Subject: Re: Biden Made A Reelection Ad
Dope1:
We already went over this in another thread (here: https://www.shrewdm.com/MB?pid...). The White House simply asking Twitter or Facebook to review content that violates each organization's TOS or that it thinks spreads lies or propaganda is not working "with social media companies to crack down on speech they don't like". Clearly, the White House wrote: Please take whatever actions, if any, you deem appropriate.
And the "Twitter Files" demonstrated that, far from working to censor pro-Trump sentiment in the days before the Capitol riot, the company's leaders were intent on leaving it up ' despite internal warnings that trouble was brewing.
But the records reveal a company that fought until the end to give some of Trump's most belligerent supporters the benefit of the doubt, even as its internal teams faced an overwhelming volume of tweets threatening retribution in line with Trump's lies that the election had been stolen.
They also show that Twitter's leaders were reluctant to take action against Trump's account two days after the insurrection, even as lawyers inside the company argued that his continued praise of the Capitol rioters amounted to 'glorification of violence,' an offense punishable then by suspension under Twitter's rules.
