As hearings took place before Congress on Big Tech’s use of Section 230 to censor content, the most interesting revelation came from Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey who seemed to admit that the platform relies on outrage mobs to flag up posts that are then deemed to be ‘misinformation’.
Dorsey made the admission as Senator Rick Scott was questioning him, noting “We don’t have a general policy around misleading information and misinformation… We rely upon people calling that speech out.”

Twitter users provided a helpful translation:
Dorsey says Twitter doesn’t have a general policy on misinformation. “we rely on people calling it out.” Even Twitter is outsourcing policy making to progressive Twitter.

While Dorsey admits to the censorship mobs at Twitter, the fact that he recently went on the record with his disapproval infers that he doesn’t have full control over the actions of the platform:

Elsewhere during the hearing, Senator Ted Cruz declared that Twitter, Facebook and Google pose the “single greatest threat to free speech in America and the greatest threat we have to free and fair elections.”

Cruz asked Dorsey if he believes Twitter has the ability to influence election outcomes, to which Dorsey replied “no”… an answer Cruz described as “absurd.”
“If you don’t think you have the power to influence elections, why do you block anything?” Cruz asked.

Dorsey admitted that “more accountability is needed.”
Cruz then asked Dorsey “Who the hell elected you and put you in charge of what the media are allowed to report and what the American people are allowed to hear?”
“Mr. Dorsey, who the hell elected you?” Ted Cruz says.
“We realize we need to earn trust more. We realize more accountability is needed," Jack Dorsey responds.

Elsewhere, Dorsey admitted that Twitter has no evidence that the New York Post reports on Hunter Biden were ‘Russian disinformation’, and that they censored them anyway:

Dorsey also admitted that under Twitter’s twisted ‘misinformation’ rules, The US President’s tweets can be censored, where as Iran’s ayatollah cannot be prevented from questioning the Holocaust:

After the hearings were over, Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) slammed Dorsey, calling him a “partisan and a hypocrite,” as well as laying into Democrats, noting that “Not a single Democrat Senator defended free speech or freedom of the press today.”
“This should terrify Americans,” Crenshaw added:
Biggest take away from the big tech hearings:
1) Jack Dorsey is a partisan and a hypocrite.
2) There are no liberals left in the Democrat Party. Not a single Democrat Senator defended free speech or freedom of the press today.
This should terrify Americans.

It appeared that President Trump was also watching the hearings:

It’s interesting how there’s a almost total Venn diagram overlap between ‘disinformation’ and information that embarrasses the regime.
Funny that, isn’t it?

French Open Warns Russian Players Not to Make Political Statements of Support For Putin
Rules of ideological purity test set by organizers.

Published
2 weeks agoon
13 May, 2022
The French Open tennis tournament has warned Russian players not to make political statements in support of President Vladimir Putin if they wish to take part in the grand slam.
Unlike Wimbledon, where they will be banned altogether, Russian and Belarusian players will be allowed to compete at Roland-Garros, but only under strictly neutral status.
However, Russian stars have been cautioned that they will face sanctions if they express anything other than pro-Ukraine opinions in the media in the run up to the event.
Roland-Garros Tournament Director Amelie Mauresmo made the tournament organizer’s position clear in a statement given to the press.
“We keep the line of what all the European governments – and other governments – decided in March, i.e. national teams of Russia and Belarus banned, but not the athletes as individuals, as long as they play under strict neutrality,” said Mauresmo.
“We will be very meticulous on that,” Mauresmo vowed. “[But] if any of them should have pro-Putin statements in the media, there will be sanctions for sure,” he added.
This obviously sets a dangerous precedent in terms of the free speech of prominent public figures.
Today, they’re mandated to support the NATO-aligned narrative about the Ukraine to be able to properly pursue their careers.
Next year, it could be something completely different, and indeed it was when Novak Djokavic was punished by Australian authorities for refusing to take a COVID-19 vaccine.
Who knows – sports athletes, actors, musicians could all in future be forced to sign up to some kind of ideological purity test that codifies their inability to challenge regime narratives lest they be hit with instant cancellation and career suicide.
As we highlighted last month, Ukrainian tennis star Elina Svitolina demanded that Russian and Belarusian players be subjected to ideological purity tests before they are allowed to compete in international tournaments.
Before Wimbledon slapped a total ban on all Russian players, then world number one Daniil Medvedev was told he would have to publicly denounce Vladimir Putin to be able to compete.

Elon Musk: Twitter Deal “Temporarily on Hold”
Questions over true percentage of user accounts that are spam bots.

Published

13 May, 2022
Billionaire Elon Musk announced that his deal to buy Twitter is “temporarily on hold” over questions about whether fake and spam accounts really do represent less than 5 per cent of users.
“Twitter deal temporarily on hold pending details supporting calculation that spam/fake accounts do indeed represent less than 5% of users,” Musk tweeted.
Despite Musk last week securing $7 billion from new investors for his $44billion takeover, Twitter shares fell 20 per cent in premarket trading in response to the news.
The Tesla founder has made it one of his priorities to eliminate “spam bots” form the platform, which Twitter claims represent fewer than 5% of its monetisable daily active users.

Media reports circulated earlier in the week suggesting Musk could still pull out of the deal and pay a $1 billion dollar compensation fee, but that may be waived if Twitter hasn’t been honest about the scale of its bot problem.
Blue checkmarks on Twitter are likely to welcome the news that the deal is on hold given that they have been panicking for the last several weeks about being unable to further entrench their censorship agenda if Musk takes over the platform.
Earlier this week, Musk asserted that the decision to permanently suspend President Donald Trump was “foolish” and that Trump would be allowed to re-instate his account after Musk’s takeover.
The billionaire added that under his stewardship, permanent bans would become a thing of the past, aside from when they’re applied to fake accounts.
