Twitter's former head of trust and safety joined others associated with the company who have zinged the censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story as a mistake.
Yoel Roth, who stepped down from the post amid Elon Musk's ascension to"Chief Twit" despite initially being embraced by the new leader, stressed that Big Tech was on edge over foreign election interference campaigns and emphasized the decision to suppress but not remove the laptop story was not his.
At the time, a cacophony of former and current intelligence officials cautioned that the laptop hard drive could have been misinformation from a foreign power such as Russia. In the time since, several media outlets, such as the Washington Examiner, have corroborated material on the hard drive. Twitter co-founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey has since admitted that the censorship was a"total mistake." He also recently appeared to suggest the company's approach to COVID-19 misinformation"wasn't the right policy."— jack November 29, 2022 Current CEO Musk has said Twitter's handling of the laptop saga was “obviously incredibly inappropriate” and has stated that the company should publicly divulge more details about how that decision came to fruition.
“People are not sitting still,” Roth added of Musk's lax approach to content moderation, according to CNN. “They are actively devising new ways to be horrible on the internet.”Responding to Roth's criticisms, Musk argued the company has"failed in trust & safety" and previously interfered in elections.
