Twitter whistleblower says Jan. 6 committee failed to hold Big Tech accountable. (via The ReidOut Blog)
reportedly produced by the House Jan. 6 committee that detailed social media companies’ failure to curb extremism, fomented by Donald Trump and others, ahead of the deadly U.S. Capitol riot in 2021. The memo was shocking — not only because it found significant institutional failures by companies like Twitter and Facebook, but also because much of those findings were not described in detail in the committee’s final report.
“Social media companies are mentioned hundreds of times within the final report,” the former Twitter employee said. “However, their role or their responsibility within that day and the events of that day, and the violence that occurred, has not been fully laid out.”examples of social media users, including Trump, sharing extremist content about — and even plans for — overturning the 2020 presidential election.
The memo goes much deeper than the final report on the social media front, examining Facebook and Twitter officials’ refusal to enact policies that could have discouraged right-wing extremism; Twitter’s and Facebook’s weakened moderation protocols due to fears of conservative blowback; and extremists’ use of social platforms — such as Reddit, YouTube and TikTok — to spread misinformation and violent rhetoric.

Proud Boys expecting 'civil war' before Jan. 6, witness saysThe month before the riot at the U.S. Capitol, members of the Proud Boys were growing increasingly angry about the outcome of the 2020 election and were expecting a “civil war,” a former member told jurors on Tuesday as he took the stand in the seditious conspiracy case against the group's former leader. Matthew Greene testified in the case against former Proud Boys national chairman Enrique Tarrio and four lieutenants under a cooperation deal with the government after pleading guilty to storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, with fellow extremists. Greene told jurors that the Proud Boys' conversations became more heated as December 2020 wore on and challenges to President Donald Trump's election loss were unsuccessful.
