White House launches a tool that allows people to report when they think their social media accounts have been blocked or suspended due to political bias. What could possibly go wrong? https://t.co/A4IL8QYgZF

Twitter spox: "We enforce the Twitter Rules impartially for all users, regardless of their background or political affiliation. We are constantly working to improve our systems and will continue to be transparent in our efforts." Waiting to hear back from FB and YouTube.

Now racists can complain directly to the president when Twitter suspends them.

"White House launches tool to report censorship on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter”

Not only has this point been proven false over and over again, it has zero bearing on what private companies decide to do about their rules and enforcement. Even if these companies decided to kick everyone who subscribed to one ideology off, its their call.https://t.co/WQVYjcbJAY

The new White House social media censorship reporting form includes this:

So it's also a list-building exercise. pic.twitter.com/i3kq50VNpR

The online form lists Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and an option for other social media accounts. pic.twitter.com/g225HOnFN9

— Queenie Wong (@QWongSJ) May 15, 2019

The WH is encouraging users to submit examples of social media "political bias." The form also asks for a bunch of personal info (name, age, email, citizenship) which, as @kevinroose points out, seems like a great way to compile a mailing list pre-2020... https://t.co/Sa0JPhk3zv

NEW: White House escalates war against Facebook, Google and Twitter with a campaign asking users to share stories of censorship. Comes same day the Trump admin said it couldn't sign a pledge against online extremism because it was bad for free speech. https://t.co/SCNfFcqgSD

— Tony Romm (@TonyRomm) May 15, 2019

I can’t see this being abused in any way, shape or form. (Though it does have a “prove you’re not a robot” question.)

It’s really childish, and basically an excuse to get people to sign up to get emails hassling them to donate to Trump.

A palace run by bitter children. https://t.co/3zz5SrwPHO

— Charles Arthur (@charlesarthur) May 15, 2019

The WH otherwise has declined to say what it's going to do with the data, though the admin did say it was going to hold a roundtable with execs on bias last year. Expect p strong blow back from House Dems, who have long criticized GOP for bias claims. https://t.co/qk1a3XKaPd

UPDATED: In unprecedented move, Trump WH asks people to share stories of political bias targeting them on FB, Google, Twitter, seeking names, account links and more. Free speech advocates are alarmed, and open gov experts question use of taxpayer resources https://t.co/SCNfFcqgSD

It's been over a year since Diamond & Silk testified before Congress on being "shadowbanned." Republicans have become more concerned over this alleged conservative bias w/o much evidence aside from that which they can provide anecdotally.

Now, the WH officially wants in: https://t.co/1hDI8eq866

Form doesn't appear to do any basic validation of the URLs submitted and allows for the upload of screenshots. Pity the poor intern who has to go through what I am sure will be earnest and totally true uploads and not a whole lot of...distasteful content. https://t.co/syxMROwNSR

— Renee DiResta (@noUpside) May 15, 2019

The thing about the Trump Facebook bias survey is it’s just going to be used to assemble a voter file, which Trump will then pay Facebook millions of dollars to target with ads about how biased Facebook is.

The @WhiteHouse’s new website to solicit stories of ‘political bias’ contains a number of 3rd party analytics and CDP trackers including @Amplitude_HQ @newrelic @segment .

These are likely in violation of the Federal #Privacy Act
