Hit the heart below to “Like” this post and please share it with friends. Even though it was originally intended to be satire, with the recent releases of The Twitter Files by Elon Musk, it turns out this piece of music reportage is an entirely accurate description of shadow banning and how it really works at the social media companies.
Censor it UP, Censor it DOWN! [SONG/SATIRE]
