The wholesale political censorship against a standing president now being operated by Twitter is just breathtaking in its audacity. Here’s a link to the tweet (which will undoubtedly disappear):
Here’s the video @Twitter deleted from my feed 2 separate times.
We should share it again just to piss them off. pic.twitter.com/BeA05zKswr

Here’s a screendump of what I found:
“May contain sensitive content” … the actual video may be cringeworthy, or even sycophantic, filled as it is with people of all types saying how much they love Trump, but “sensitive”…. not in the slightest.
Twitter are clearly attempting to censor pro-trump material, but clearly, due to enthusiastic supporters finding a way around the blocks, that material is still being seen. And the fact it is being blocked is what is attracting people to see it.
That is why censorship doesn’t work. If twitter had completely ignored Trump, I personally would certainly not watch the video. But because twitter are attempting to block it, I then intentionally sought it out to view it.
Which …. really starts to make me wonder if it is possible that Twitter are actually very pro-Trump and are trying to actively encourage support by pretending to block his material. That seems far fetched, but that is all they’re doing at the moment … making Trump more and more popular and the voice of freedom against the Google, facebook, twitter, youtube, apple … censors.
