As another comment points out the screenshot clearly shows two red exclamation marks indicating it wasn’t delivered.

You can take issue with the censoring (and I do) but it’s not silently censoring which is much worse.




What screenshot are you looking at? Because there are no red exclamations in the image on the linked tweet


Next tweet in the thread shows them. First pic is cropped (not sure why)


the tweet appears to be intentionally deceptive. They cropped the first picture just to remove the exclamation mark.


Is this about the exclamation mark though ? Or about the censorship ?


“Silently censoring” is the key here. The censoring has been well-known for years.

Most of the conversation I’ve seen in the comments has been about shadow banning which just isn’t related to what’s actually happening here.
