A tweet sent from Trump’s account at 3:04 PM EDT yesterday is not visible from his timeline, even when showing “Tweets and replies.” That message included a video wherein Trump declared that “the establishment and special interests are absolutely killing our country.”At the time of this writing, the tweet is still publicly accessible via a direct link and thus has not been deleted either by Twitter or by someone operating on the Trump account.
This archive.is link has a copy of the timeline taken before this article was published which clearly shows the tweet not appearing where it should be — between a tweet sent at 12:10 PM EDT and one sent at 3:27 PM EDT; it is possible that the tweet may be reintroduced to the timeline in order to hide the manipulation.
Milo Yiannopoulos, editor of Breitbart Tech, predicted 2 months ago that Twitter would seek to interfere with the primary process, noting that Twitter’s head of news, government and elections served as Deputy Chief of Staff for a Democrat senator from Louisiana in 2008, and that he is also a Term Member of the Council of Foreign Relations. A move to shadowban the tweets of the Republican front-runner would therefore not entirely be unexpected.
Unlike Twitter, Facebook has publicly declared that it will not seek to influence the election, insisting that it is “a neutral platform,” but it, too, has an algorithmic timeline and also has worked with German Chancellor Angela Merkel to remove anti-refugee comments from its site.
Breitbart Tech has reached out to Twitter for comment, but there has been no response so far.
Bump, I thought this was a big one.

Nigga, the entire media tampers with elections all day
The tech industry bigwigs hate Trump because they're amoral idiots motivated only by money, even at the cost of this country and many of its citizens. Anything goes as long as there's money to be made, right faggots?
That's why facebook and zuckerberg have come out against Trump

you know the american and british governments have had vids taken down from youtube that negatively reflect their leaders or the state of the countries right
the UK had london riots footage pulled from youtube and obama had that national broadcast of him saying he wanted to drone strike americans in america pulled along with all references on youtube
america and the brits also have google hide search finds of specific things. global oxygen levels is a new one NASA demanded be hid from the american population

you directly linked to brietbart. not that I don't like some of the content but archive it so you don't look a shill
I don't doubt that they are trying to do this.
But Breitbart is a horrible news organization and exaggerates and twists everything. Sometimes I wonder if they are controlled opposition they are so bad.
