Good day all. I’m running behind in my commentary on the Twitter files. I recently posted my comments on Part 4 of the Twitter files. This concerned the internal debate regarding banning the Greatest President of the 21st Century, Donald Trump, and showed that Twitter version 1.0 did this in violation of their own policies.
Last week, December 12th, Bari Weiss released part 5 of the Twitter files. This batch showed that there were people inside Twitter who didn’t think that President Trump had violated any of Twitters phony baloney policies. Here are the details from Fox News:
The fifth installment of Elon Musk’s “Twitter Files” Monday revealed that staffers believed that tweets written by former President Donald Trump around the events of Jan. 6, 2021, had not actually violated its policies despite the company saying so at the time.
“For years, Twitter had resisted calls both internal and external to ban Trump on the grounds that blocking a world leader from the platform or removing their controversial tweets would hide important information that people should be able to see and debate,” Bari Weiss of The Free Press wrote toward the beginning of her thread on Monday. “But after January 6, as @mtaibbi and @shellenbergermd have documented, pressure grew, both inside and outside of Twitter, to ban Trump.”
Weiss cited “dissenters” within Twitter that did not want to ban Trump, including one who wrote, “Maybe because I am from China. I deeply understand how censorship can destroy the public conversation.”
The person who is from China, (I wonder if he/she was let go or is still at Twitter. He/She sounds like the type of person that Elon Musk would want to keep. Sadly, people with this viewpoint were outnumbered by the Trump haters.
“But voices like that one appear to have been a distinct minority within the company. Across Slack channels, many Twitter employees were upset that Trump hadn’t been banned earlier,” Weiss wrote. “After January 6, Twitter employees organized to demand their employer ban Trump. ‘There is a lot of employee advocacy happening,’ said one Twitter employee.”
This is a problem with a lot of “Woke” companies. It’s one thing for management to ask an opinion, it’s another when the employees make demands, especially demands that are political in nature and could be seen as a violation of the law, the Constitution, the internal policies and flat out common sense. However, the precious snowflakes, sitting under their wall of participation trophies, think they’re the one’s in charge. Most well run companies will, depending on the circumstances, tell them to get back to work or just fire them. (Musk has done both)
“I think we’d have a hard time saying this is incitement,” a staffer said, according to Weiss. “It’s pretty clear he’s saying the ‘American Patriots’ are the ones who voted for him and not the terrorists (we can call them that, right?) from Wednesday.”
“Don’t see the incitement angle here,” another staffer agreed, per Weiss.
That was due to President Trump not inciting anyone to do anything illegal or violent. Prior to the January 6th Protest, President Trump offered the City national guard troops to help with security. Both the Mayor and San Fran Nan Pelosi flat out refused. (Makes one wonder if they knew that there were agents provocateur among the crowds)
It made no difference to the Progressive Moonbats running Twitter. They hated President Trump. They hated what he stood for, They hated people who supported him, and they hate everything about the United States of America. (They’re just to gutless to leave and go to a country better suited to their outlook)
To provide context about the historic nature of Trump’s ban from Twitter, Weiss revisited tweets from controversial world leaders who were allowed to remain on the platform, like Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who in 2018 wrote, “#Israel is a malignant cancerous tumor in the West Asian region that has to be removed and eradicated: it is possible and it will happen.” He faced zero consequences.
Of course Khamenei faced no consequences. The anti-Semitic CommuNazis then employed at Twitter fully agreed with him.
Twitter deleted a 2020 tweet from Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, who said it was “a right” for Muslims to “kill millions of French people,” and said that the tweet “glorifies violence,” but the leader remained on the platform. Twitter gave similar treatment to Nigeria President Muhammadu Buhari.
Are we beginning to see a pattern developing here?
“Less than 90 minutes after Twitter employees had determined that Trump’s tweets were not in violation of Twitter policy, Vijaya Gadde—Twitter’s Head of Legal, Policy, and Trust—asked whether it could, in fact, be ‘coded incitement to further violence,’” Weiss reported. “A few minutes later, Twitter employees on the ‘scaled enforcement team’ suggest that Trump’s tweet may have violated Twitter’s Glorification of Violence policy—if you interpreted the phrase ‘American Patriots’ to refer to the rioters.”
“Things escalate from there,” Weiss continued. “Members of that team came to ‘view him as the leader of a terrorist group responsible for violence/deaths comparable to Christchurch shooter or Hitler and on that basis and on the totality of his Tweets, he should be de-platformed.’
What the Twitter Files are showing was the deep seated contempt for most of America. President Trump’s platform of “Make America Great Again,” was designed to undo all the damage done to the United States since Ronald Reagan left office.
Weiss then highlighted the 30-minute all-staff meeting led by Dorsey and Gadde, who were confronted by staffers about why Trump had not been banned.
Yoel Roth, Twitter’s then-head of Trust and Safety, wrote to a colleague, “Multiple tweeps [Twitter employees] have quoted the Banality of Evil suggesting that people implementing our policies are like Nazis following orders.”
Well, Aren’t you? You certainly acted that way, and let’s not forget your comments accusing the Republicans and President Trump of being Nazis.
After Dorsey had requested simpler language to explain why Trump would be banned, Roth reacted to staffers, “[G]od help us [this] makes me think he wants to share it publicly.”
“One hour later, Twitter announces Trump’s permanent suspension ‘due to the risk of further incitement of violence.’ Many at Twitter were ecstatic,” Weiss wrote, sharing communications from staffers celebrating the Trump ban.
These clods soon became drunk with power, and quickly turned their Orwellian sights on anyone who went against the Progressive narratives.
The Trump ban appeared to immediately inspire a crackdown on “medical misinformation,” with Weiss reporting that the next day a renewed push by the tech giant, according to internal communications. She quoted one staffer who said, “For the longest time, Twitter’s stance was that we aren’t the arbiter of truth, which I respected but never gave me a warm fuzzy feeling.”
“But Twitter’s COO Parag Agrawal—who would later succeed Dorsey as CEO—told Head of Security Mudge Zatko: ‘I think a few of us should brainstorm the ripple effects’ of Trump’s ban.’ Agrawal added: ‘centralized content moderation IMO has reached a breaking point now,’” Weiss reported.
Weiss concluded her thread, “Ultimately, the concerns about Twitter’s efforts to censor news about Hunter Biden’s laptop, blacklist disfavored views, and ban a president aren’t about the past choices of executives in a social media company. They’re about the power of a handful of people at a private company to influence the public discourse and democracy.”
The suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story, along with the suppression of anything Coronavirus related that didn’t back the CDC, WHO and Anthony Fauci’s statements may have crossed lines into actual criminal actions. We now know that the information on the Laptop is valid, and anyone who reviewed it could see it wasn’t “Russian disinformation.”
The suppression of the laptop story alone could be seen to be an in kind political contribution, and potentially flat out interference in the 2020 election. When people started questioning the results and showing potential evidence, they were quickly banned from Twitter and their information suppressed.
With the suppression of anything that didn’t follow the Covid-19 narratives, there is a fair possibility that people may have died as a result. All of the tweets that were censored are now proving to be accurate.
The fallout from the first 5 entries of the Twitter Files is reaching into Congress. The House of Representatives, now coming into Republican control, are going to start digging into what the Twitter files and Elon Musk have been releasing to the General Public. It’s looking like previous testimony by Jack Dorsey and others to Congress may have been outright lies. Stay tuned!
