Conservative commentator Charlie Kirk joined Fox News host Tucker Carlson to discuss the latest news that Twitter ‘blacklisted’ his account and that of other right-wingers.
Kirk told Carlson how his retweets and user engagement dropped sharply and suddenly in early 2020, saying the Twitter blacklisting revelations were proof of what he suspected the social media company was. was doing all the time.
The blacklisting news is the latest to emerge from the secret ‘Twitter Archives’ documenting the platform’s censorship efforts, which Elon Musk has begun posting as part of his pledge to restore Twitter as a safe haven for free speech.
The latest batch of files found that conservative commentators like Kirk and Dan Bongino and others who questioned the prevailing COVID orthodoxy of lockdowns and mask mandates were deliberately put on a “search blacklist” or labeled “do not amplify.”
Speaking to Carlson, Kirk said the social media company was censoring him more than the terrorist organizations because they “saw what he had to say as a direct threat to the regime.”
‘Did the federal government tell you to do this?’ she asked herself, describing how she saw Twitter’s shift from a social media platform to a “Democrat super PAC.”
Kirk detailed to Carlson how his account was being retweeted at least 115,000 times a day before the pandemic. However, once he began tweeting skeptically about the effect of the lockdown measures, he said that interaction on his account fell “off a cliff.”
“They called me a conspiracy theorist, they smeared me,” he said, counting how many reacted to his suggestions at a time when Twitter may have been censoring his account for his views.
“Now you see actual verified documents where my Twitter account was tagged as do not amplify, NSFW, which I can only infer means it’s not safe work.” Kirk said.
“They are treating my Twitter account with more scrutiny and censorship than the prime minister of Iran, than Hamas, than people who do real terrorist-type harm.”
“We now have evidence to show that that is exactly why my Twitter account over the last two years has dropped by 95 percent in engagement.
“They saw what he had to say as a direct threat to the regime.”
‘Did the federal government tell you to do this?’ Kirk asked.
“My Tweet was somehow able to create a viral counter-message about what they wanted to see happen in 2020? We may never know.”
“But Twitter in its prime, when it was really something to be appreciated, and I hope it gets there soon, was a place where unorthodox ideas could spread instantly with manliness and hold powerful people accountable.
I had one of those accounts for years, and Twitter did everything they could to censor it and put our account down.
