So if the RNC had a hotline to Twitter that they used to censor stuff so their candidates could win more elections, you'd respond in the same manner? They're a private organization.


I wouldn't claim it was govt interference like you're doing to support a bogus argument.


If people were posting revenge porn of Tiffany Trump on Twitter and RNC staffers contacted Twitter to notify them of the offending tweets, I think that would be commendable.


In fact, there were nudes of Melania Trump shared on social media during the 2016 election. These weren't personal but were instead professional photographs. Everywhere I ever saw them they were taken down very very quickly.


It's in TFA:

"10.Both parties had access to these tools. For instance, in 2020, requests from both the Trump White House and the Biden campaign were received and honored. However:"


Taibbi's own claims are that both parties and both campaigns had this "hotline" to Twitter.
