These ads on this site - I feel like I’m watching late night TV in the 80s. The equivalent of commercials for the Bamboo Steamer, the Ginzu knife and Popeil’s Pocket Fisherman. “But wait, there’s more.” This is what Elon meant when he proclaimed the advertisers are back?

New York Post: FBI, Big Tech, Big Media: Partners in collusion
By Michael Goodwin
"...Moreover, as Intercept reporter Lee Fang has detailed and as a former Twitter official confirmed, the FBI held weekly meetings in Silicon Valley with tech officials about policing disinformation. Of course, their definition of disinformation was so broad as to include virtually anything that made Joe Biden or Democrats
look bad."
"But knowing all that, it still would be naive to think we know the whole story. For example, we don't know who in the FBI was running the censoring operation, whether it was a rogue outfit or came from the top. Nor do we know if the operation continues now...."
"There is also a good chance the censorship effort involved other federal agencies. Fang and his Intercept colleague Ken Klippenstein reported in October that documents and court testimony show the Department of Homeland Security has "an expansive effort . . . to influence tech platforms." ..."
"The New York Times, for example, waited four days before printing a lazy article that tried to undermine the story by saying some Post newsroom employees were uncertain of its veracity. It's shocking even now to realize Times reporters had access to Tony Bobulinski, Hunter Biden's former partner, but refused to print that he confirmed the authenticity of the email naming Joe Biden as "the big guy" slated for a secret 10% cut in a joint venture with a Chinese conglomerate...."
"Did the president of the United States profit from the selling of access to him, and is he compromised in dealing with foreign powers? No one in Big Media seems to care.
"The other possibility for media complicity is they might have gone along as a favor to their FBI minders because it fit their shared agenda to defeat Trump and elect Biden.
"After all, they were teammates in a similar effort in 2016, the Russia hoax to try to elect Hillary Clinton. That one failed and they were determined to succeed this time. So better not look too closely at Biden...."
"Another unresolved piece of that alliance is the cabal of 51 former intelligence officers who signed a letter saying the laptop had "all the earmarks" of Russian disinformation. None had seen the laptop, but their letter became the story the media seized on and offered Joe Biden a lifeline in his next debate with Trump. Some signers still defend the letter, and not one has apologized for misleading the public...."
"And lest you forget their power, remember that Joe Biden was elected president because millions of voters were not allowed to learn The Post had unmasked his deep connections to his son's corrupt schemes.
"The people who did that are not threats to democracy. They are its destroyers."

During his testimony before Congress in September 2018, then-Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey was asked whether Twitter was "shadowbanning prominent Republicans."

"No," Dorsey responded. #TwitterFiles2 pic.twitter.com/1w2uvQaRtG
There are many, many, many, MANY articles about this and experts to talk to but the basic question is this: Why do you think your feed isn't entirely bot-promoted trolls, dick pics, animal torture videos, and gibberish you can't understand?

I'm all for this Twitter Files project though, now that the books are open really interested in getting insight into the company's direct dealings with intelligence agencies, repressive governments, and shadowy off-shore bank-like entities.

When Ella Irwin, who now runs Trust & Safety, joined Twitter earlier this year, almost no one was working on child safety.

Yoel Roth made an entire career out of intellectualizing his homosexual fetishes - even writing his PhD dissertation on his random GRINDr encounters. He then got put in charge of censoring "hate speech" on twitter. A path to power and a reality most GOP voters aren't aware of. pic.twitter.com/EmhuNCHxtP

The political establishment did not want Trump elected the first time nor reelected for a second term. If that makes Trump weak or ineffective, than he definitely was.

Maybe but the FBI interfered in the 2016 election to torpedo Hillary's campaign. This is nothing new for the FBI. It is just new that they went after your side. I believe the FBI should be ended and replaced with a new Federal police force with better controls. Do you?

I don't know. Bad conduct, such as Trump Companies', should be investigated.
In early July 2016, after a year-long investigation that reportedly cost more than $20 million, Comey pronounced that "no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case" against her for mishandling classified information. This caused Republicans to erupt in rage.
Four months later11 days before the 2016 presidential electionComey sent a letter to Congress saying he was reopening the investigation in light of new information found, but not yet examined, by the F.B.I. It was now the Democrats' turn to erupt in ragea rage that only grew when two days before the election Comey announced there was nothing new or incriminating about the purportedly new information.

Since when does the FBI hold press conferences about the people they have investigated and are not pressing charges. Particularly in that extraordinary event when they presented Hillary negatively even though they were not indicting. At the same time members of the FBI were leaking info about the Hillary investigation to the Trump campaign.
During this same time the FBI was suppressing information that Trump was being investigated.
You seem to want your cake and eat it too. You seem to only object when the FBI interferes against your team. I condemn all their political interference. They have a long history of it. Repeal and Replace the FBI. Do you agree?
