If for some sane reason, you don’t know what ”AttackWatch” is all about, we humbly submit an entry called, at the time of this update, “Fine! Updated with Hitler, The #AttackWatch!! Commercial + Black & Red Reruns.”
While laughing at President Obama’s AttackWatch.com epoch fail on Twitter via the hash tag #attackwatch the site suddenly crashed for about an hour. Twitter is not known for reliability, but what followed deserves a massive outcry.
When the site returned, #attackwatch was hidden from the trending topics. Twitter gurus @GulagBound and @ArlenWilliams helped piece together the evidence.
At the time of authoring the following were trending on Twitter:
Below are the current (constantly updating) statistics for worldwide tweets (click to enlarge):
Stats for #Glen Rice
Stats for #fastfoodaddiction
Stats for #womenlawviolation
It is clear that Twitter has affected their trending report in order to protect the Orwellian administration. Twitter is protecting a government "thought crime" tool designed to divide the American people. By protecting this tool Twitter has gone too far. Twitter is no better than Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa calling Americans SOBs. Obama has jumped the shark with his attack campaign and Twitter has followed up with a shark jump of their own.
Gulag Note - The censoring of such data with political effect is gravely serious business in an American republic now very reliant upon the Internet and social media for access to knowledge with freedom of speech. This instance follows numerous prior complaints from conservatives, about Twitter’s selective and apparently politically biased display of trending topics. It would be a shame for the only solution to become increased government regulation.
Along with Trendistic.com, a tool set used to monitor trending words and phrases in Twitter is Hashtag.org. For learning more about the use of hashtags in Twitter, we suggest Google: track hashtags.
