cook
>That's not how the law works, kiddo.
If their TOS mentions that they can ban you at their discretion for any reason, then yes, that's exactly how the law works.
Oliver Carter
>It's ok when my bloated oversensitive racist senile president does it.
Jayden Williams
>twitter isn't just a forum, it's a way of life, a new paradigm in communication, and if you're not on it, you're not a part of society It's your fault it got to this.
Adam Hall
>Metal Gear Solid 2 did a good job predicting this.
George Orwell did a good job of predicting it 30 years ago.
Hunter Cook
>not criticizing both sides but seizes the moment to bash the "KKK Russian agent" pres Stay mad, snowflake :)))))))))
Evan James
Wasn’t It’s a private business they can do what they want? The argument against forcing that baker to make a cake for that gay wedding?
Luke James
I hope twitter bans Trump. The conservashit tears would be delicious.
Isaac Martinez
fox was the one who came in to compete after cnn, abc, cbs, etc. not the other way around, dip shit.
Hudson Gutierrez
George Orwell wasn't alive in 1988.
Nolan Hill
Are you trying to tell me that people only care about things when it benefits them? That's ridiculous.
