Newly released records of political contributions by Twitter show its board members, top executives and major shareholders have all given overwhelmingly to Democrats, including Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, while snubbing Republicans and Donald Trump.
This, as the social media giant insisted it has no political agenda after it was caught last month “shadow-banning” Republicans, while placing no restrictions on Democrats.
The New York Post reports federal records reveal 80 percent of Twitter’s corporate PAC contributions in 2018 have gone to left-wing Democratic candidates.
Records also show Twitter has sought to influence Congress and federal agencies on behalf of Democratic causes and against President Trump’s policies.
Republicans continue to insist that conservative voices are being suspiciously suppressed on the platform just months before the November mid-terms.
