54. PII has multiple meanings, one being “Public Interest Interstitial,” i.e. a covering label applied for “public interest” reasons. The post below also references “proactive V,” i.e. proactive visibility filtering.

55. This is all necessary background to J6. Before the riots, the company was engaged in an inherently insane/impossible project, trying to create an ever-expanding, ostensibly rational set of rules to regulate every conceivable speech situation that might arise between humans.

This project was preposterous yet its leaders were unable to see this, having become infected with groupthing, coming to believe – sincerely – that it was Twitter's responsibility to control, as much as possible, what people could talk about, how often, and with whom.

57. The firm’s executives on day 1 of the January 6th crisis at least tried to pay lip service to its dizzying array of rules. By day 2, they began wavering. By day 3, a million rules were reduced to one: what we say, goes

56. When panic first breaks out on J6 there’s a fair share of WTF-type posts, mixed in with frantic calls for Twitter to start deploying its full arsenal of moderation tools. “What is the right remediation? Do we interstitial the video?” asks one employee, in despair:

Here is an interesting piece from GP about the State Department funding fact checkers. If you pay for work to be done you also influence the work being done.

Man reading through these, they had their own conspiracy theories cooked up.

Any means necessary.

58. Roth groans about Coudrey: “THIS a-hole,” but still seems determined to stick at least superficially to rules, itching to act “if” this “constitutes incitement.”

59. At 2:39 p.m. PST, a comms official asked Roth to confirm or deny a story that they’d restricted Trump’s ability to tweet. Roth says, “We have not.”

60. Minutes later, Roth executed the historic act of “bouncing” Trump, i.e. putting him in timeout. “I hope you… are appropriately CorpSec’d,” says a colleague.

This theme of Policy perhaps being stressed by queries from Communications executives – who themselves have to answer the public’s questions – occasionally appears. Two days later, you see chatter about pulling Comms out of the loop:

I agree it's all shady and what not but still waiting on that boom government telling Twitter to suppress this person. Or really much of any government direction other than vague warnings en policing stuff.

Broham, if a tree falls in the woods and nobody’s around to hear it, does it make a sound??

61. The first company-wide email from Gadde on January 6th announced that 3 Trump tweets had been bounced, but more importantly signaled a determination to use legit “violations” as a guide for any possible permanent suspension:

These assholes are stupid, but not that stupid. They kept messages about their government meetings intentionally vague on Slack. Those convos were either deleted or held by private means.

Basically this is liberal bias not realizing it’s liberal bias but thinking it’s righteous.

Like this whole goddamned world at this point.

Also forgot Schumer told Trump the fbi has a way to get back at you.


quote:

New Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Tuesday that President-elect Donald Trump is “being really dumb” by taking on the intelligence community and its assessments on Russia’s cyber activities. “Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” Schumer told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.


They stole an election.
