Journalist Bari Weiss just dropped “part 2” of the bombshell “Twitter Files” that exposes the corruption that ran deep within Twitter under former management. This drop is titled “TWITTERS SECRET BLACKLISTS”, and the internet is going crazy.

She set the stage by confirming the information suppression tactics used by Twitter:

“A new #TwitterFiles investigation reveals that teams of Twitter employees build blacklists, prevent disfavored tweets from trending, and actively limit the visibility of entire accounts or even trending topics—all in secret, without informing users. Twitter once had a mission “to give everyone the power to create and share ideas and information instantly, without barriers.” Along the way, barriers nevertheless were erected.”

She then followed up with two brutal examples of people who were blacklisted for sharing narratives that didn’t align with Twitters far-left overlords:

So Dan Bongino had a “search blacklist”. Interesting. Surely that has nothing to do with his conservative views….right?

She continued by exposing their “do not amplify” blacklist on TP USA’s Charlie Kirk:

Incredible. I wonder how many liberal accounts they did this to? Probably zero.

She followed up with this tweet in which she explained that Twitter had previously denied that they took such actions:

Weiss followed up by tweeting the following:

“We control visibility quite a bit. And we control the amplification of your content quite a bit. And normal people do not know how much we do,” one Twitter engineer told us. Two additional Twitter employees confirmed. The group that decided whether to limit the reach of certain users was the Strategic Response Team – Global Escalation Team, or SRT-GET. It often handled up to 200 “cases” a day. But there existed a level beyond official ticketing, beyond the rank-and-file moderators following the company’s policy on paper. That is the “Site Integrity Policy, Policy Escalation Support,” known as “SIP-PES.”

This secret group included Head of Legal, Policy, and Trust (Vijaya Gadde), the Global Head of Trust & Safety (Yoel Roth), subsequent CEOs Jack Dorsey and Parag Agrawal, and others. This is where the biggest, most politically sensitive decisions got made. “Think high follower account, controversial,” another Twitter employee told us. For these “there would be no ticket or anything.”

Then she dropped this bombshell about the Libs of TikTok account:

She followed up by going into further detail on the action against Libs of Tiktok:

The account—which Chaya Raichik began in November 2020 and now boasts over 1.4 million followers—was subjected to six suspensions in 2022 alone, Raichik says. Each time, Raichik was blocked from posting for as long as a week. Twitter repeatedly informed Raichik that she had been suspended for violating Twitter’s policy against “hateful conduct.”

She continues:

Weiss then followed up with more context by tweeting this:

The committee justified her suspensions internally by claiming her posts encouraged online harassment of “hospitals and medical providers” by insinuating “that gender-affirming healthcare is equivalent to child abuse or grooming.”

Compare this to what happened when Raichik herself was doxxed on November 21, 2022. A photo of her home with her address was posted in a tweet that has garnered more than 10,000 likes.

She added the following in a few text-only tweets:

Roth wrote: “The hypothesis underlying much of what we’ve implemented is that if exposure to, e.g., misinformation directly causes harm, we should use remediations that reduce exposure, and limiting the spread/virality of content is a good way to do that.”

He added: “We got Jack on board with implementing this for civic integrity in the near term, but we’re going to need to make a more robust case to get this into our repertoire of policy remediations – especially for other policy domains.”

Bari Weiss then concludes Part 2 of the Twitter files with this:
