A leaked internal message appears to show Elon Musk ordered Twitter staff to suspend a left-wing activist's account​

Loder's account was one of several prominent left-wing accounts suspended by Twitter in November 2022.

Loder told Insider's Sawdah Bhaimiya they suspected the suspension resulted from an "organized mass-reporting campaign," whereby a right-wing group published a Substack blog with instructions on how to falsely report breaches of Twitter's rules by particular accounts — with Loder's profile listed near the top.





aww poor baby .... leftists don't like when the same actions they use to get conservatives suspended from social media are used against them

Elon Musk's Twitter ordered by officials to properly label bedrooms in San Francisco HQ as sleeping areas — or convert them back to offices within 15 days​

Twitter was told to correctly label converted bedrooms as sleeping areas in its San Francisco office straight away, according to a correction notice reviewed by Insider.

San Francisco's Department of Building Inspection on Monday issued a correction notice to Twitter's construction contractor regarding the use of conference rooms as bedrooms in the company's headquarters on 1355 Market Street in San Francisco.

The building officials said that during an investigation, "it was observed that some of the conference rooms were being used as employee sleeping or rest areas," according to the notice. "Beds were present in these rooms."

"Please obtain a revision to properly label these rooms for the use as intended today or restore rooms to original use within 15 days," the notice said.

Lauren Boebert Traps Yoel Roth, Gets Him to Lie Under Oath​

At one point during the hearing, Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert appeared to catch former Twitter executive Yoel Roth in a lie.

The moment came as Boebert was discussing how her Twitter account had previously been suspended.

“Did you shadow-ban my account? Yes or no?” Boebert unleashed.

Roth denied banning her account, but as it turns out, he was lying.

“The answer is Mr. Roth, yes you did!” Boebert shot back, catching Roth in a lie.

“I found out last night from Twitter staff that you supressed my account for this tweet: “Hillary must be pissed it took until 2020 to successfully rig an election.'”

Boebert exclaimed, “It’s a freakin’ joke about Hillary Clinton being angry she couldn’t rig her own election!”

She continued to slam Yoel Roth: “You silenced me from communicating with the American people over a fricken’ joke. Who the hell do you think you are?”

Ex-Twitter executives now say they forget key details of censoring Post’s Hunter Biden laptop scoop​

“Simple question, did you talk to the FBI about the Hunter Biden story?” Jordan asked Baker point-blank at one point.

“To the best of my recollection, I did not talk to the FBI about the Hunter Biden story before that day,” replied Baker, referencing Oct. 14, 2020, when The Post published the first of its world-exclusive reports.

“Did you talk to them after?” Jordan pressed, to which Baker said, “I do not recall.”

Moments later, as Jordan pressed further, Baker seemed to contradict himself: “Sitting here today, I don’t recall speaking with the FBI at all about the Hunter Biden matter — the laptop.”

“Then why did you answer the way you did?” Jordan asked rhetorically.

Twitter censorship is the modern-day red scare​

The files show dozens of FBI and government employees actively seeking the censorship of citizens and others for their viewpoints. In my testimony, I warned that this was reminiscent of the McCarthy period where the FBI played a role in the establishment of blacklists for socialist, communists, and others. I encouraged Congress not to repeat its failures from the 1950s by turning a blind eye to such abuse.

This view was amplified by former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who became persona non grata for her anti-war sentiments in Congress. She was later labeled a “Russian asset” by Hillary Clinton, who has refused to support that scurrilous claim of a former member.

For years, the Democrats pushed a Russian collusion theory that collapsed. It was later disclosed that the Clinton campaign hid and then lied about funding the infamous Steele Dossier. Nevertheless, people like Carter Page were falsely accused of being Russian agents and critics labeled as Russian apologists. Ironically, the FBI was warned that the dossier appeared to be the result of Russian disinformation and relied on a presumed Russian agent.

If anything, my warning of McCarthy-like attacks and measures seemed to be taken more as a suggestion than an admonition by some. Yet soon after the end of the hearing, MSNBC contributor and former Sen. Claire McCaskill appeared on MSNBC to denounce the member witnesses (Sen. Chuck Grassley, Sen. Ron Johnson, and former Rep. Gabbard) as “Putin apologists” and Putin lovers.

She exclaimed, “I mean, look at this, I mean, all three of those politicians are Putin apologists. I mean, Tulsi Gabbard loves Putin.” (For the record, she also attacked me as not being “a real lawyer.”)

What was most striking is the level of attacks on those seeking an investigation into possible FBI abuses. The Democratic Party was once the greatest defender of free speech, the greatest critic of corporate power, and the greatest skeptic of the FBI. It is now opposing the investigation into the FBI’s involvement in a massive corporate-run censorship system.

Daily Wire host Jake Crain’s Twitter thread detailing some disturbing allegations made about Lia Thomas’ romantic and sexual life appears to have been censored by Twitter.

In conjunction with an exclusive interview with former University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines on “Crain & Company” Wednesday, Crain posted a 14-tweet-long thread revealing social media posts in which Thomas alludes to strange sexual fetishes and makes graphic references to transgender surgeries. Several hours after the tweets were posted, all except two were listed as unavailable on Twitter, leaving Crain, Gaines, and the public searching for answers.

“It looks like the vast majority of the tweets in this thread have been removed, is that a glitch or was it intentional @elonmusk?” Crain tweeted Wednesday evening.

“Nothing posted was even opinionated. It was simply just bringing to light pictures already posted on a public page,” Gaines replied. “More proof of media actively denying truth to fit their narrative.”

Elon Musk says Twitter will take legal action against a 'disgruntled employee' who the CEO says leaked false information to suggest his tweets were boosted​

Musk replied: "The 'source' of the bogus Platformer article is a disgruntled employee who had been on paid time off for months, had already accepted a job at Google and felt the need to poison the well on the way out. Twitter will be taking legal action against him."

He did not name the employee against whom he said Twitter was taking legal action.

Casey Newton, a journalist at Platformer, told Insider: "Elon's tweet is completely false. We stand by our reporting."

Musk sent Twitter staff an email in December that threatened to sue employees who leaked confidential information to the media and told them they had to sign a pledge saying they understood, Platformer's Zoë Schiffer tweeted. A person familiar with the matter confirmed to Insider that Musk had sent the email.

The CEO tweeted Friday that multiple major media sources had incorrectly reported his tweets had been boosted above normal levels. He said a review of his tweets over the past six months showed the reports were false.
