The latest installment of the 'Twitter Files' shows at least one employee at the company stood up to executives looking to ban former President Donald Trump, citing a 'slippery slope.'
Tech executives banning Trump without him explicitly violating their policies could give people the"idea that all... internet moguls... sit around like kings casually deciding what people can and cannot see."
"The underlying problem," wrote Oremus,"is that the dominant platforms have always been loath to own up to their subjectivity, because it highlights the extraordinary, unfettered power they wield over the global public square and places the responsibility for that power on their own shoulders." Several people who responded to Shellenberger commended the"junior employee" for taking a stand and said they deserved a promotion.
