How do we best inform Twitter of these violations? I’ve been reporting on specific accounts for years & pretty much all of them remain. Last year Antifa used Twitter to direct comrades to swarm me after I ran into a hotel following a violent street beating:https://t.co/qOKzR3hsNy

Obviously, Andy Ngo (or anybody else) getting beaten up is detestable, but his self-congratulatory tone and the references to himself in heroic terms is undercutting his message. Could be the lingering cognitive issues he mentions.

Wow, this is a petty attack on Musk. The left is losing its mind over Musk's Twitter takeover.
He flat out lied about a devastating experience, I guess that you enjoy being led to, too.
Wow, they really owned that guy whose baby died either in his own arms or a foot away from him. Nice job!

At this point Ngo is willingly putting himself in harm's way every time he tries to do a story like this. He knows these groups know who he is and what will happen.
Should he be attacked? No. But when does his common sense kick in? A journalist should be reporting the story, not making himself the story.
Last I read after these attacks, he relocated abroad. He's a brave journalist.

An astounding passage here from officials at the Ontario, CA airport who got ghosted by Musk which shows how much damage the Boring Company has done.

16. The Twitter Files, Part One: How and Why Twitter Blocked the Hunter Biden Laptop Story
— Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) December 3, 2022
18. Twitter took extraordinary steps to suppress the story, removing links and posting warnings that it may be “unsafe.” They even blocked its transmission via direct message, a tool hitherto reserved for extreme cases, e.g. child pornography.
— Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) December 3, 2022
24. “They just freelanced it,” is how one former employee characterized the decision. “Hacking was the excuse, but within a few hours, pretty much everyone realized that wasn’t going to hold. But no one had the guts to reverse it.”
— Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) December 3, 2022
26. By this point “everyone knew this was fucked,” said one former employee, but the response was essentially to err on the side of… continuing to err. pic.twitter.com/2wJMFAUBoe

30. In one humorous exchange on day 1, Democratic congressman Ro Khanna reaches out to Gadde to gently suggest she hop on the phone to talk about the “backlash re speech.” Khanna was the only Democratic official I could find in the files who expressed concern. pic.twitter.com/TSSYOs5vfy

"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." -- (maybe) Benjamin Disraeli, popularized by Mark Twain
Twitter clearly made a bad call in aggressively censoring that story. However, it was also widely reported in places other than Twitter, so I'm not sure I'm buying that this really had that much impact.
Also, Richard Medhurst literally works for Iranian state-run media, so I don't think he has a leg to stand on when it comes to government censorship.

Yup, Twitter effed this up on their own. The government didn't have to do anything.
GOP is delusional if it thinks the laptop would have impacted the election. Trump is under investigation for countless crimes and his family is a bunch of fraudsters who participated in the government and have reaped the financial rewards for doing so.
Hunter and Don Jr have similar habits, but Hunter apparently is dumb enough to document them.
Trump lost by 8m votes and you have to be a lunatic to think some stupid stories about Hunter Biden would have moved the needle. I haven't heard a single GOPer on BI claim that Trump family shenanigans would impact their decision to vote for him in 2024 so why would they expect the Hunter stuff to have impacted 2020? I mean, FFS, Trump has his Access Hollywood tape and still won because the GOP never cared about character.
It's like sports fans who want fouls/infractions to be called on their opponent and ignore every missed call that benefits them.
Trump was and is incredibly unpopular with anyone who has half a brain and that was the story of the election. Hunter has nothing to do with that narrative and after the Comey/FBI nonsense in 2016, the country wasn't going to let a stupid non issue impact the election.

Well it's more like a story of truth. The FBI had Hunters laptop on them and was advising Facebook and others not to trust the laptop story.

Post a link. Matt Taibbi just said no such thing happened with Twitter in his thread to nowhere. Also, that was during Trump's Presidency so you must be really mad at Trump if you believe that.
