Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | The Twitter Files: How Twitter Rigged the Covid Debate1. THREAD: THE TWITTER FILES: HOW TWITTER RIGGED THE COVID DEBATE -- By censoring info that was true but inconvenient to U.S. govt. policy
11. A December 2022 summary of meetings with the White House by Lauren Culbertson, Twitter's Head of U.S. Public Policy, adds new evidence of the White House's pressure campaign, and cements that it repeatedly attempted to directly influence the platform. 12. Culbertson wrote that the Biden team was "very angry" that Twitter had not been more aggressive in deplatforming multiple accounts. They wanted Twitter to do more. 13. Twitter executives did not fully capitulate to the Biden team's wishes. An extensive review of internal communications at the company revealed employees often debating moderation cases in great detail, and with more care than was shown by the government toward free speech. 14. But Twitter did suppress views--many from doctors and scientific experts--that conflicted with the official positions of the White House. As a result, legitimate findings and questions that would have expanded the public debate went missing.There's an expanded report about this at The Free Press. This expanded bit on AI demonstrates that AI is just built up from human stupidity. When they claim "The Algorithm" made something happen, they're trying to evade responsibility -- they program "The Algorithm," and they program their AI to search for what they consider disinformation. I'll quote the expanded article instead of the Twitter files for this section: But Twitter did suppress views--and not just those of journalists like Berenson. Many medical and public health professionals who expressed perspectives or even cited findings from accredited academic journals that conflicted with official positions were also targeted. As a result, legitimate findings and questions about our Covid policies and their consequences went missing. There were three serious problems with Twitter's process. First: Much of the content moderation on Covid, to say nothing of other contentious subjects, was conducted by bots trained on machine learning and AI. I spent hours discussing the systems with an engineer and with an executive who had been at the company for more than a year before Musk's takeover. They explained the process in basic terms: Initially, the bots were fed information to train them on what to look for--but their searches would become more refined over time both as they scanned the platform and as they were manually updated with additional chosen inputs. At least that was the premise. Though impressive in their engineering, the bots would prove too crude for such nuanced work. When you drag a digital trawler across a social media platform, you're not just catching cheap fish, you're going to snag dolphins along the way. Second: Contractors operating in places like the Philippines were also moderating content. They were given decision trees to aid in their process, but tasking non-experts to adjudicate tweets on complex topics like myocarditis and mask efficacy data was destined for a significant error rate. The notion that remote workers, sitting in distant cube farms, were going to police medical information to this granular degree is absurd on its face. Embedded below is an example template--deactivated after Musk's arrival--of the decision tree tool that contractors used. The contractor would run through a series of questions, each with a drop down menu, ultimately guiding them to a predetermined conclusion. Back to the Twitter files.
26. Internal records showed that a bot had flagged the tweet, and that it received many "tattles" (what the system amusingly called reports from users). That triggered a manual review by a human who-- despite the tweet showing actual CDC data--nevertheless labeled it "Misleading" 27. Tellingly, the tweet by @KelleyKga that was labeled "Misleading" was a reply to a tweet that contained actual misinformation. Covid has never been the leading cause of death from disease in children. Yet that tweet remains on the platform, and without a "misleading" label.
30. A review of Twitter log files revealed that an internal audit, conducted after Bostom's attorney contacted Twitter, found that only 1 of Bostom's 5 violations were valid. 31. The one Bostom tweet found to still be in violation cited data that was legitimate but inconvenient to the public health establishment's narrative about the risks of flu versus Covid in children. 32. That this tweet was not only flagged by a bot, but its violation manually affirmed by a staff member is telling of both the algorithmic and human bias at play. Bostom's account was suspended for months and was finally restored on Christmas Day. This is amazing: Trump saying "Don't be afraid" was claimed to be a "covid misinformation" violation by... disgraced FBI Russiagate conspirator and then-Twitter head counsel James Baker.
35. Yoel Roth, Twitter's former head of Trust & Safety, had to explain that optimism wasn't misinformation. 36. Remember @KelleyKga with the CDC data tweet? Twitter's response to her is clarifying: "we will prioritize review and labeling of content that could lead to increased exposure or transmission." 37. Twitter made a decision, via the political leanings of senior staff, and govt pressure, that the public health authorities' approach to the pandemic -- prioritizing mitigation over other concerns -- was "The Science" . . . 38. Information that challenged that view, such as showing harms of vaccines, or that could be perceived as downplaying the risks of Covid, especially to children, was subject to moderation, and even suppression. No matter whether such views were correct or adopted abroad. 39. What might this pandemic and its aftermath have looked like if there had been a more open debate on Twitter and other social media platforms--not to mention the mainstream press--about the origins of Covid, about lockdowns, about the true risks of Covid in kids, and much more? 40. Thanks to @ShellenbergerMD, @lwoodhouse, @lhfang and the team @thefp for their help reporting this story. Twitter didn't just "rig" the Covid "debate," as this Twitter Files claim. As Jay Bhattacharya explains below, they ended 90% of all public debate and hid what little debate had occurred so that the public was never even aware that top scientists, with far more credibility and training that Francis Collins and Anthony Fauci, disputed their claims. And by stopping/hiding that debate, Twitter (and all other social media monopolies) permitted true misinformation-- Fauci and Collins misinformation -- to affect the public and as a result, people died.

