There is almost nothing that Twitter or Google or Facebook can do to surprise conservatives anymore, and the pressure on them as Parler and Rumble are getting all the kinks out an increasingly rapid pace only seems to have made them even more likely to play politics for their side, not less.
For example, as Ryan Saavedra points out, the worlds largest instant social platform is doing something that, if a user were to do it would be against site policy: targeted harassment.
This is Twitter’s way of directing harassment at someone who wrote something that they don’t approve of because it attacks a Democrat—the same Democrat they suppressed negative news stories about during the election.

Exactly right. The “trending” you see on the sidebar isn’t random based only on algorithmic detection of lots of tweets. It has been established over and over that their “curators” select less talked about stories based on the ideological bent. And that’s what they’re doing here.
It is proscribed to refuse to play pretend doctor with Mrs. Biden, who clearly got her PhD. in being Mrs. Biden, just like Hunter got his Ukraine and China-hD.s for being junior. Twitter is exacting revenge on their behalf.
And it’s not the only thing they’re doing. They have to do some double standards after all. So while being outraged about “disrespectful” treatment of Biden, they’re CHEERING AND DEFENDING other, explicit disrespect.
All day they’ve had trending topics of liberals bashing Marco Rubio for bashing Biden deputy chief of staff Jen O’Malley Dillon for calling Trump supporters “f**kers.” They had big long explanations of why and how he was bad in the actual trending topic list, obviously written by Twitter.
Now y’all, as Right Scoop readers, might ask “why are we surprised? How is this even news anymore?”
But the answer’s simple, because this still matters and will for a while yet, and harassment of conservatives in public spaces by authorities, real ones or perceived ones, is a major front in the culture war. It’s nuts to not call it out.
