Elon Musk releases the second set of 'Twitter Files,' detailing how conservatives were shadow-banned and blacklisted

Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk released a second edition of the "Twitter Files" on Thursday, revealing how the company had shadow-banned and blacklisted accounts.

The story was released to journalist Bari Weiss, who tweeted it in a long thread from her account.

"A new #TwitterFiles investigation reveals that teams of Twitter employees build blacklists, prevent disfavored tweets from trending, and actively limit the visibility of entire accounts or even trending topics—all in secret, without informing users," she said in a second tweet.

Weiss detailed how Twitter placed the account of Dr. Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford University on a “Trends Blacklist,” which prevented his tweets from trending because he argued that pandemic lockdowns were harmful to children.

In another instance, radio talk show host Dan Bongino was placed on a "Search Blacklist" for a time. It also put Charlie Kirk's account on a "Do Not Amplify" list.
