Hello Twitter? 1984 called, it would like its storyline back.
They’ve GOT to be kidding with this. Only complete morons would believe this latest addition to the reporting function via Twitter Terms of Service (TOS) won’t be overly abused to shut down one side of the political hemisphere. We’ve seen time and time again there is a huge bias already on the social media giant, and now they’re adding the ability to report folks because it’s ‘misleading about a political election?’ Who decides what is misleading? Seriously!?
Look at this crap:

This sure as heck seems like they’re trying to influence what people are able to tweet when it comes to elections.

This editor tries really hard not to buy into the tinfoil side of social media but considering this is an election year and Twitter played a HUGE part in Trump getting elected in 2016 … it just seems way too convenient and shady AF.
It doesn't show up for me up here in Canada.

Interesting.
Canada has elections, why wouldn’t they see it too?

Of course, the only tweets that will be removed will be Conservative ones.
At this point the media are out in the open as propaganda merchants, nothing more, nothing less.

We really hope this isn’t the case and that Conservatives aren’t targeted BUT we’re not holding our breath.
