The Jimmy Dore Show We’re now on to Round 2 of the so-called “Twitter Files” info dump and in this episode former New York Times opinion writer Bari Weiss revealed how a secret group at the social media platform made decisions about shadow banning and otherwise “controlling visibility” of certain unfavored – typically right-wing – accounts. The evidence suggests the company outright lied to users and the public when claiming such censorship wasn’t taking place.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the outright duplicity coming from Twitter executives.

Correction: Not ex-president. Trump WAS president when they blocked his account!
Threat to Democracy = A threat to our rule.
The irony of this guy speaking at the “Informed” convention is incredible. We’re sprinting into an Orwellian nightmare.
It looks like Mobsters took over America one hundred years ago. I'm sure Twitters been working with Google and Government for at least ten years? Who's slow behind the eight-ball? By the time anyone finds the next "bomb shell" smoking gun" our water will be boiling. At least we can talk about corruption.⌛⚰️🪦
Freedom of speech IS dangerous!! That's why it is protected by the Constitution.
If this guy was scared of publicity why is he continuing to seek publicity?
On Facebook, I notice most of my political posts or shares receive zero reaction, no likes or comments. Most of my friends share my political views, so this is very strange.
YOUTUBE IS THE SAME!!
The real question is not whether we know or not what happened in the past. The question is will this happen again, and how will we know if it does going forward. I'm not hearing anything from twitter in that regard.
I wonder if this makes Bari Weiss a toadie of Elon Musk and free speech extremists?
While authoritarians use liberals for cover today, they might use conservatives tomorrow.
Interesting how he chose the Nazi haircut from 1930s Germany. I see you have to look the part to act the part.
Lest anyone forget. There is a complete backup of Twitter at the NSA. EVERYTHING digital is recorded.
This kurt guy doesnt bring anything of substance to the conversation he just spews nonsense get rid of him
you have freedom of choice to use twitter, always wondered why people even need this app…waste of time
Be ready for the upcoming fabricated food crisis. All by design as another way to control the population.
FCC FASCISM MUST END
@SUNSHINETHEGREY @CHAOSPROVIDEZ SMELL THAT BAN?
ENERGY VAMPIRES WITH BAD JOKES FOR NAMES
I guarantee you that a Twitter lawyer cam up with th term "Visibility Filtering"
We need 1st Amendment protections for any social media platform once it grows to a certain size. You can’t both allow Twitter to become “the public square” while allowing Twitter to censor what takes place there.
Jimmy, the left is not what the left used to be. It’s meaning is different now. The ideas of liberalism from the past are now held by the MAGA wing of the Republican Party. The right used to be the religious fundamentalists. That group has been largely sidelined or watered down. If you have to use left or right to put people in a category, then you also need to have a center. The center includes MAGA, along with people like Jimmy Dore, Tulsi Gabbard, Glenn Greewald, and Joe Rogan, even though these centrists don’t agree on everything, they believe in free speech, freedom to protest your government, equal rights for all, and other basic human rights.
Pretty scary to hear those words. Good thing Yolo doesn’t have to storm Omaha Beach. We’d all be speaking German.
The media claiming its a 'nothing burger' or that its 'old information' is nearly as shameful as the squashing of the laptop story.
IF shitlibs had been silenced in this way there'd be endless hysteria about Twitter and organising of censorship.
Now we see that blatant lies were told under oath AND WORSE that the FBI, DoJ, NSA were actively working AGAINST the president of America.
How can anybody look at this with the weaponised State apparatus and pretend there's no problem?
There is an account that I follow on twitter that I often have to search for because even though they post regularly and I interact with them regularly, the algorithm rarely places them in my feed. They have a pinned tweet that I like every single time I go to their feed because it’s constantly removed. I’ve had to have liked that tweet a hundred times by now. When I then go to my own profile and tap “replies and likes”, that post never shows up. That was all the evidence I needed to know shadowbanning was real. It’s still the case, so Elon has work to do yet.
Sorry Jimmy but you can't scream for government controlled health care and be the "anti-establishmrnt left." That is literally giving the establishment TOTAL control. Did you sleep through the lock downs, mandates and passports?
Think man. I'm begging you.
@11:57 — "vagina daddy" 🤣😂😂😅
All the MSM does this and they don't let you have true pseudo- anonymous commenting. Same for the BlackRock and Vanguard financed big spy on the citizenry tech. They always require hard identity information somewhere in their registration processes. No anonymity, no freedom.
I will never understand how you manage to tolerate the young turks well obviously that didn’t last
One time Reddit was a bastion of free speech. Then it became a home for shit libs, a twitter copy.
