It's significant in that this is so much bigger than the DNC. It's the RNC, Canada, England, Israel, etc. Focusing on the DNC is like blaming a corner boy for global drug trafficking.
Obama's Arab Spring was what I was about to bring up. At the time, it was portrayed as such a great thing, and I even saw some college textbooks touting it as an example of how social media can be used to help improve society.
Now that the dust has settled, though, it was obviously a horrible thing. Even ignoring the Muslim Migration Crisis it helped trip off (which is terrible in and of itself, though many on the left tout it as a good thing), just look at the results in the Arab countries:
It spawned ISIS - enough said there.
Syrian civil war has been going on for over a decade now
Egypt had a military coup, and has been having Islamic groups launching occasional terror attacks to this day
In Libya, they kicked out Qaddafi (which, I'm increasingly convinced was the whole reason Obama and Killary instigated the Arab Spring), then had a half decade of civil war and still have violent protests going on
And probably more bad stuff in other countries. By any sane metric, the Arab Spring was a huge mistake.
Maybe Elon Musk can get the US Government to pay him $1 billion to boost some Ukraine hashtags. Turn the company profitable pretty quick. It's not manipulation, it's advertising. lol. Same shit google does.
But OP is misrepresenting the quote. Nothing in the quote says "artificially boost hashtags" or anything like that. All it says is Twitter as a platform, no interference at all, merely by existing, helps provide a platform for independent journalism. It does.
This is them admitting to using company resources to conduct donations in kind to the DNC. Whoops.
This is work for globohomo, not the DNC. They did the same thing with the Arab Spring.
Potato, potato. The DNC is globohomo and globohomo is the DNC. There is no meaningful distinction between any facet of the enemy.

That's exactly the point. When dealing with a global conspiracy, they're all equally guilty, part and parcel.
But it's not illegal to push foreign organizations. It is illegal to campaign for the DNC without disclosure of a donation.
The only people that could possibly punish that are in the RNC, and they want those twats doing it just as much if not more.
Of course they won't punish it. As I said to the other guy, the use here is to fire them for cause.
Ah, I wasn't picking up on that.
Poor choice of words, Mr. Open Border. Your "boy on the corner" is the current Resident Joe Biden.
You must be new here.
Let me guess..you're a "pretty big deal here..." (LOL) right?
No, you guessed my politics extremely poorly.

Syrian civil war has been going on for over a decade now
Yemen still has a civil war ongoing too, with the US sill actively providing support to the Saudis intervening in it
Egypt had a military coup, and has been having Islamic groups launching occasional terror attacks to this day

They did all of that intentionally. They knew the consequences of their actions which is why they did them.
Given that the DNC would have to suddenly report about a trillion dollars of effective donations, that won't happen.
It does however create a situation wherein most of Twitter's employees can now be fired for cause.
My favorite part is how they pretend we don't exist by saying that firing them would "undermine our users' and customers' trust in our platform."
"But if we don't tell our users what to think, how will they be brainwashed into trusting us?"
It's nice that they admit the reasons they're being fired, and complain while doing it.
It's not independent journalism if you're helping to prop it up.
It's not a social movement if you're the reason it keeps going.
This should be real easy to understand, and yet, here we are.
if those things were important, they'd trend without your help.

Ok, except twitter is going to keep existing once these people are fired. The implication of no more curation once they're fired is clear as day.
I'm honestly not sure what those people do. I doubt they're jannies. They probably just sip lattes and play foosball all day in the HQ resort.
My god, maybe we might get the truth and it will end the Ukraine bullshit.
While there is nothing wrong with freedom in Iran as that country is an Islamic dictatorship, it should be a trend that appears naturally.
