I've just seen a tweet about an IOF soldier harassing a person (family?) and telling them that this is his land, and before I could see more it just removed it right in front of me, and this isn't the first time an anti-Israel tweet has been removed from my home page right in front of me.

I know it also removes tweets I may not be interested in (no idea how it gauges that to be honest), but considering I check on anti-Israel content all the time, this absolutely would not fall under that; additionally people I'm actually FOLLOWING have their tweets disappear from my home page; why are people I'm FOLLOWING having their content be hidden from me?!

I deleted my twitter account last week.

I posted an anti-israel tweet, and after posting the word "israel" had changed to "Russia". That was a step too far for me. How can anything on there be trusted if they are changing tweets after posting?

I don't wanna accuse you of lying but... what? I struggle to believe that. I scroll through twitter for way too long each day and I have never heard or seen of that happening, surely you're not the only person who that would've happened to. Seriously, my timeline is like 60% anti-Israel posts and if something like this were to happen, people would talk about it. I need to see more cases of this.

I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it myself. It only happened once, but saying that I deactivated my account minutes later in disgust so I couldn't see it again.

If it happened to everyone all the time then it would be soon be all over the news, but a few selected cases here and there to discredit accounts. Maybe.

My tweet made absolutely no sense with the switched words so would be easily discounted/made to look like bot activity.

What on earth

Exactly. I knew I had typed it correctly because I always change the capital "I" to a lowercase "i" when typing the name of the temporary entity on my phone.

After posting, the tweet had changed the word to "Russia". You can't trust anything on that platform anymore.
