Twitter has removed #PanamaPapers from Trending, despite it being #1 trend on Twitter ( conspiracy )

submitted by klongtoey

Edit: It's back in the trending list. And gone again!

VPN may have been making a location difference to the trending list?

\ #PanamaPapers no longer has 1 million + tweets, not sure how trending works.

Twitter even removed posts that exposed reality of the Greek crisis

I am using less and less social media because of this stuff. I would rather not be apart of it.

If you use twitter, you are a bundle of sticks.

Twitter censors the feed but Twitter does not censor the list of censored tweets afaik.

Wouldn't want those wacky conspiracy theories to gain momentum.

Quawonk

But Jack Dorsey said there wasn't any censorship!

Didn't they remove #stopislam too?

Trending for me...

It has reappeared for me now too! It did vanish for several hours.

It previously showed +1m tweets but now I see 89.9k tweets. Is perhaps this tweet count is per hour or something??? Not sure how the trending numbers are measured.

HomerSimpson

May just be based on your location. Since it is showing 1million+ for me.

klongtoey

ahhh, do displayed trends change with location?

i have a vpn and change my location multiple times per day, this could explain why it vanished from trending. or perhaps location-specific censorship? will try some IP hopping to see what happens. thank you.

I just know some form of trending is localized. I am not very familiar with Twitter.

klongtoey

when visible in trending list, i only see 90k tweets (down from 1m+). but like you am not too familiar with the workings of twitter.

am also not seeing differences in the trending list with different locations. who knows.

oh no, the artificial resistance to the artificial shill "leak" is so bad!

dabork

Wait, so you don't believe any of this is actually true?

pr0nw4r

Oh this may be all true, but in my mind, it is somewhat expected it to be so from these types of leaders. However, I find it completely absurd to think that the west does not do these types of practices. As a matter of fact, I think that the west is ten times worse than these guys. So if more stuff was released on the west, that would actually peak my interest.

dabork

Okay, that I can totally get behind. If when this is all said and done there is absolutely nobody implicated in America or Israel you know it sure as fuck isn't a coincidence. There is absolutely, positively, no way that there were no people in the US implicated in this. Just no fucking way.

LetsBeNakedOutside

They heavily implied they will later. I think it's smart doing this in little clusters so people can take the time to actually read it.

Maybe after everything is out, the reason things are released in the order they are will become apparent?

dabork

Okay that makes a lot more sense. The way he phrased it made it seem like he believed this whole thing is some psy-op or something, which I doubt.
Unless the raw data is released or at least handed off to someone not in a position to lick the US's balls, we probably won't see implication of anyone from the US or Israel, and not because this is a fabrication, but simply because they can. If they have the power to control the narrative, why wouldn't they?

luckyguy

Let's put this in perspective. The only people who would not want that trending is the government. Maybe we got here quite slowly but we have crossed the rubicon into government censorship. Let that sink in. We are there.

Pawn

yup. They own your ass. And my ass too.

Need to stop using Twitter.

escapefromredditbay

getting censored seems to be the latest crown a 1# hashtag gets. stopping the point of your product is now a sign of progress? fuck twitter
