'''Twitter, Inc.''' is a [[liberal]]-controlled [[Big Tech]] social networking tool that rapidly emerged as a new medium of online [[news]] distribution.

“GET HIM OUT,” posted a senior site reliability engineer on August 18, 2020 “What a f–king baboon.”  One manager with nine years on the job said he was quite keen to watch Biden “crush [Trump] in the election” and that he hoped the president would “be utterly humiliated while also suffering greatly from [[Covid 19|#COVID19]].”  He vulgarly and immaturely calls Trump “a f–king idiot” and the voters who elected him — “hysterically f–king [[stupid]] people.”  Others publicly wish the President harm.  One Twitter engineering manager, displaying his own [[childishness]], said Trump should “die in a fire” in a January 2017 tweet.  A year later, he rang in the new year by falsely claiming “Happy 2018! Donald Trump is dead!”

None of these comments have ever been flagged by Twitter or been subject to any other form of official sanction, even as the social-media giant unjustly dishes out discipline to others for sharing legitimate news stories about Joe Biden.  After a fly landed on Vice President [[Mike Pence]]’s head during his debate with Sen. [[Kamala Harris]], the Twitter vice president noted crudely that flies are “drawn to sh-t.”

[[Donald Trump]] brought even more attention to the social networking site, and drew both more conservatives and critics. He made it a regular practice to communicate with the public using Twitter, perhaps because of his distrust of the news media. He became quite popular on Twitter, with over 26 million followers. He became so popular, in fact, that searching just the first letter ("r") of his "handle" (username, which is "@realDonaldTrump") returned him as the first search suggestion.

[[President Donald Trump]] brought even more attention to the social networking site, and drew both more conservatives and critics. He was well-known for his plentiful, blunt, and oft humorous tweets, and made it a regular practice to communicate with the public using Twitter, even before his political career. He became quite popular on Twitter, with over 26 million followers. He became so popular, in fact, that searching just the letter "r", the fist letter of his username,"@realDonaldTrump" returned him as the first search suggestion. He was banned from Twitter on January 6th, 2021, after the mostly peaceful Capitol building protests.

Iranian protesters angered by the results of [[Iran]]'s disputed presidential election started to tweet marches on the government. This forced the Islamic Republic to block all cell phone messaging in June 2009, as tweets can also be submitted via text message. At the request of the U.S. State Department, Twitter delayed scheduled maintenance to allow tweets from Iranians.
