Twitter head of "site integrity"

Meet Yoel Roth, Twitter's "head of site integrity."
According to Heavy, Roth is behind Twitter's controversial fact-checking initiative that on Wednesday targeted one of President Donald Trump's tweets blasting mail-in ballots over possible election fraud. The tweet soon got slapped with a fact-check link as Twitter viewed it as misleading.
In response, Trump said Twitter is "now interfering in the 2020 Presidential Election" and "completely stifling FREE SPEECH" and that he "will not allow it to happen!" Trump also threatened to shut down social media over its actions against him.
And wouldn't you know that Roth appears to be rabidly anti-Trump?
Roth — who began working for Twitter as an intern in 2014 — tweeted in September 2016 that "I've never donated to a presidential campaign before, but I just gave $100 to Hillary for America. We can't f*** around anymore."
On Election Day 2016, he tweeted, "I'm just saying, we fly over those states that voted for a racist tangerine for a reason."
Two days after Trump's inauguration, Roth tweeted that there are "actual Nazis in the White House" and in another tweet compared Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway to "Joseph Goebbels."
Later in 2017, he called Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell a "personality-free bag of farts."
Conway blasted Roth during a Wednesday interview on "Fox & Friends" — and even gave out his public Twitter handle during the live segment: "This guy is constantly attacking Trump voters, Trump, Mitch McConnell, you name it. And he's the head of integrity at Twitter ... It's just horrible the way he looks at people who should otherwise have a free and clear platform on Twitter."
When he was a doctoral student at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, Roth said on video that "most of my interests are about the construction of gay masculinity" and "how things like masculinity are constructed both in and through technology."

They might as well fire this guy and save their money, because Twitter doesn't have any integrity.

I have no idea how you all dress yourself everyday without melting over something.

Not that I needed proof, but this guy is a complete idiot who knows nothing about actual Nazis.
