Twitter files reveal concerted, aggressive effort to control COVID narratives by progressive left

In the latest batch of Twitter Files, as reported on by Matt Taibbi, a concerted and aggressive effort gained support and funding at Stanford University to pressure social media to control the narrative around COVID and silence those in opposition. 

Taibbi revealed in his reporting that the Virality Project as “a sweeping, cross-platform effort to monitor billions of social media posts by Stanford University, federal agencies, and a slew of (often state-funded) NGOs.”

What was most shocking is the Virality Project suppressed true stories of COVID vaccine fails and sought to suppress and stop the spread of this true information. 

“Virality Project emails were found in the #TwitterFiles describing “stories of true vaccine side effects” as actionable content.”

Furthermore, the efforts by the Virality Project, according to Taibbi’s reporting, targeted true material that went against their political ideology and views and stopped the material from spreading. 

“Though the Virality Project reviewed content on a mass scale for Twitter, Google/YouTube, Facebook/Instagram, Medium, TikTok, and Pinterest, it knowingly targeted true material and legitimate political opinion, while often being factually wrong itself.”

The initiative out of Stanford went so far as to publish to Twitter that true information that may cause people to be hesitant to take the vaccine should be removed from the platform!?

“VP told Twitter that “true stories that could fuel hesitancy,” including things like “celebrity deaths after vaccine” or the closure of a central NY school due to reports of post-vaccine illness, should be considered “Standard Vaccine Misinformation on Your Platform.”

I don’t think there is anything like this in modern times, a concerted effort by some of the country’s most influential organizations and schools to control the American people. An attempt to take over the media narrative and push a false one on this nation. Never before has our nation been in the darkness we are in today, as organizations attempt to push an agenda in every sphere of culture. This is truly a battle for the mountains of culture. Jesus is still King and always will be. Come quickly, Lord.
