|content=NOTE: I am noticing how I seldom see tweets from my friends with large followings the way I used to unless I visit their timelines. I’m noticing how much longer it now takes to grow a following on Twitter compared to other platforms. This is increasingly feeling like gaslighting:

|content=Dear @jack:
 
I believe I must repeatedly violate @vijaya & @TwitterSafety rules to be honest about official lies. I believe you/they are also manipulating my reach. I call for an end to the opaque manipulation of the national conversation: we have a right to know your algorithms.

|content=The SG DELETED the tweet I called out as a lie in real time. Here’s the lie the Surgeon General’s office covered up.
 
@jack: We can’t afford the responsible heterodox subjected to @TwitterSafety.
 
@nytimes: we can’t afford @TaylorLorenz & @nhannahjones enforcing your groupthink.

|content=@jack, I am asking you as a friend and as a STEM PhD who has been responsible on your platform for over a decade to grant some heterodox tweeters '''academic freedom'''. Let some of be those who watch the watchers of your @TwitterSafety. We all need oversight of the oversight.

|content=No one believes in your opaque Terms of Service. @TwitterSafety is artificially controlling our conversation determining who I can see & who I cannot.
 
Point Blank: You do *not* have the right to manipulate the US national conversation just because it takes place on your servers.

|content=Boğaziçi Univeristy has been the jewel of Turkey’s academic system since the Ottoman era.
 
But it is also associated with secularism, Christianity, tolerance, '''academic freedom''', high standards and the west. And thus, it finds itself under attack from Turkey’s current government.

|content=Boğaziçi U. academics are trying to have a court annul Erdoğan’s appointment of a politician as their rector. Meanwhile, the appointee is hurriedly stripping away BU’s core institutions. Faculty voting rights are gone. He himself will fill all positions.

|content=And a risk even to someone as large as Joe who has taken a lot of media fire with grace.
 
As I said to @esaagar & @makosloff, the money from Spotify may actually help freedom to think in public after all.
 
Oddly, at the moment:
 
Spotify FU Money > '''Institutional Academic Freedom'''.

And way to go @joerogan. This informal network requires folks to have each other’s backs. But it’s always a risk with big tech, big pharma & big government on the side of these master narratives.

|content=Huge thanks to @joerogan for the "emergency podcast" on #ivermectin, with me and @PierreKory. The censorship campaign obscuring Ivermectin (as prophylactic against SARS-CoV2 and as treatment for COVID-19) kills. Is it about shareholders and EUAs?

Thank you @RollingStone!!! Can we finally get to the point where we are asking why THERE HAS BEEN TOTAL COOPERATION of the Press with what is likely a **TOTALY** UNETHICAL IC OPERATION?🙏

|content=I want '''academic freedom''' on this platform @jack. It takes too long for the normies and the press to get to the truth. Your @TwitterSafety just isn’t good enough. This account was taking HUGE risk to talk about Epstein and intelligence.
 
Don’t ever think of throttling me again.

|content=Oh for f’s sake. Science didn’t lose the public trust.
 
Academicians stripped of '''academic freedom''' lost public trust. Irreproducible [[Peer Review|Peer reviewed]] papers lost public trust. Public health lost public trust.
 
Is ANYONE worried about Avogadro’s number or the genetic code being wrong?

When you ask for implicit bias testing to decolonize science, allow them to tell you that you are a quack racial fetishist. Let them kick you out of their buildings on campus.

|content=Starkly: lap dogs &amp; scientists are not the same thing. If you want to get a cuddle pal and put festive ribbons in its hair, you want a French poodle.
 
No one smart does that with a honey badger, wolf or Wolverine.
 
Scientists need insulation from you if you expect to trust them.

And we are getting to the point where gifts and talents are simply seen and portrayed as privilege and oppression to one of our two political parties.
