We reported in July 2018 that Twitter has long been accused of censoring conservatives. Twitter was indeed censoring and shadowbanning the President of the United States, Donald Trump’s twitter account, @realDonaldTrump.
Twitter is still at it!
In July 2018 we reported that a study by the leftist website VICE News found that Twitter is censoring top pro-Trump lawmakers. Twitter is targeting pro-Trump Republican lawmakers Matt Gaetz, Devin Nunes, Mark Meadows, Jim Jordan and John Ratcliffe with the same shadowbanning technique.
Twitter is also censoring prominent pro-Trump accounts including: Mike Cernovich, Jack Posobiec, Paul Joseph Watson, TGP’s Jim Hoft, TGP’s Cassandra Fairbanks and Laura Loomer among others.
Last year Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) told the Daily Caller Foundation on Wednesday he is considering filing a FEC complaint over Twitter’s preferential treatment of liberals versus its censoring of prominent conservatives.
In July there was even video proof that President Trump’s Twitter page is being censored.
In a video tweeted in July 2017 by user @RightlyNews, a tweet by @realDonaldTrump ‘unliked’ itself after the user ‘liked’ the tweet by clicking the heart button.
Strangely, the user clicked ‘like’ on two prior tweets by @AmericanVoterUS and @FoxNews with no ‘unlike’ issues.
The user ‘liked’ President Trump’s tweet a total of four times and it was ‘unliked’ four times.

After the third time clicking ‘like’ on President Trump’s tweet, the user moved on to ‘like’ a tweet by the AP and it went off without any issues.
Hey @Twitter, why won't you let me support my President? I'm furious. This is at least the 50th time this has happened… #TwitterCensorship pic.twitter.com/isrmjvrBLr

Yesterday another Twitter user reported that Twitter was restating the counts on a tweet by the President. The user smalltownandrew’ provided proof:
https://twitter.com/smalltownandrew/status/1088117239239331840
The President has over 57 million followers on his account but rarely does he receive more than 20,000 retweets or 100,000 likes on his tweets.
The President’s tweets are the most epic in Twitter history but he only receives a small percent of what would be expected in replies. For example, the corrupt John Brennan, Obama’s Head of the CIA, has only a half a million Twitter followers but he receives the same number of retweets or likes as the President. Goofy corrupt Brennan’s account is 1% the size of the President’s and yet he gets the same number of retweets or likes?? This simply is not statistically possible!
Also, nearly every tweet that the President makes is littered at the top with comments from far-left trolls. Their comments are disgusting. Twitter doesn’t just allow this, they mandate it. They set up their crazy algorithms to promote the garbage troll comments at the top.
Twitter constantly blocks or deletes tweets from conservatives or tweets with pro-conservative or pro-life content –

Some day soon we’ll all be on another site that promotes free speech and doesn’t shadowban or block conservative content and we’ll make jokes about how horrible Twitter was.
