Twitter Files Part 5: Trump banned although employees said he didn’t violate Twitter policy

Trump: Bitcoin ‘seems like a scam’ and should be regulated ‘very very high’
Share Share Share Share Send as Email

The fifth installment of Twitter Files published on Monday by Bari Weiss, showed that Twitter staffers believed that the tweets of former President Donald Trump around the events of January 6 had not violated its policies despite the company claiming such at the time.

“For years, Twitter had resisted calls both internal and external to ban Trump on the grounds that blocking a world leader from the platform or removing their controversial tweets would hide important information that people should be able to see and debate,” Bari Weiss of The Free Press wrote at the beginning of publication on Monday.

“But after January 6, as  @mtaibbi  and  @shellenbergermd have documented, pressure grew, both inside and outside of Twitter, to ban Trump.”

According to Weiss, there were dissenters inside Twitter that do want Trump to be banned with one writing, “Maybe because I am from China,” said one employee on January 7, “I deeply understand how censorship can destroy the public conversation.”

“But voices like that one appear to have been a distinct minority within the company. Across Slack channels, many Twitter employees were upset that Trump hadn’t been banned earlier,” she wrote.

“After January 6, Twitter employees organized to demand their employer ban Trump. “There is a lot of employee advocacy happening,” said one Twitter employee.”

“But the Twitter staff assigned to evaluate tweets quickly concluded that Trump had *not* violated Twitter’s policies. “I think we’d have a hard time saying this is incitement,” wrote one staffer.”

“It’s pretty clear he’s saying the ‘American Patriots’ are the ones who voted for him and not the terrorists (we can call them that, right?) from Wednesday.”

Another staffer agreed: “Don’t see the incitement angle here.”

“I also am not seeing clear or coded incitement in the DJT tweet,” wrote Anika Navaroli, a Twitter policy official. “I’ll respond in the elections channel and say that our team has assessed and found no vios”—or violations—“for the DJT one.”

She does just that: “as an fyi, Safety has assessed the DJT Tweet above and determined that there is no violation of our policies at this time.”

Later, Navaroli would testify to the House Jan. 6 committee: “For months I had been begging and anticipating and attempting to raise the reality that if nothing—if we made no intervention into what I saw occuring, people were going to die.”)

“Next, Twitter’s safety team decides that Trump’s 7:44 am ET tweet is also not in violation. They are unequivocal: “it’s a clear no vio. It’s just to say he’s not attending the inauguration”

— Bari Weiss (@bariweiss) December 12, 2022

Weiss revisited tweets from controversial world leaders who were allowed to remain on the social media platform, like Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who wrote in June 2018, “#Israel is a malignant cancerous tumor in the West Asian region that has to be removed and eradicated: it is possible and it will happen.”

Twitter neither deleted the tweet nor banned the Ayatollah, there was zero consequences.

In October 2020, the former Malaysian Prime Minister tweeted it was “a right” for Muslims to “kill millions of French people.”

Twitter deleted his tweet for “glorifying violence,” but he remains on the platform.

Weiss also cited President Muhammadu Buhari’s tweet which was deleted by Twitter.

“Muhammadu Buhari, the President of Nigeria, incited violence against pro-Biafra groups.“Those of us in the fields for 30 months, who went through the war,” he wrote, “will treat them in the language they understand.” Twitter deleted the tweet but didn’t ban Buhari.”

— Bari Weiss (@bariweiss) December 12, 2022

Weiss went on to reveal that less than 90 minutes after Twitter employees had determined that Trump’s tweets were not in violation of Twitter policy, Vijaya Gadde—Twitter’s Head of Legal, Policy, and Trust—asked whether it could, in fact, be “coded incitement to further violence.”

— Bari Weiss (@bariweiss) December 12, 2022

“A few minutes later, Twitter employees on the “scaled enforcement team” suggest that Trump’s tweet may have violated Twitter’s Glorification of Violence policy—if you interpreted the phrase “American Patriots” to refer to the rioters.”

“Things escalate from there. Members of that team came to “view him as the leader of a terrorist group responsible for violence/deaths comparable to Christchurch shooter or Hitler and on that basis and on the totality of his Tweets, he should be de-platformed.”

“Dorsey requested simpler language to explain Trump’s suspension. Roth wrote, “god help us [this] makes me think he wants to share it publicly”

“One hour later, Twitter announces Trump’s permanent suspension “due to the risk of further incitement of violence.”

32. One hour later, Twitter announces Trump’s permanent suspension “due to the risk of further incitement of violence.”
