MORE ADAM SCHIFF BANS, AND “DEAMPLIFICATION.”

A brief thread of 10 tweets showing that the former head of the House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff, sent repeated requests for bans of people critical of their office.

Key Revelation: Schiff and the DNC both not only asked for the takedown of an obvious satire by “Peter Douche,” but requested takedowns of accounts that were critical of the Steele dossier and outed the name of the supposed “whistleblower” in the Ukrainegate case, Eric Ciaramella. Schiff staffers said that while they “appreciate greatly” efforts by Twitter to deamplify certain accounts, they worried such effort s “could… impede the ability of law enforcement to search Twitter.”

Questions

• If a public servant tries to bully into silence (censor) a citizen, is this a solid legal ground for a lawsuit?

• Are there any laws for this type of Evil behavior? Illegal?
