The "Twitter files" showed that prominent right wing accounts were flagged as "do not intervene" and required special intervention from executives in response to violations of the TOS. In short, they were given special treatment to allow them to break rules without recourse.
On top of that, both independent and internal Twitter research has consistently showed that right wing accounts and content were more often given algorithmic preference (boosted), which you might know is the opposite of suppression.
Unfortunately for everyone, the information Elon released in his co-called "Twitter Files" is very clearly selective to show only part of the story, as we are given no such information about commensurate left wing accounts from which to draw comparison.

Every study that has been done on this subject has come to the same conclusion, so while this one might be limited in scope this is a historical trend.

One month is a massive massive difference when it comes to early childhood development. Cannot be overstated how huge of a difference that is.

What do the Twitter files say about left wing accounts? Oh right, nothing. How can we draw conclusions with less than half of the necessary information?
