How Did People Have Conversations Back Before Tech Oligarchs Were There To Police Them? | by Caitlin Johnstone | Oct, 2020 | Medium

Twitter has announced the rollout of even more censorship policies in the lead-up to the November US presidential election.

Starting next week, when people attempt to Retweet a Tweet with a misleading information label, they will see a prompt directing them to credible information about the topic before they can amplify it, Twitter informs us, with credible information of course meaning information from the same mass media outlets who ve lied to us about every American war throughout their entire existence.

We re taking more steps to encourage thoughtful amplification by preventing Tweets that have been followed by and liked by accounts you don t follow from showing up in your timeline, adds Twitter, as though the social media echo chamber that is turning us all into idiots wasn t bad enough.
