Here is Tessa in her OWN words. You tell me what you see.
"What the Twitter Files did was finally confirm that was happening.
They said that all their staff had the authority to stop 'reach' of people. They also said that for those people who didn't have a lot of followers, there was no access to human beings - that even when you reported it, it was just handled by bots. I can't explain the entire story to you- too much.
Do you think that people on the left were shocked?
Nope. They didn't even read the stuff. All they were upset about was Musk firing the lot of the staff. I'm glad he fired them. What they did was highly unethical. I'm speaking in very broad stokes, MIichel.le, You're a journalist. Put it together.
I was doing between $2000 and $3000 a month when I started hitting the big time, then something happened in December 2021, and basically, my figures started dropping fast.
From January, last year, the quality of what I say has dropped. I have no desire whatsoever to put int he work. I have lived in fear of saying the wrong thing. I am not the only one. Other writers on Medium have written to me and said the same thing happened to them.
It happened on Hubpages.
Jack Dorsey was asked in Congress whether Twitter 'shadow banned.' He said no. It was an outright lie.
Now the owner of Post.News has said he is going to do the same thing. He calls it a 'trust metric.' Those of us who are experienced immediately pointed out how it could be abused and how it gave favor to people who were well known.
I was very disappointed. I deleted 2/3 of my work on the site, and I've never posted since. I am so done with website owners 'influencing' the chatter behind the scenes.
This is all done in the name of 'stopping hate speech' and 'misinformation..' What it actually is, is giving power to the people who 'moderate' or 'run the website.'
As I said, the ONLY PEOPLE talking about the "Twitter Files" and "shadow banning" are Trumpublicans. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck....
