On Thursday night, Bari Weiss, founder and editor of The Free Press, released the Twitter Files Part Two at the behest of Elon Musk, revealing Twitter had “secret blacklists.”
Weiss has been working with Musk and independent journalist, Matt Taibbi, to disclose internal Twitter information regarding censorship.
Twitter’s censorship methods, according to Weiss, included placing specific users on a “Trends Blacklist” or a “Search Blacklist.”

The second installment of Elon Musk’s so-called “Twitter Files” shed light on the company’s practices of secretly “blacklisting” certain tweets and users.
“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,” journalist Bari Weiss began her thread on Thursday.
“Twitter once had a mission ‘to give everyone the power to create and share ideas and information instantly, without barriers.’ Along the way, barriers nevertheless were erected,” Weiss wrote.
The first installment, shared Friday by Substack writer Matt Taibbi, offered insight as to what led to Twitter’s suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story during the 2020 presidential election.
Like the first installment of the Twitter files, this information just confirms what most people already suspected, but it does provide concrete proof. Breaking Digest previously reported that the information released in the first installment of the Twitter Files gave actor James Woods the concrete proof he needed to take legal action against the Democratic National Committee for pressuring Twitter employees to censor conservatives.
