BREAKING: Twitter Files part two released, exposing ‘secret blacklists’

Agrawal came to be CEO after Dorsey, and said outright that he didn't believe the platform was beholden to upholding Americans' first amendment rights.

"Imagine how many views conservatives would have if we weren’t on blacklist," Posobiec wrote.

"It was in this group," Weiss wrote, that "the biggest, most politically sensitive decisions got made. 'Think high follower account, controversial,' another Twitter employee told us. For these 'there would be no ticket or anything.'"

Libs of TikTok, which exposes leftists in their own words, was subject to the "Trends Blasklist." Weiss reported that no action could be taken on that user "without consulting with SIP-PIES."

Weiss rightfully notes that the account has been banned by Twitter "six suspensions in 2022 alone." The account, founded by Chaya Raichik. has been banned eight times in total. Each suspension caused her to lose account access for up to a week.

"The account—which Chaya Raichik began in November 2020 and now boasts over 1.4 million followers—was subjected to six suspensions in 2022 alone, Raichik says. Each time, Raichik was blocked from posting for as long as a week."

Dave Rubin asked what everyone was thinking, which was if a list would be released of all targeted accounts.

"Twitter repeatedly informed Raichik that she had been suspended for violating Twitter’s policy against 'hateful conduct.'" Weiss wrote. "Hateful conduct" was the catch-all for things like "misgendering," or calling biological males men when they would prefer to be seen as women.

Meanwhile, Libs of TikTok was reposting content that already existed elsewhere, sharing it with an audience that would not have seen it otherwise. This exposure was deemed "hateful."

This despite the Twitter blacklist team knowing full well that Libs of TikTok was not actually in violation of the "hateful conduct" policy.

"But in an internal SIP-PES memo from October 2022, after her seventh suspension, the committee acknowledged that 'LTT has not directly engaged in behavior violative of the Hateful Conduct policy.'"

Weiss posted a "Site Policy Recommendation" for the account, saying that there was recommendation for placing the Libs of TikTok account "in a 7-day timeout at the account level [meaning, not for a specific Tweet] based on the account's continued patter of indirectly violating Twitter's Hateful Condult Policy by tweeting content that either leads to or intends to incite harassment against individuals and institutions that support LGBTQ communities. At this time, Site Policy has not found explicily violative Tweets, which would result in a permanent suspension of the account."

"The committee justified her suspensions internally by claiming her posts encouraged online harassment of 'hospitals and medical providers' by insinuating 'that gender-affirming healthcare is equivalent to child abuse or grooming,'" Weiss wrote.

The term "groomer" rose on Twitter after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' press secretary Christina Pushaw pushed back agaisnt those who falsely and misleadingly termed his Parental Rights in Education Bill the "Don't Say Gay Bill." She began to call it the "Anti-Groomer Bill." Others took up the term and used it to apply to Drag Queens reading stories about gender identity to school children as well as doctors who make big business from child sex changes.

"Compare this to what happened when Raichik herself was doxxed on November 21, 2022. A photo of her home with her address was posted in a tweet that has garnered more than 10,000 likes," Weiss wrote.

Libs of TikTok was first doxed by Washington Post journalist Taylor Lorenz.

"When Raichik told Twitter that her address had been disseminated she says Twitter Support responded with this message: 'We reviewed the reported content, and didn't find it to be in violation of the Twitter rules.' No action was taken. The doxxing tweet is still up," Weiss wrote.

"In internal Slack messages, Twitter employees spoke of using technicalities to restrict the visibility of tweets and subjects. Here’s Yoel Roth, Twitter’s then Global Head of Trust & Safety, in a direct message to a colleague in early 2021:

"A lot of times, SI has used technicality spam enforcements as a way to solve a problem created by Safety under-enforcing their policies. Which, again, isn't a problem per se - but it keeps us from addressing the root cause of the issue, which is that our Safety policies need some attention," Roth wrote in Slack, as shared by Weiss.

"Six days later, in a direct message with an employee on the Health, Misinformation, Privacy, and Identity research team, Roth requested more research to support expanding 'non-removal policy interventions like disabling engagements and deamplification/visibility filtering.'"

"Roth wrote: 'The hypothesis underlying much of what we’ve implemented is that if exposure to, e.g., misinformation directly causes harm, we should use remediations that reduce exposure, and limiting the spread/virality of content is a good way to do that.'"

"He added: 'We got Jack on board with implementing this for civic integrity in the near term, but we’re going to need to make a more robust case to get this into our repertoire of policy remediations – especially for other policy domains.'"

Weiss then pivoted in tweet 27 to pitching a new media site which would be a place to find out more about this unfolding story.

The first round of files was dropped by Matt Taibbi on Friday night, and was followed up by a Q&A on Twitter Spaces with Elon Musk. That first round of files discussed the suppression and censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story as reported by the New York Post.

After that drop, Musk promised there would be transparency. However, that goal was disrupted by Twitter attorney Jim Baker, who was intentionally censoring the Twitter files before Taibbi could release them. This was revealed over the weekend.

This is a breaking story and will be updated.
