Kim said he is not concerned about Russian meddling in US elections
Kim Dotcom has called out the ‘deep state’ for attempting to meddle the US elections using Twitter and Facebook, warning that they do ‘100 times’ more damage to democracy than all foreign meddlers put together.
Kim said he is not concerned about Russian meddling in US elections, but more concerned about Deep State social media companies planning to rig elections for Democrats.
“I wouldn’t be concerned about Russian meddling in US elections,” Dotcom wrote on Twitter.
“Be concerned about Deep State social media companies like Facebook and Twitter meddling in US elections.”
RT reports: Zuckerspy and Jack the Ripper are doing 100 times more harm to democracy than all foreign meddlers combined.
The MegaUpload founder went on to accuse Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter’s Jack Dorsey of doing “100 times more harm to democracy than all foreign meddlers combined,” and anointed the pair with catchy nicknames, “Zuckerspy and Jack the Ripper.”
Dotcom’s harsh words for the social media giants come in the midst of reports that Twitter is using shadowbanning to help Democratic candidates over Republicans.
Shadowbanning is a technique employed by Twitter to prevent a user from reaching its full audience. In many cases, an account’s content will be unable to be retweeted, and the reach of tweets are severely limited.

We caught a Twitter software engineer RED HANDED when he admitted that Twitter #ShadowBans to our undercover journalist. Twitter will never admit it: “it’s a lot of bad press if, like, people figure out that you’re like shadow banning them. It’s like, unethical in some way.” pic.twitter.com/MmBGKohWLj

The fallout for Twitter is just beginning. Launching a real Twitter competitor with innovations that empower the user and protect free speech would be a big hit. Everything I ever created had over 100 million users. This could launch in a year. It’s a no-brainer. Want to invest?

Do you want @jack to end Twitter censorship and shadowbanning?

The company recently responded to the accusations, claiming they don’t shadowban, despite the fact that a January undercover report from Project Veritas showed a Twitter employee saying the opposite.

Dotcom, who is involved in campaigning for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, is among those to report their tweets on the topic are not being seen by the expected number of people.
Dotcom also took aim at Microsoft, Apple and Alphabet, Google’s parent company, saying they are “the worst of all deep State collaborators” because they “contain the most backdoors, they supply the most data and technology to the Deep State making spying on all of us easier.”
