Leaked Jan. 6 Committee Report Exposes Twitter’s Post-Insurrection Chaos

Company employees lashed out at leadership over an ad hoc content moderation policy that they blamed for enabling Donald Trump's insurrection

Both committee staff and former employees who gave depositions singled out former Twitter Vice President for Trust & Safety Del Harvey as an obstacle to tougher enforcement against election-related extremism in the run-up to the insurrection. Harvey, the 120-page summary concludes, “personally obstructed” the creation of a coded incitement to violence policy drafted by Twitter Safety employees in the months before the insurrection. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/jan6-twitter-trump-elon-musk-capitol-attack-1234655022/
