The Social Media Hive Mind

Scott Adams' Blog



You might have clicked on my misleading tweet to get to this page. I had to disguise the content so Twitter wouldn’t throttle it.
Here’s why…
This morning I tweeted a link to a great video that describes in detail how Twitter “throttles” the tweets of any content that disagrees with their political views. The video describes how Twitter gives a fake message that some tweets are no longer available, to discourage you from clicking to them. The tweets still exist, and you can access them by directly clicking the links in the tweets, but most people would not think to do that.
