#Pizzagate & #Twittergate hashtags blocked?
I am no expert on how Twitter works, but it seems to me that they have blocked search results for #twittergate and #pizzagate.
Results for both keywords have the latest at 11 hours ago. https://twitter.com/hashtag/pizzagate?src=hash
https://twitter.com/hashtag/twittergate?src=hash
Can someone confirm or tell me what I do wrong?

Dude, twitter has been blocking our hashtags since #spiritcooking pre election. Twitter is literally working to keep this stuff under wraps.

Since GamerGate they've been blocking anti-establishment hashtags.

GamerGate? Jesus how many of these things are there? What happened with that one?

GamerGate was (it still exists but it's much less active) a campaign to stop left-wing ideologues and paid reviewers from dominating gaming journalism and policing what can and cannot be in video games. Over time, it spread outside of gaming journalism to journalism in general. It was much less serious, and only tangentially related to Pizzagate.

Try switching to "latest" toward the top, or this URL
https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=%23pizzagate%2C%20OR%20%23twittergate%2C%20include%3Aretweets&src=typd
They're definitely trying to keep it quiet.

OK, thanks. I wasn't sure as I don't own a Twitter account. Man, that behavior is so deceitful. Shame on them.
