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.

So it seems like they tried to ride their rules. Is it illegal for them to apply rules to one person but not for others? I feel like that’s a big no no.

Election interfering
Wonder what his real follower count should have been?
Also explains their blatant amplification of left wing responses on any of his tweets

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.

Yoel Roth was giddy to do the FBI's bidding against Trump

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”).

This is why I'm sending a message to Joe Rogan, asking that he reconsider his decision to not have Trump on the podcast.
This is an historical time we're living in - whether or not you support Trump, you can't ignore him. The information we could get from 3hrs of Trump could be very valuable about the state of our nation right now.

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.

Through all this I see a nothing burger unless they implicate a crime for a federal agency. Even the higher up the execs can and will argue they were within boundaries of their rules to do so. Meh. Private Company.

I can’t stand people like you. The federal government was actively meeting with one of the biggest tech companies in the world to direct them to silence political opposition, yet you come in here without reading a word and say,
“Nothing burger”
Such an intellectual

Would be amazing because Rogan would ask unbiased regular guy questions...an informed regular guy. The problem with corporate media is they ask only approved questions.

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.

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.
