Good Propaganda Needs a Good Disguise

Elon Musk's Twitter Takeover is designed to mold your opinions about free speech. To the producers, limiting speech is good, it's right, it's what ethical social media platforms do. To prove that controlling free speech is good the producer needed allies, people to promote that line.

The producer found them at Twitter. There were legions of disgruntled employees, fired from their cushy jobs without their bonuses or juicy severance packages. They were glad to dump on free speech. They hate it, and censoring it was, to them, noble.

The producer also found them at DHS, the government agency coordinating the censorship. Yoel Roth, the chief censor at Twitter, got lots of air time to defend himself- more than anyone else. He claimed he met with the FBI more than 20 but less than 50 times, but it never affected his judgment, and then, it wasn't really his judgment, or was everyone's judgment that working with the FBI and DHS was the right thing to do.

Who didn't the producer interview? How about the affiants, the sworn witnesses who convinced at least three courts that the Biden Administration and Twitter violated the civil rights of Americans by censoring their speech. Those people are completely absent.

Realize you are being "handled" and manipulated in a clever way, but read the real evidence in Missouri v Biden and you'll see how nefarious what they did was.

Aggressively annoying Twitter whistle sound ruins documentary
jpgr115 October 2023
I was very interested in this subject matter, but I don't know if I will be able to get through this. I'm 20 minutes in and I've stopped counting that high-pitched Twitter whistle sound that gets played with every Tweet shown on screen.

I don't know who made the choice to include these whistles, but it was a huge mistake. I'm thoroughly irritated now and bracing myself for the next whistle.

I've only ever seen one other example of this sound effect being used and it was in the (awful) movie Zola, which was based off on long Twitter thread from Reddit, rather than an actual script. It was as bad as it sounds.

In closing, this documentary is intolerably annoying due to the whistle sound effects that accompany every on screen image of a Tweet. You ruined your documentary.
