The Twitter Files are a series of internal documents from Twitter, released in late 2022 and 2023, that revealed how the platform handled content moderation, censorship, shadowbanning, and government influence. They were shared with journalists like Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss after Elon Musk took over Twitter (now X). Key findings included:
Suppression of certain political voices
Coordination with government agencies on content moderation
Shadowbanning of accounts without transparency
Internal debates over banning Trump after Jan 6
They were controversial, with critics calling it selective disclosure and supporters seeing it as proof of bias.
