1. THREAD: The Twitter Files THE REMOVAL OF DONALD TRUMP Part One: October 2020-January 6th
2. The world knows much of the story of what happened between riots at the Capitol on January 6th, and the removal of President Donald Trump from Twitter on January 8th...
3. We’ll show you what hasn’t been revealed: the erosion of standards within the company in months before J6, decisions by high-ranking executives to violate their own policies, and more, against the backdrop of ongoing, documented interaction with federal agencies.
4. This first installment covers the period before the election through January 6th. Tomorrow,@Shellenbergermd will detail the chaos inside Twitter on January 7th. On Sunday,@BariWeiss will reveal the secret internal communications from the key date of January 8th.

More is dropping. Discuss!

 

5. Whatever your opinion on the decision to remove Trump that day, the internal communications at Twitter between January 6th-January 8th have clear historical import. Even Twitter’s employees understood in the moment it was a landmark moment in the annals of speech.



6. As soon as they finished banning Trump, Twitter execs started processing new power. They prepared to ban future presidents and White Houses – perhaps even Joe Biden. The “new administration,” says one exec, “will not be suspended by Twitter unless absolutely necessary.”

 

7. Twitter executives removed Trump in part over what one executive called the “context surrounding”: actions by Trump and supporters “over the course of the election and frankly last 4+ years.” In the end, they looked at a broad picture. But that approach can cut both ways.

8. The bulk of the internal debate leading to Trump’s ban took place in those three January days. However, the intellectual framework was laid in the months preceding the Capitol riots.

 

Twitter has TOS? This is groundbreaking!

 

Every Social Media company need to hurry up and follow suit!!

 

You know, I may have been wrong on something. I long claimed that trump was the most petty person ever. However, upon releasing these seemingly nothingburger sort of things, as Musk is doing, to support his contentions may perhaps make him the most petty person ever.

 

Do you know what petty means? What exactly is trivial about banning heads of state?

Elon, please ban all Democrat leaders from the platform. They think it's a trivial matter so they obviously won't care. Thanks

 

I give up. What is trivial about banning heads of state?

 

Musk doesn't have a good sense of timing. Dropping these on Friday night makes it easy for the MSM to ignore them.

 

Which head of state was banned?

 

Are you seriously asking me because you do not know?

 

Malignant Narcissism is alive and well, in this case, in America.

 

9. Before J6, Twitter was a unique mix of automated, rules-based enforcement, and more subjective moderation by senior executives. As @BariWeiss reported, the firm had a vast array of tools for manipulating visibility, most all of which were thrown at Trump (and others) pre-J6.
10. As the election approached, senior executives – perhaps under pressure from federal agencies, with whom they met more as time progressed – increasingly struggled with rules, and began to speak of “vios” as pretexts to do what they’d likely have done anyway.
11. After J6, internal Slacks show Twitter executives getting a kick out of intensified relationships with federal agencies. Here’s Trust and Safety head Yoel Roth, lamenting a lack of “generic enough” calendar descriptions to concealing his “very interesting” meeting partners.

12. These initial reports are based on searches for docs linked to prominent executives, whose names are already public. They include Roth, former trust and policy chief Vijaya Gadde, and recently plank-walked Deputy General Counsel (and former top FBI lawyer) Jim Baker.
13. One particular slack channel offers an unique window into the evolving thinking of top officials in late 2020 and early 2021.
14. On October 8th, 2020, executives opened a channel called “us2020_xfn_enforcement.” Through J6, this would be home for discussions about election-related removals, especially ones that involved “high-profile” accounts (often called “VITs” or “Very Important Tweeters”).

15. There was at least some tension between Safety Operations – a larger department whose staffers used a more rules-based process for addressing issues like porn, scams, and threats – and a smaller, more powerful cadre of senior policy execs like Roth and Gadde.
16. The latter group were a high-speed Supreme Court of moderation, issuing content rulings on the fly, often in minutes and based on guesses, gut calls, even Google searches, even in cases involving the President.

 

I know an ex head of state who got banned, but not while head of state.

 

Musk is just trying to bolster traffic.

 

Wow! Twitter Has a TOS???
Does PF have a TOS?
This is Groundbreaking Stuff!
Just Woke Up Granny, Told the Kids, and Let My Dog Out!

 

I Know!
A TOS for a Social Media Site!
This is the Most Groundbreaking Development since the Invention of the Wheel...!!!

 

17. During this time, executives were also clearly liaising with federal enforcement and intelligence agencies about moderation of election-related content. While we’re still at the start of reviewing the #TwitterFiles, we’re finding out more about these interactions every day.
18. Policy Director Nick Pickles is asked if they should say Twitter detects “misinfo” through “ML, human review, and **partnerships with outside experts?*” The employee asks, “I know that’s been a slippery process… not sure if you want our public explanation to hang on that.”

19. Pickles quickly asks if they could “just say “partnerships.” After a pause, he says, “e.g. not sure we’d describe the FBI/DHS as experts.”

 

20. This post about the Hunter Biden laptop situation shows that Roth not only met weekly with the FBI and DHS, but with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI):

21. Roth’s report to FBI/DHS/DNI is almost farcical in its self-flagellating tone: “We blocked the NYP story, then unblocked it (but said the opposite)… comms is angry, reporters think we’re idiots… in short, FML” (**** my life)

 

We need Musk to buy the federal government and expose their past 50 years of crimes.

 

Derailing. That isn't the discussion.

More derailing. Do you ever actually address a post topic?

Perhaps you being asked sarcastically just to see if you ever make an actual point.

Trump was banned while he was the sitting president.

This is the crux of the matter and I wish they would really zero in on this point. Elements of the FBI and DOJ were meeting with social media companies WEEKLY to demand they engage in censorship as actors for the state and they were putting their thumb on the scale of a national election. They didn't stop or start with the Hunter Biden laptop. They are lawless organizations who are a threat to our democracy. With Biden as president they are literally akin to a state sponsored terrorist force who have had agents embedded in an array of false flag operations to manipulate and control both elections and public perception. They must be stopped.

 

I would like to see the names of all of the officials in the government that were meeting with Big Tech and who they were taking direction from. How high did it go? Who was giving the orders?

 

They dropped 67 total tweets with another batch coming tomorrow or Sunday. I am shocked the DOJ hasn't arrested Musk yet or framed for some sort of a crime. But I am pretty sure they are devising another Steele Dossier or Russian Collusion Alfa bank hoax again.

 

THE TWITTER FILES: The Removal Of Donald Trump, Part 1

Behind the curtain...

Can they say that government was telling them to censor Trump?



How about we just call them "Partnerships with experts?"



Can't just admit that it was the dirtbag FBI?

Admit to weekly meetings with FBI while they were blocking the Hunter Laptop Story by claiming it was a Russian Hack

 

If so, it's a brilliant marketing strategy. Meanwhile, more are returning to Twitter than leaving because Elon is making Twitter great again; (MTGA).
