Breitbart’s Milo Yiannopoulos has been able to confirm, using industry sources, that Twitter employs a system that buries conservative tweets and hides them in search engines by “shadow banning.”
The platform is simply not a free-flowing exchange of ideas. There is an unseen hand manipulating winners and losers.

Why ain’t there a conservative vehicle similar to twitter?
With a name that is more manly than twitter, and tweet.
Let trolls come there to be eaten.
It must be muy mas macho, Robert Stack macho.

As of Jan. 29th, the short interest in Twitter stock was just under 8.5% of the float. It will be interesting to see if hedge funds really go short and drive the price down further. It closed up today.
Twitter is a private entity, so they can censor all they want. That being said, Twitter, like all social media platforms, promotes itself as a forum for exchange of ideas – once Twitter starts censoring what it does not like and this becomes public knowledge, users will gravitate to something else and the downward spiral will likely be permanent and final.
Leftists are o.k. with this, but eventually you will get a platform for leftists which is only viewed by leftists. Air America (as well as MSNBC) have already shown that this is not a profitable or even self-sustaining business model.

This is the PERFECT
“crisis makes opportunity”
for the Right.
Conservatives don’t belong on twatter in the first place.
Short statements and mindless memes are territory we should gladly cede to the infantile party.
Like Eleanor says, “Tweeting is for the birds.”

Twitter killed the tweets with features- now it’s all ads, bad art and videos. When it was just snark exchanged in 140 characters or less it was much better and more fun.
ALL social media needs to choke on its own progressive bile and die.
Twitter is ALREADY dying, and not a moment too soon. I am tired of being surrounded by walking-dead zombies obsessed with Smartphones. These clowns all need to get real, authentic lives.
I get the impression that u-tube does this also – every time I look at the crap they suggest as recommended videos when using the Roku box. Every time I want to watch any of Joe Dan’s Frogleg videos, I have to type in the name — and they are never suggested by u-tube even when I type it in a dozen times. That’s google for you, they own u-tube. Fucking leftists!
I’ve never had any problems with twitter or facebook because I refuse to use them. But somebody has to do, or we need some new conservative owned social media platforms. Come on Trump, just do it! You got the dough.
Lazlo – good idea! But in the near-term, we Conservatives can create fake Twitter accts and go on there tweeting satirical parody tweets. Make statements like “our Dear Leader Obama is the savior of Mankind and must become President For Life”, “the Democrat(ic) Party is the only party for me. All other parties should be banned and all registered Rethuglicans and LibertyAryans should be rounded up and put in reeducation camps out in the desert”, “the Second Amendment should be abolished and all firearms should be confiscated so that only the police and military have weapons in order to make it easier to round up rightwing domestic terrorists” – the list is endless.
Anyone remember the Weird Al Yankovic movie “UHF”? Instead of Wheel Of Fish you can make up your own Leftist Wheel Of Hate and give ‘er a spin to select today’s Parody Tweet.
Twitter isn’t hiding conservative tweets. I see a ton of smart people without their heads up their asses mocking stupid neo-con twatwaffles daily. Don’t have to look far to find stupid conservative babble on Twitter, so take off your tinfoil cap, paranoid morons.
