Read our privacy policy A second edition of the “Twitter Files” claimed to reveal that the company has “secret blacklists”, which observers say sound highly similar to the billionaire’s own policies. Former New York Times opinion columnist Bari Weiss presented a series of cases in which Twitter has limited the distribution and recommendation of certain tweets. “You won’t find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from rest of Internet.” The second instalment of Twitter Files, came after newsletter author Matt Taibbi wrote about the ways in which Twitter limited access to a New York Post article on Hunter Biden’s laptop, weeks before the 2020 presidential election won by his father, Joe Biden. Following Weiss’s report, Mr Musk tweeted, “Twitter is working on a software update that will show your true account status, so you know clearly if you’ve been shadowbanned, the reason why and how to appeal.”
