    • Matt Taibbi Confronts MSNBC Over Russiagate & Hunter Biden Laptop ON AIR:


    MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan invited Matt Taibbi on to his show to grill the Twitter Files journalist about inaccuracies in his reporting, but Taibbi turned the tables on Hasan, pointing out that MSNBC had served as a clearinghouse for six years of misinformation about Trump and Russia, not to mention dutifully passing on FBI lies about the Hunter Biden laptop Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether Taibbi should have participated in this effort in bad faith masquerading as a reasonable discussion.
    • “Mehdi Hasan Is A Sewer Rat” – Norm Finkelstein!:

    The recent dust-up between MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan and Twitter Files journalist Matt Taibbi has mushroomed to the point where elected officials are now calling for Taibbi’s arrest for allegedly lying under oath during his recent Congressional testimony. Author and academic Norman Finkelstein labels Hasan a “sewer rat” for misrepresenting the extent of Taibbi’s ostensible “errors” in the Twitter Files and challenges him to correct the record

    Guest host Aaron Maté speaks with Finkelstein about Hasan’s reporting on the Twitter Files as well as his contribution to labeling the Labour Party’s Jeremy Corbyn an antisemite.

    Meta launches Twitter rip-off “Threads” application, immediately starts censoring users for voicing unapproved thoughts
    07/09/2023 // Ethan Huff

    https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-07-...-thoughts.html




    It has been just a few days since the official launch of Threads, the new Twitter wannabe social media platform from Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram. And already several prominent figures and personalities have been censored or banned from the platform for violating its "Community Guidelines" or otherwise spreading "misinformation."
    Shaney Yricch of "The Street Poller" was notified that a thread he posted on Threads was removed just moments after he shared it "because it goes against our Community Guidelines."

    "Following our guidelines is the only way to prevent your account from being deleted, including your posts, archive, messages and followers," a prompt further threatened Yricch.

    The post in question had to do with the recent discovery of a baggie of cocaine at the White House during a visit by Joe and Hunter Biden, as well as the rest of the Biden Crime Family.

    According to Threads, posting about this incident "goes against our guidelines," because apparently talking about the Biden Crime Family is off limits on the social media platform.


    Threads warns users against following Donald Trump Jr. because his account has "repeatedly posted false information"

    One does not even have to try to post anything on Threads in order to receive a nanny state prompt like this. Numerous accounts that have tried to follow Donald Trump Jr. under the handle "donaldjtrumpjr" are receiving notices asking them if they really want to follow him after all.

    "This account has repeatedly posted false information that was reviewed by independent fact-checkers or went against our Community Guidelines" reads said prompt, forcing users to either confirm that they want to follow Trump Jr. or to cancel if they change their mind based on the prompt.

    The "DC_Draino" account run by Rogan O'Handley tweeted about the same prompt showing up for his Threads account. Users who try to follow DC_Draino are presented with the same prompt as shown when trying to follow Donald Trump Jr.

    Perhaps the worst part about the Threads platform is its privacy invasion protocols. In order to use Threads, a user must agree to have data collected on:

    • Health & Fitness

    • Financial Info

    • Contact Info

    • User Content

    • Browsing History

    • Usage Data

    • Diagnostics

    • Purchases

    • Location

    • Contacts

    • Search History

    • Identifiers

    • Sensitive Info

    • Other Data

    This covers just about anything else a person does on his phone or device, meaning Threads collects everything private that a user does, including unrelated browser activity.

    "So it censors you for posting facts that might make people in power look bad, tries to dissuade you from following one side of the political aisle, and tracks everything you do," is how Not the Bee described this massive privacy invasion.

    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) also complained that when she tried to use Threads, it took just five minutes for the app to become "bricked," as she described it.

    "... it was just as I hit send on a long post of Queens food recommendations," AOC wrote about the Threads app just freezing and closing when she attempted to post something.

    It might seem like something to just laugh off, but the reality is that if Threads succeeds, it will capture 80 percent of the global market share outside of Russia and China, according to journalist Michael Shellenberger.

    "As such, it's reasonable to expect that Meta will censor precisely the same way the large news media corporations, including the New York Times, and corporate advertisers want it to," Shellenberger warns.

    Big Tech just will not quit in censoring voices online. Learn more at Censorship.news.

    Enjoyed listening to that - but was very tempted to find Matt's contact details and fire off an email when he said his wifes is a Dr. and he thinks vaccines, (in general), have been largely helpful. (paraphrasing)

    I think he is someone that would disappear down the rabbit hole if you gave him the links - nevertheless I just went to the fridge and opened another beer!

    Exclamation Re: Elon Musk releases the Twitter files

    • Matt Taibbi On Government Boogeymen

    “There’s always 'demon X' that they’re warning audiences away from,” says Matt Taibbi. "So it's anti-vaxxer, right? Or domestic violent extremist or insurrectionist or anything."
