The most amazing Big Tech move to keep its censorship regime always in alignment with the USG was how FB had a rule banning praise for hate groups, which explicitly included Azov. Soon as the war began, FB created an exemption to allow praise for Azov: https://t.co/zYbWyRfKuj — PolitiTweet.org

Again, it is vital never to forget that the leading *advocates of internet censorship* are corporate "journalists." Read that Vox article applauding Big Tech for censoring in alignment with USG/CIA goals. Note that it also includes TikTok, eager to appease CIA to remain in US: https://t.co/nQZdSXtg7K — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Every new or purported crisis - Russiagate, "the Insurrection," Hunter Biden's laptop, COVID - is exploited to escalate censorship. But the most effective was Ukraine. Here's @voxdotcom at the start of the war *celebrating* Big Tech's "siding" with USG: https://t.co/ARM2byPaPZ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@WinningerR The article doesn't USDS is a US security state agency. Read it again, including the Reuters article. It's about TikTok appeasing USG/CIA with moderation decisions - their censorship has been pro-Ukraine from the start - and turning censorship over to US-run independent proxies. https://t.co/FnHY1PXpzk — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

What is newsworthy — and alarming — is not the removal of a video excerpt from our news program. But what is most certainly notable is that the U.S. national security state has leveraged threats to ban TikTok into control over the platform's content: https://t.co/sadpTFkhZX — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@polyrealism As a condition to remaining in the US, TikTok is outsourcings its "content moderation" decisions to companies controlled by the US, and doing everything possible to appease the CIA, FBI and Pentagon to stay in the US: https://t.co/0CFlWBq10E — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Ironically, our report wasn't even critical of Zelensky per se. Instead, it showed how the Western media completely reversed its own reporting on Ukraine and Zelensky the minute Russia invaded. Watch the exact segment that TikTok (ie, the USG) banned: https://t.co/DyN1RZLPMH — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

When we learned it was TikTok - rather than FB or Google - that censored our critical report on Zelensky, we were surprised since China has no interest in shielding Zelensky's image. Once we learned the US Security State has commandeered this censorship power, it made sense. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

For years, US officials and their media allies denounced China, Russia and Iran as despotic for conditioning the ability of Big Tech platforms to maintain access to their countries on their willingness to censor. Now, the US Security State has done exactly that with TikTok. https://t.co/AaE6e4dXGL — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: Reflecting New U.S. Government Control of TikTok's Censorship Decisions, Our Report Criticizing President Zelensky Was Deleted https://t.co/sadpTFjKap — PolitiTweet.org

@RW_Bert You can't keep track of a two-step logical train of thought. You make a point, then when someone shows you the evidence negating it, your brain moves to a totally different point without realizing you did so. Also, the article was about Tucker attacking Kevin McCarthy. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@RW_Bert Like this, or how about how they bash Mitch McConnell almost every night: https://t.co/GWKJhKfT7X — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Fox hosts are vastly more critical of top GOP politicians than NBC/MSNBC/CNN hosts are of leading Dem politicians, but because - in their closed information bubble - it's the right who are "cultists," they have no idea this is true and can't believe it even when you show them. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

NBC journalists and a bunch of their liberal followers shocked and confused Fox allows @TulsiGabbard to aggressively and adversarially interview a GOP politician because that never happens with a Dem politician in their world and they don't want it to. It makes no sense to them: — PolitiTweet.org

Starting, live, in 2 minutes: We'll review what we regard as our most important stories of the year, to see the thematic themes and common dynamics driving them, to understand better what happened in 2022 and to anticipate 2023: https://t.co/rGNCLJ1U1P — PolitiTweet.org

To his credit, I suppose, Harris tries to be candid about what he really thinks and the rationale for it. He thus described the overarching view of the elite political/media class: anything - lying, censorship, authoritarianism - is justified if used to defeat Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I genuinely regard this Sam Harris clip from August - where he admits he viewed *anything* as justifiable to stop Trump - as one of the most important of 2022. For our @SystemUpdate_ tonight reviewing the key stories of 2022 - starting in 15 minutes - we're beginning with this. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@zrahul2020 @unclecaviar I wouldn't think it'd be that weird for a journalist to save things that a world leader has said about their reporting, but in this case, I didn't. Do these people not know about the ease of searching tweets on Twitter or the internet generally? https://t.co/J8sDLXD4gy — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@unclecaviar Right, but what about all the things that I just showed you that Lula said? How are you rationalizing this to yourself? Is he, too, a useful idiot for hidden interests? Is he lying the way you said Jacobin lied? Is he misinformed about his own life and in need of your guidance? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@nathanhjb I know that lack of integrity is disqualifying. That's exactly what I'm advocating that Adam Schiff be removed from the House Intelligence Committee as soon as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Tonight at 7pm ET live, we'll broadcast our last @SystemUpdate_ of 2022. We'll be back at our regular time on Monday, January 2. For tonight's show, we'll examine what we regard as the most important stories we covered in 2022 and the themes they reveal: https://t.co/rGNCLJ1U1P — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@unclecaviar Have you ever explained your theory to Lula that this isn't what happened, since he clearly seems to think that is what happened, as his repeated statements, below, demonstrate? Tell him you're a brave anonymous American Communist who has come to help him see the truth.✊ https://t.co/1rq2H0jMaQ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@glooshed @unclecaviar How can you be so stupid? Reporting isn't "words." We published documents showing severe corruption by the lead judge and lead prosecutors in Lula's case as well as many others, leading the Supreme Court to overturn his conviction, allowing him to run. https://t.co/mxyzrVqTGJ — PolitiTweet.org

@TheMajorityUSA @AdamSchiff He asserted as fact that Russia was responsible for the production of the materials on Hunter Biden's laptop and that those materials were "disinformation," a claim that virtually every major media outlet has now acknowledged is false. Many, many others. https://t.co/HEMtCD2yym — PolitiTweet.org

Pelosi-led Dems not only created that brand new precedent, but also created this one by rejecting GOP's nominees to be on 1/6 Committee. As always, Dems never imagine their new precedents will be used against them: https://t.co/Ke6kW6uxjh — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

How many days until Adam Schiff - the most compulsive liar and the most authoritarian member of Congress -- is finally stripped of his position as senior Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, using this new precedent created by Pelosi-led Dems? https://t.co/ZVKTEAbvI8 — PolitiTweet.org

@unclecaviar You mean aside from things like this? https://t.co/Te7MZDwy5o — PolitiTweet.org
