Where are you getting your info on this blackout?

Citation - Just went to Twitter account a few minutes ago, all the trends were off for a few minutes - when they came back President Paul had been purged. No way it goes from #1 to off the chart that fast if natural.

 

[rollingpig]

wtf????

 

[braane]

No.

 

[jordie]

Yeah I doubt they blacked it out, sorry.

Trends come and go pretty quickly. If it isn't something being constantly talked about it goes away after 15-30 min.

Why would twitter do something that would damage their traffic? they're a business. a business not threatened by paul winning, if I might add.

 

[bobburn]

No, we should not. An assertion is not evidence.

 

[anewvoice]

yeah, you only trend for so long, I think all the Ron Paul supporters are 1/2 a case into their celebration, tweets are no longer spelled properly.

They do this quite regularly with certain things. Believe what you wish. The reality is it will unfortunately) reduce the number of news stories if past cases are a guide.

You don't know how Twitter works. Everybody ignore this BS.

All you are is a trouble maker on this forum. Yeah, I said it.

When everyone here was saying it was #1, it was only around #5 for me in the US.

No, it's pointless and does nothing to get us votes in SC, FL or NV - keep focused folks!!

Boo! It's a conspiracy.
