How, if and when Twitter decided to block Trump’s account

Jack Dorsey, Director of Twitter, is working in distance from a private island in Polinesia Francesa frequented by celebrities fleeing the paparazzi when a telephone call interrupted the 6th of January.

From the other side of the line Vijaya Gadde, the abogada principal and expert in Twitter security, with a real world news. The day that she and other executives of the company habían decided to block the account of the president of the state, Donald Trump, in a temporary manner, at the end of impede that publish statements that pudieran provoke more violence after a turbo charged the Capitol of the United States this day.

Dorsey’s the preoccupation with the decision, following the deaths of the victims’ entourage. For four years, he has been resisting the demands of liberals and other people to cancel Trump’s account., with the argument that the platform was a place in which the world leaders could express themselves, even if their postures were made. Without embarrassment, the habeas corpus delegated the decision of moderation to Gadde, of 46 years, and only defer to the criterion of it and, in this case, the new hizo.

Dorsey, 44, does not express his dudas in public. On the following day, I shared my opinion of various cases involving the cauldron with respect to a permanent block of Trump’s account. Después, en el transcurso de las siguientes 36 horas, Twitter stepped down to lift Trump’s suspension to close its permanent manner, with which it disconnects from the president of a platform used for communication, without filter, not only with its 88 million followers, but with the whole world.

The decision was a sign of the Trump presidency that it had immediately drawn up accusations of political strife and renewed scrutiny in favor of the ostentatious technology industry over public discourse. Interviews with a dozen informants of news and antiques on Twitter and the week of last week we will have a visit from how empty is this medium: impulsed by a group of Dorsey confidant executives who sell their wife’s reserves, only to be deprived of a violent and deadly conduct in the Capitol.

After delivering the next day’s suspension, Twitter monitors reactions to Trump’s touts and all internet and executives informs Dorsey that Trump’s followers have received their latest messages to commit more violence. A union public event and a social alternative Parler, members of the Twitter security team believe that a Trump fan was involved in paramilitary groups impinging on elective president Joe Biden to enter the White House and fight anyone intent on detaining . The potential for much-maligned hub distractions with real consequences was high.

Twitter is also on this page price of his employees, which has been dubbed for years to eliminate Trump from the site, as well as legislators, technology investors and others. Geen hindernis, although more than 300 employees will sign a card claiming that Trump’s account will close, the decision to expel the president of the platform is just before the card goes to the executives, leaving them with the people involved. .

The high schoolers, Dorsey alluded to the tensions within Twitter. En toe die 13 tuitjies, writing that no celebrity is feeling sorry for “trying to disable the account of @realDonaldTrump” because “a disqualification is a phrase in our mission to promote a sound dialogue”.

Without embarrassment, Dorsey agreed: “This is the correct decision for Twitter. We enroll in una circunstancia extraordinaria e onhoudbaar which obliges us to focus all our actions on public safety ”.

Dorsey, Gadde y la Casa Blanca, no response to request.

Since the Trump account is closed, Many of the concerns that Dorsey has about the decision are true.. Twitter has embarked on a heated debate over the power of technology companies and its lack of responsibility.

Trump, who joined Twitter on Twitter in 2009, was a fortune teller and company. Sus tuits le valieron presents a Twitter message, and it’s a batalló para atraer a nuevos usuarios. Pero his false assertions and statements online also provoke his critics to say that the site allows him to propagate lies and prophesy.

At the same time, Twitter is becoming more proactive in its policy-making maneuver. In October 2019, Dorsey eliminated all political publicity on the site, but said it was concerned that these announcements were “significant ramifications that the current democratic structure is not ready to launch”.

Prohibition of probes, Dorsey, a proponent of free expression, refuses to eliminate world newspaper publications because of the lack of informative interests. Since Twitter announced this year it has become more flexible with the world leaders that break its rules, the company only había eliminated its all one time: March of this year, messages from the presidents of Brazil and Venezuela that falsify coronavirus cures. Dorsey opuso the elimination of his tuits, given a person entertains his reasoning.

Dorsey subscribes to an intermediate solution: add labels to all the world leaflets that violate Twitter’s policies. In May, when Trump issued erroneous information about the correct vote, Dorsey gave the authorization for Twitter to label the president’s messages.

During the November 3 election, Trump announced in a statement that he had won the election. In terms of a number of days, Twitter has a 34-year-old label labeled around its tits and retits, following an account of The New York Times.

Luego vino el asalto al Capitolio.

On January 6, members of Congress met to certify the results of the elections, Twitter executives celebrating the acquisition of Ueno, a brand design and positioning firm. Dorsey, who is on the verge of retiring, has traveled to Pacific Island, leaving her with information about her abduction.

When Trump repeats a Twitter post to speak to Vice President Mike Pence about the results of the election, the company added ads to his tweet. Después, while violating the capitol on the Capitol, the people on Twitter and Facebook have blocked Trump completely.

This causes virtual debates between some of Dorsey’s executives. The group includes Gadde, a lawyer who joined Twitter in 2011; Del Harvey, vice president of reliability and security, and Yoel Roth, director of integrity at the site. Harvey and Roth helped to unravel the company’s responses to the base messages, the accusation and the interference in elections.

Trump’s executives decided on Trump’s request his comments appear inciting to the turbo, then the people with the knowledge of the conversations will die. Versoen Gadde llamó a Dorsey, a quien no le agradó la decisión, según relataron.

Trump’s account was not completely disqualified. It eliminates variants of the tufts that habían incited to the turbo, has a period of hope of 12 hours. Luego podría volver a hacer publications.

After that Twitter blocked the Trump account, Facebook hizo the same. Snapchat, Twitch and other sites also impose limits on Trump.

No obstacle, Dorsey no established meeting of the ban el acceso a Trump de manera permanent. Send an e-mail to employees on the following day expressing that it is important that the company converts with its politicians, including allowing a user to regress to the platform through a suspension.

Many workers do not strive to agree, so as to pass the story with a small favorite image. Various of these hiccups refer to IBM’s collaboration with the Nazis, followed by current and ancient Twitter posts, and launched a petition to eliminate Trump’s intermediary account.

On the same day, Facebook blocked Trump’s access to the site until the end of his term. Pero regressed on Twitter this night with a video that expresses a pacific transition of the power.

No obstacle, on the following day, Trump flew to the Andes. It has been announced that its bases will be hosting a “VOZ GIANT” and that it will not be attending the presidential investment ceremony on January 20th.

The Twitter security team informed Trump that Trump’s fanatics, who had declared that the president had given up, announced intentions to carry out more disruptions, said the people involved in the attack. In a message from Parler reviewing the security team, a user said he was worried about the “stadium patriots” as he told Washington to stop arraying physical injuries during the presidential investment ceremony.

The security team of editors has to edit an analysis of all cases to value and justify the disqualification of the Trump account, the informants said.

This day, the media editor in San Francisco, Dorsey convened a staff meeting. I would like to present it to explain why we did not close Trump’s permanent account.

Dorsey repeated that Twitter debated being congruent with its politicians. But he asserted that his confession had been obtained through torture, and that his confession had been obtained through torture, and that his confession had been obtained through torture.

After the meeting, Dorsey and other executives coincide with what all Trump has published this morning — and the responses that have provoked — have crossed that line, according to the informants. The map of employees who solicit the elimination of Trump’s account is most delayed, affirmed.

In question time, the Trump bill disappears, only there is a “suspended bill” label. Intended to publish from the @POTUS account, which is the official account of the President of the United States, and from others. Pero on every occasion, Twitter frustrated its intentions to eliminate the messages.
