I'm shocked! Shocked to learn that "Money Talks!"

not weighing in on whether this was the right or wrong move

but i am curious how much of twitter's policy decision-making is dictated by important figures (who twitter insiders obviously care about keeping happy) threatening to leave the servicehttps://t.co/yu1BEk5gku pic.twitter.com/OWsBlpWzkz

I mean, it is a private commercial platform after all.  How many Q-Anon columns does WaPo publish on its Op-Ed page, or in "Letters to the Editor"?  And how many columns would it publish attacking major advertisers in the paper?

Or any paper, for that matter.  How many opinion columnists have access to the pages of major newspapers to systematically and consistently over time critique capitalism and the military-industrial complex?  Fewer than get to write about Democrats in disarray (but not, to date, the GOP in dissarray), I'll warrant.

Splinters and beams; it's always splinters and beams.
