Censorship by surrogate: Why Musk’s document dump could be a game changer

Censorship by surrogate: Why Musk’s document dump could be a game changer
“Handled.” 
That one word, responding to a 2020 demand to censor a list of Twitter users, speaks volumes about the thousands of documents released by Twitter’s new owner, Elon Musk, on Friday night. 
As many of us have long suspected, there were back channels between Twitter and the Biden 2020 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to ban critics or remove negative stories. 
Those seeking to discuss the scandal were simply “handled,” and nothing else had to be said.