Berenson is a NYC brooklynite media type. With all those biases.But, he is ambitious. Very ambitious. And he, like all of them, know how phony the whole thing is. He's decided to make a name for himself and a lot of money by exploding their pinatas. So far, pot and vivid injections. He is also careful and honest insofar as what he writes is true and accurate if not the whole story sometimes. Though mostly it is. He's a throwback to when Salon and Slate were great sites.

This post presents a question I hadn't thought of before.
Are bots being used NOT for reducing the work to monitor tweets but instead to give these people deniability for their censorship? It wasn't US that banned you it was our ALGORITHM. It just happened automatically. Taking this to another level: King Leftist (or whoever TF runs the uni-party) says it wasn't US censoring you, it was Twitter. I guess Twitter and their algorithms just don't like you. Posted by: Dr. Claw at December 26, 2022 12:25 PM (roH4R) 92

-- By suppressing ordinary users, including some sharing the CDC's *own data*
Crowder got banned from YT (in mid-2021?) for his co-host Gerald quoting the CDC website on Kung Flu transmissions in children. The CDC changed the website immediately afterwards, but I wonder if the CDC did that after Crowder got banned or as proof shown to YT to get him banned. Either way, the whole thing was shady and unethical. Posted by: pookysgirl remembers more than the gov't wants her to at December 26, 2022 12:25 PM (XKZwp) 96

Cross-country skiing “is the whitest and least diverse sport I have ever been part of,” says POC Nordic co-founder Nazanin Ghoddousi, who started skiing four years ago. “That was getting really discouraging for me. With 2020, people had time to access the outdoors like never before, but it’s also feeling comfortable and safe being a woman, then being a queer person, then being a person of color.” --- Jäger, an alternative high school teacher who is part of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, also says she strives to bring more Indigenous people to the mountains. “I had to take out some of that colonizer mindset and remember who this area is for: We are on stolen Indigenous land. Why aren’t there more people of color in these places?

There was a hilarious article in the New York Times a few days ago about a Twitter employee who publicly mocked Musk on Twitter and was surprised to find herself fired.
I liked this part: There was a time in the not too distant past when workers at high-profile media companies could go public on Twitter with complaints about what they considered to be the sexist, racist or other otherwise unfair practices of their employers and still keep their jobs. Yeah, workers at social media companies could criticize their companies - but only from the Left. Be a Twitter employee, and say that Twitter has too many unqualified diversity hires, and you would have been bounced very quickly. This happened to an Apple employee who said in a book: women in the Bay Area are "soft and weak, cosseted and naive despite their claims of worldliness, and generally full of shit." Only criticism from the Left is allowed. https://tinyurl.com/2rvbdckz Posted by: The ARC of History! at December 26, 2022 12:44 PM (KCOCK) 162

You might try pointing out to them that the government demanding private companies censor information the government doesn't approve of is not just the fascist behavior they are always whining about but blatantly illegal.

