Trump’s Digital Director: Twitter CEO Personally Censored Our Campaign

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Daily Caller:

Gary Coby, director of digital advertising and fundraising for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, is accusing Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey of personally censoring pre-approved advertising campaigns purchased by the eventual president-elect’s team.

 

Coby wrote a lengthy piece on Medium detailing the entire situation.

 

The allegations stem from an “upfront deal” Trump’s campaign signed with Twitter back in August 2016.

 

Coby wrote that the deal “is a common setup where we [committed] to spending a certain amount on advertising and in exchange receives discounts, perks, and custom solutions.”

 

The deal placed a $5 million minimum spending commitment on the Trump campaign but provided “discounts on promoted trends” and “value adds,” including the “custom hashtag emojis” Dorsey and Twitter COO Adam Bain would eventually block from running.

 

According to Coby, the first instance of censorship occurred in September, when he attempted to tweak the design of an emoji already approved to run by Twitter.
