Twitter's former safety chief says censoring Hunter Biden story was a mistake
Yoel Roth boasted about content moderation but then said, "We didn’t know what to believe, we didn’t know what was true… there was… there was smoke."
Yoel Roth, Twitter's chief of safety and trust until Elon Musk arrived at the company, spoke out against the company in an interview at the Knight Foundation. Roth left Twitter due to disagreements regarding Musk's vision for the social network. In the interview, the former executive said that after his departure, the company is no longer safe. This is the headline for the Reuters story that published information about the interview:
Eva Fox, a journalist who reports on the Musk's activities, responded to Reuters:
Elon Musk chimed in, mentioning that during Yoel Roth's tenure, Twitter interfered with an election.
Yoel Roth acknowledges that Twitter interfered in the election and that withholding information about Hunter Biden's laptop from voters "was a mistake." Roth acknowledges the mistake shortly before Elon Musk's Twitter feed to make public the reasons that were alleged within the company for withholding that information.
The information in the New York Post was correct. Some of the press has been slow for years to recognize it, but there is no doubt. On the other hand, four out of five Americans believe Donald Trump would have won the election if the FBI had investigated the case.
