An anonymous reader writes with the key claim of a story at The Daily Kos:
In a truly egregious move yesterday, Twitter suspended the account responsible for #WhichHillary, activist @GuerrillaDems. T
witter also removed #WhichHillary from trending status, which is odd, considering the hashtag received more than 450,000 tweets in less than 24 hours.
Twitter now says the suspension of @GuerillaDems was a mistake.
Although this may just be a coincidence, it isn't the first time Twitter has exerted political control.
Many users think it is a demonstrable conflict of interest, in light of Twitter Executive Chairman Omid Kordestani's Sunday, 2/28 fundraiser with Clinton.
The Daily Kos itself offers at least a perfunctory caution that it's unclear "whether it was intentional removal, or algorithmic coincidence."
