Twitter Adds ‘State-Affiliated Media’ Label to NPR’s Account

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Tuesday, Twitter added a “US state-affiliated media” label to NPR’s social media account. The label appears at the top of the new organization’s profile and on every tweet.

According to the social media website’s policies, the “state-affiliated media” designation is placed on government accounts and used to “provide additional context for accounts heavily engaged in geopolitics and diplomacy.”

The label appears on the profile page of the relevant Twitter account and on the Tweets sent by and shared from these accounts. Labels contain information about the country the account is affiliated with and whether it is operated by a government representative or state-affiliated media entity,” the policy states.

In the past, the label has been reserved for foreign government-affiliated media outlets, including Russia-based RT and China-based Xinhua.

Twitter’s policy explains that the social media company defines government-affiliated accounts as “senior officials and entities that are the official voice of the nation state abroad.” (Read more from “Twitter Adds ‘State-Affiliated Media’ Label to NPR’s Account” HERE)

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Elon Musk’s Twitter has restricted accounts of prominent conservative politicians, journalists, and activists that are raising awareness about the fact that radical transgender activists called for a “Trans Day of Vengeance” ahead of the mass shooting at a Nashville Christian school, carried out by a woman who identified as transgender.

One of the suspended accounts included Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who reportedly tweeted an image of a poster advertising the upcoming “Trans Day of Vengeance” event, which is being hosted by the Trans Radical Activist Network.

“My Congressional account was suspended for 7 days for exposing Antifa, who are organizing a call for violence called ‘Trans Day of Vengeance,’” Greene said. “The day after the mass murder of children by a trans shooter.” . . .

Greene is not the only account suspended on Twitter due to raising awareness about what radical transgender activists are planning.

‘Twitter Files’ Hearing Erupts as Journalist Refuses to Reveal Sources in Heated Exchange With Democrat

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Sylvia Garcia, D-Texas, was accused of badgering journalist Matt Taibbi into revealing a source on Thursday during a heated House Judiciary Committee hearing on the “Twitter Files,” but the reporter wouldn’t budge.

Sourcing was a sensitive subject as it had already come up during the hearing when Taibbi was asked directly about it regarding his reporting on internal Twitter communications and accusations of government censorship. Garcia asked Taibbi when Twitter owner Elon Musk first approached him to partake in the “Twitter Files” project, which has allowed once-secret internal discussions to be exposed, revealing an array of issues.

Taibbi began to say he couldn’t reveal that information when Garcia insisted she simply needed a date.

“I can’t give it to you, unfortunately, because this is a question of sourcing, and I’m a journalist. I don’t reveal my sources,” Taibbi said.

‘Biden Showered with His Daughter’: WH Comms in Hot Water after Sharing Tweet

/1 Comment/in , , /by

White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates found himself in hot water Wednesday after sharing a video from an account mocking President Joe Biden.

Bates shared a video of White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre that had been posted by Greg Price, the senior digital strategist at XStrategies LLC and a former Daily Caller social media coordinator. Before Bates shared the clip, Price had temporarily changed his account name to “Joe Biden Showered With His Daughter,” causing the moniker to show up under Bates’ post.

Bates also retweeted Price’s original tweet containing the video, apparently without noticing Price’s account name.

In the video from Thursday’s press briefing, Jean-Pierre lamented the alleged “bad faith attacks” against Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg over his handling of the train derailment and toxic chemical spill in East Palestine, Ohio.

‘Middle Finger to Biden’: Saudis Boost U.S. Citizen’s Sentence to 19 Years Over Tweets After Wh Condemns Punishment

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Saudi appeals court has increased the prison sentence of US citizen Saad Almadi for tweets from 16 years to 19 years in a “middle finger” to President Biden, his son tells The Post.

The State Department told Ibrahim Almadi about the revised Saudi penalty Wednesday — months after the White House publicly condemned his father’s treatment.

“It’s not a slap in the face, it’s a middle finger,” Ibrahim told The Post, noting that his septuagenarian father has “lost more than 80 pounds” since his arrest in November 2021 on charges linked to more than a dozen tweets mildly critical of the Saudi government.

“When the US asked for an appeal, they said, ‘Here you go, 19 years!’” his son exclaimed.

Saad Almadi’s case has come up repeatedly at White House briefings — though Biden has not personally commented on it. (Read more from “‘Middle Finger to Biden’: Saudis Boost U.S. Citizen’s Sentence to 19 Years Over Tweets After Wh Condemns Punishment” HERE)

Elon Musk on Tuesday said Twitter will henceforth be more accepting of different values after reinstating the account of Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., which was suspended over a hunting photo. . .

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, shared a photoshopped image of Daines appearing to pose for a mugshot while holding the photo that got his Twitter account suspended. Cruz captioned: “#FreeSteveDaines.”

Podcast Host Blocked by Menstrual App for Tweeting ‘Trans Women Don’t Have Periods’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Podcast host Allie Beth Stuckey was blocked on social media by a menstrual-tracking application after criticizing the platform for allowing men who identify as women to have access to a product where women share “intimate details about their bodies.”

Stuckey, the conservative Chrisitan host of The Blaze’s “Relatable” podcast and author of You’re Not Enough (And That’s Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love, shared pictures of her exchange with Flo Health in a Tuesday tweet.

“Flo period tracker defended allowing men who identify as women on their apps, taking part in chats with women sharing intimate details about their bodies,” the conservative author wrote. . .

Stuckey shared a photo of a reply she tweeted to the company on Monday, writing that “Trans women don’t have periods, so,” along with a photo showing Flo Health blocked her on Twitter.

In a reply tweet Monday, Stuckey tweeted a photo from a user named “TroonyToons” showing individuals claiming to be “trans women” writing in a chat room intended for women. Two of the users in the forum appear to be talking about using the women’s restroom, while another discusses switching from “she/her” pronouns to “she/they.” (Read more from “Podcast Host Blocked by Menstrual App for Tweeting ‘Trans Women Don’t Have Periods’” HERE)

New Batch of Twitter Files Makes Clear the Lengths Big Pharma Went Through to Lobby Social Media

/0 Comments/in , /by

The new editions of Twitter Files keep on coming. Earlier on Monday we were treated to another one to do with COVID-19, in this case specifically as it applied to how Big Pharma was in league with social media to push their narrative. . .

In a revelation that’s hardly surprising, Fang points to how Big Pharma “saw the crisis as an opportunity for unprecedented profit.” This included shutting out others who could help with treatments and vaccines. As Fang put it, “pharma launched a massive lobbying blitz to crush any effort to share patents/IP…”

That meant directly reaching out to the then new Biden administration to demand sanctions against countries that sought to provide low-cost vaccines, with Fang linking to an article he wrote for The Intercept on March 3, 2021. Among those countries that were asked to be punished included Hungary, Colombia, and Chile.
