☆ Released Twitter emails show how employees debated how to handle 2020 New York Post Hunter Biden story
  + stars: | 2022-12-02 | by ( Brian Fung | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
It showed employees on Twitter’s legal, policy and communications teams debating – and at times disagreeing – over whether to restrict the article under the company’s hacked materials policy, weeks before the 2020 election, where Joe Biden, Hunter Biden’s father, ran against then-President Donald Trump. The Taibbi posts undercut a top claim by Musk and Republicans, who have accused the FBI of leaning on social media companies to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop stories. The tweet thread also highlighted how officials from both political parties routinely wrote to Twitter asking for specific tweets to be removed. A CNN review of those tweets on an archive site showed some purported photos of Hunter Biden, including nudity, that may have violated Twitter policy. He also did not say that Democrats requested that Twitter suppress the Post story, and his account did not suggest that the US government had ever pressured Twitter to suppress the story.

Elon Musk says he's releasing details on Twitter's "suppression" of a story about Hunter Biden's laptop. ET on what he says was Twitter's "suppression" of a controversial story about Hunter Biden's laptop before the 2020 election when the site was under different ownership.

No evidence to date has suggested that Hunter Biden's work influenced his father's policy decisions.

The former head of trust and safety at Twitter said Twitter mishandled the Hunter Biden laptop story. Some came to blame Roth specifically for censoring the story, a charge he denied in the interview with Swisher. "Ultimately for me, it didn't reach a place where I was comfortable removing this content from Twitter." Musk, who took ownership of Twitter in a $44-billion deal last month, has suggested he will release details about Twitter's decision-making regarding the laptop. In response to a tweet requesting Musk "make public all internal decisions" about censoring the laptop story, Musk replied on November 23: "This is necessary to restore public trust."
☆ Twitter is less safe due to Elon Musk’s management style, says former top official
  + stars: | 2022-11-29 | by ( Brian Fung | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +9 min
CNN Business —Twitter owner Elon Musk’s dictatorial management style risks driving the company headlong into unforced business blunders, content moderation disasters and the degradation of core platform features that help keep vulnerable users safe, according to a former top Twitter official who led the company’s content moderation before abruptly resigning this month. For two weeks after Musk closed his purchase of Twitter, Roth presented himself as a voice of stability and calm at the center of a company undergoing dramatic change. Roth knew that by remaining at the company, Musk was using him to help keep advertisers from abandoning the platform. In a subsequent New York Times op-ed, Roth said his reason for leaving came down to Musk’s highly personal and improvisational approach to content moderation. Before Musk took over Twitter, Roth wrote down several commitments to himself that would trigger the decision to quit.
☆ Sunset for Trump and His Foes?

Also because many of the things Trumpists legitimately complain about aren’t illegal and don’t amount to vote fraud. CIA veterans and the media lying about the authenticity of the Hunter Biden laptop isn’t vote fraud. State voting rules being changed through dubious procedures isn’t vote fraud and doesn’t invalidate votes cast in good faith. The appeal of “rigged” to Donald Trump is obvious—it lets him continue to command the airwaves rather than concede and disappear as losing candidates usually do. Oh wait I wrote these words in 2016 when he was losing to Hillary Clinton .

“I have more steak knives in my back from Republicans that have turned on us and stepped on us for their own benefit,” Nevada GOP Party Chair Michael McDonald said at a recent event in Reno. In 2020, Biden carried Nevada by just more than 33,000 votes via a similar path of winning Clark and Washoe counties. "The Republican Party has lost its mind," Cashell said. “Here in Washoe County, we have made it abundantly clear that if you as a Republican damage the Republican brand, there are consequences,” Washoe County GOP Chair Bruce Parks said in an interview. The county, as well as other Republican county organizations in Nevada have formally censured Republicans, like former GOP party chair Amy Tarkanian, after she endorsed two Democrats in Tuesday’s election.

But too many people didn’t agree when questions around Hunter Biden arose in the last campaign. If anything, the rush to dismiss the early Hunter Biden coverage left rumors to fester. Hunter Biden was also paid by a bank that benefited from his father’s work on personal bankruptcy legislation in the Senate. But after his father entered the White House, Hunter Biden began selling his paintings at prices as high as $500,000 per item. But it’s still worth getting to the bottom of the Hunter Biden drama.

☆ Senate Republicans seek special counsel authority for prosecutor in Hunter Biden criminal probe
  + stars: | 2022-09-19 | by ( Dan Mangan | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
Hunter Biden looks on during the annual Easter Egg Roll on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, April 18, 2022. More than 30 Senate Republicans asked Attorney General Merrick Garland on Monday to give the federal prosecutor who has been investigating Hunter Biden for several years "special counsel protections and authorities." Giving U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss special counsel authority would also "provide additional assurances to the American people that the Hunter Biden investigation is free from political influence," the letter argued. Hunter Biden disclosed the existence of the criminal probe in late 2020, shortly after his father was elected president. Hunter Biden has not been charged with any of those crimes, and it is not clear if he will ever be charged.
