Republican Markeece Young says the Hillary Clinton campaign paid Twitter to
squelch his hashtag, #WhyImNotVotingforHillary.
Although it is less than certain if this is the case, one thing is for sure
— the Clinton campaign shelled out a big chunk of change to get her hashtag
to trend on the uber popular microblogging social media site.
CNN anchor Brian Stetler highlighted the inability of the Clinton hashtag
to trend higher than Young’s.
“And it got worse. 2 hours later the most popular hashtags on Twitter were
#WhyImNotVotingForHillary — which mocked her campaign ad — and
#GameofThrones, with #Hillary2016 an embarrassing 3rd,” writes Gina Cassini
for Top Right News.
Twitter claims it does not censor tweets. “There’s no system expressly
designed to censor communication between individuals,” a former Twitter
engineer told The Verge in November.
Twitter, however, has blocked tweets it considers harassment, specially
along the lines of gender and race, but has yet to block or remove tweets
criticizing political candidates in the United States.
Twitter offers what it calls “promoted trends,” that is to say jacking up
hashtag trending status to partners who have the money.
“Promoted Trends are a perfect way to kickstart a conversation, launch new
products, run major campaigns or target key dates to drive mass awareness,”
the Twitter business website explains.
Hillary Clinton, of course, is not a brand of caffè latte. Artificial
trending skews the political debate and makes it appear she is more popular
than she actually is.
If a critic’s hashtag was indeed removed, this represents a dangerous
development in social media, which now plays an instrumental role in
political campaigns.

Donald Trump jokes that Hillary Clinton asked for a presidential pardon and that he replied he would get back to her "after I get into office."
From Thursday night's Al Smith dinner in New York:
DONALD TRUMP: Even tonight with all of the heated back and forth between my opponent and me at the debate last night we have proven that we can actually be civil to each other.
In fact, just before taking the dais Hillary accidentally bumped into me and she very civilly said, 'Pardon me.'

DONALD TRUMP: And I very politely replied, 'Let me talk to you about that after I get into office.'
