The House Oversight Committee is holding a hearing with Twitter executives today. Vijaya Gadde, Yoel Roth, and at least two other former Twitter big shots sat and answered questions of lawmakers. Gadde was reportedly one of the final deciding voices in banning former President Donald Trump in 2021.
The hearing is ongoing. Some notable moments so far have shown that former Twitter lawyer James Baker and Gadde appear to be biding time and answering tough questions vaguely in our view and opinion.
U.S. House Republicans included in the questioning included Tim Burchett (TN) Paul Gosar (AZ) and Jim Jordan (OH) to name a few.
From our newsworthy clips posted to Twitter:
“Vijaya Gadde Appears to Waste Time and Answers Questions Vaguely when Confronted About Shadow Banning and ‘Visibility Filtering’”
“Twitter Former Trust and Safety Council Head Yoel Roth Regrets but Acknowledges Claiming ‘Literal Nazis’ Were in White House when Trump was President”
(correction: Roth used the word “actual” – not “literal”)
“.@RepGosar challenges Gadde and Roth about NYP story claiming child porn was not removed from Twitter”
In our speculation and opinion, former Twitter employees are being as vague as possible and have been potentially coached by attorneys.
Roth seems to be more forthcoming as he answered some questions that the others claimed they could not hear or understand in some cases. We’ll keep an eye on the hearing to see what notable items progress.