The Twitter files drama is like sorting through a box of love letters to your ex-wife from the dozens of men that banged her while you were still married.
The divorce is already finalized, she already has custody of the kids, she took your 401k in the settlement, 90% of your friends know that you're a cuck, and she's remarried to a new dude that bought her plastic tits. But you're reading the letters saying "Aha! I knew those used condoms in the trash can weren't mine! I never use condoms and we didn't even have sex the last two years! Hey everyone come look, I have proof that my wife was cucking me out!"

Oddbob, depends on "passable". I kind of doubt you'll get anything epic, but it shouldn't be bad. What kind of chile powder (do you know the varieties)? And just semi-sweet chocolate, or something else in those? There's a lot of the flavors and layering thereof that I think comes from the preparation you won't be doing (toasting & soaking whole chiles, toasting nuts and spices). But go for it, should be quite flavorful.

And by stopping/hiding that debate, Twitter (and all other social media monopolies) permitted true misinformation-- Fauci and Collins misinformation -- to affect the public and as a result, people died.
- Given the documented damage the jabs have caused and greater potential, I'd say people are still dying, and will continue to die, in great numbers, for quite some time to come. Posted by: Methos at December 26, 2022 01:27 PM (kOpft) 313

They take Him to the edge of a cliff, ready to push Him off, for blasphemy, but Jesus says "It is not time yet," and walks away.

Amazing part was the Chinese doctor Li who showed that the virus taking hold seems to be dependent on the absence of the (bifada?) bacteria in the gut. Eeryone that caught the virus didn't have that bacteria, and (Hydrchloritin?) - horse medicine aids in having that bacteria. The vaccine does the opposite. So after the vaccine, its almost guaranteed that you will get covid.

It's nice that we are all paying close attention to the Twitter Files, but, let's be real, we already knew something in Denmark was rotten. We knew from the gitgo the Feds were lying their heads off about anything and everything. Sadly, blog posts like this are preaching to the choir. The LIVs aren't picking up the faintest hint of what's going on, meaning that fully 50% of the country still believes every word the Wash Post, the NYT, CNN, MSNbc, etc. is gospel truth. And I don't see us making any headway with that 50%. We've pretty much all read that big, fat lie the FBI put out last week. We know it's a lie, but that other 50% is nodding their heads, believing it to be God's own truth because they know the FBI would never, ever lie to America.

illiniwek, you make good points - I'm sure they were "minimized" or shadow-banned, etc, all those Twitter tricks - in fact I know they were, in some cases.
And yes, it took a little bit of effort and brain push-ups to find and absorb the info or analysis, in some cases. Though not all - the fantastic use of novel datasets like "social mobility", based on mobile phone use/tracking, by some observers to debunk, in real time, the efficacy of all "mitigation" efforts (lockdowns) - was elegantly obvious, simple, and unanswerable. But what you point out is just the yuuuge, over-arching issue - there is no press, there are few if any competent/legit/honest institutions any longer, there is nowhere for a busy regular person who is busy doing their own vital part of the social and economic process to go for reliable info or analysis. It's always been imperfect, to bad, but I think the situation now if fundamentally different, and worse. And all, of course, during an era when info is available like never before.

Water problems (way off topic). Thursday, the water heaters froze up in the building (overhead demand heaters, usually great). Just before shoving off for a motel after two days of the whore's bath in the sink with water heated on the stove, the sun shined on the steel roof, thawing the system. A nice 20 minute hot shower. I come home today from a little shopping, and no water due to a busted main on the property. The mismanagement company said "we don't know when we can get this fixed". Ain't that encouraging?
