There is a connection, a subtle one.  Clinton has a lot of powerful friends. Twitter is such a good friend, that they are censoring any anti Clinton tweet they find, thanks to the trust and safety council. Clinton was also no the board of directors for wallmart.  These crony relationships are what caused gamergate to happen in the first place. It was bad when games journalist distort the truth to help their friends and make money, and it is bad when social media and big business do the same. We can not excuse one and not the other.
