Elon Musk Releases 'Twitter Files' Confirming Employees Were Censoring for Dems in 2020"...Slowly, over time, Twitter staff and executives began to find more and more uses for these tools.

"It was based on contacts. Because Twitter was and is overwhelmingly staffed by people of one political orientation, there were more channels, more ways to complain, open to the left (well, Democrats) than the right," Taibbi said, confirming conservatives' longtime suspicions that right-wing voices and entities are more regularly targeted on social media than their left-wing counterparts. Taibbi then jumped into the story about Twitter's involvement in suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story.
