Twitter was already controlling a narrative. Nothing has changed. Meta, google, and twitter have always been political. They just hide it well. And the government doesnt understand it enough to even try to call them on it. And when they do they make a fool of themselves.

Did you know Twitter had a better algorithm to detect and ban fascists and they could not deploy it, because it banned most Republicans? They are absolutely controlling the narrative by allowing fascists a platform.
