GZ,
I just noticed that President Trump is getting shadow banned on Twitter. What that means is that if you follow Trump on Twitter like I do, you are not seeing his posts in your Twitter Feed. I have not seen Trump's posts in weeks now. I don't know why it occurred to me to check, but I went to his posts directly by searching for him and then I could see them, but I can no longer see Trump's posts in my Feed. Twitter is reprioritizing Trump's posts in people's Feeds, so that he gets less visibility. This means his posts to defend himself for the lies from The Atlantic on the military are not being seen by many people.

Shadow banning like this is one insidious way that Twitter, Facebook, and Google censor conservatives, especially Trump, by reprioritizing their posts, regardless of the fact that Trump is a super celebrity with 85.5 million followers. It's not just odd that I don't get his posts in my Feed, it is obviously on purpose censorship by Twitter.

I don't know what Trump can do about this, but he should throw the whole weight of the DOJ into figuring out a way to hold big tech accountable for their destruction of the 1st Amendment.
