The Twitter Files, Part Deux!! 🍿🍿 https://t.co/bH9UiTSEK2

* Journalists Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss have been handed a trove of documents from Twitter, detailing why they censored the story of Hunter Biden's laptop
* Taibbi released the first tranche of the documents on Friday, and Weiss on Thursday followed up with a second series * Weiss revealed that conservatives and lockdown skeptics were deliberately down-ranked by Twitter, to stop their accounts gaining prominence
* Among those blacklisted were Fox News regular Dan Bongino and youth activist Charlie Kirk, plus Stanford CDC critic Dr Jay Bhattacharya
* Jack Dorsey and his head of legal, Vijaya Gadde, both denied that Twitter ever deliberately downgraded or 'shadow banned' any accounts
* The documents from Taibbi showed panic among senior Twitter staff in October 2020 when The New Post reported on the contents of Hunter's computer
Twitter kept a 'secret blacklist' of topics and accounts to prevent them from trending, according to data obtained by journalist Bari Weiss - with up to 200 'cases' being dealt with a day by a special division within the company.
Conservative commentators such as Dan Bongino and Charlie Kirk were deliberately put on a 'search blacklist' - in the case of Bongino - or tabbed 'do not amplify', in the case of Kirk.
Those who questioned the prevailing COVID orthodoxy of lockdowns and mask mandates, such as Stanford's Dr Jay Bhattacharya, who argued that lockdowns harmed children, were also placed on a 'search blacklist'.
