@michaelstrahan The level of disrespect for our Country, our Troops, our Veterans, our Gold Star Families, and all who love this country was clearly evident. Absolutely disgraceful. #FoxSports #ABC #goodmorningamerica #Fox #NBC #CBS

@katiecouric @JonHaidt I’m afraid you’ve turned on a massive segment of the population calling them stupid, envious of liberals etc… Katie issue some sort of retraction. Most liberals are wonderful people and most conservatives are wonderful people! You just came across as an ignorant elite!

@RepAdamSchiff @facebook This is priceless coming from the biggest liar in the history of America Politics! #shiftyschiff #honesty #corruption #cbs #nbc #cnn #abc #msnbc #FoxNews #FoxBusiness

Trump incited an insurrection. And tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power. He’s shown no remorse. No contrition. Giving him back access to a social media platform to spread his lies and demagoguery is dangerous. @facebook caved, giving him a platform to do more harm.

Call the Game! All attention and energy should be devoted to Demar Hamlin. Prayers for this young man!

Good night, everyone. Thanks to all those who picked up the phone in the last few days.

The problem with the "hacked materials" ruling, several sources said, was that this normally required an official/law enforcement finding of a hack. But such a finding never appears throughout what one executive describes as a "whirlwind" 24-hour, company-wide mess.

It's been a whirlwind 96 hours for me, too. There is much more to come, including answers to questions about issues like shadow-banning, boosting, follower counts, the fate of various individual accounts, and more. These issues are not limited to the political right.

There are multiple instances in the files of Dorsey intervening to question suspensions and other moderation actions, for accounts across the political spectrum

36.Twitter files continued: "THE FIRST AMENDMENT ISN’T ABSOLUTE” Szabo’s letter contains chilling passages relaying Democratic lawmakers’ attitudes. They want “more” moderation, and as for the Bill of Rights, it's "not absolute"

35.Szabo reports to Twitter that some Hill figures are characterizing the laptop story as “tech’s Access Hollywood moment”:

34.NetChoice lets Twitter know a “blood bath” awaits in upcoming Hill hearings, with members saying it's a "tipping point," complaining tech has “grown so big that they can’t even regulate themselves, so government may need to intervene.”

33.Within a day, head of Public Policy Lauren Culbertson receives a ghastly letter/report from Carl Szabo of the research firm NetChoice, which had already polled 12 members of congress – 9 Rs and 3 Democrats, from “the House Judiciary Committee to Rep. Judy Chu’s office.”

32.Khanna tries to reroute the conversation to the First Amendment, mention of which is generally hard to find in the files:

Gadde replies quickly, immediately diving into the weeds of Twitter policy, unaware Khanna is more worried about the Bill of Rights:

30. In one humorous exchange on day 1, Democratic congressman Ro Khanna reaches out to Gadde to gently suggest she hop on the phone to talk about the “backlash re speech.” Khanna was the only Democratic official I could find in the files who expressed concern.

29. A fundamental problem with tech companies and content moderation: many people in charge of speech know/care little about speech, and have to be told the basics by outsiders. To wit:

28. To which former Deputy General Counsel Jim Baker again seems to advise staying the non-course, because “caution is warranted”:

27. Former VP of Global Comms Brandon Borrman asks, “Can we truthfully claim that this is part of the policy?”
