NEW by me: Twitter has quit taking action against lies about the 2020 election: CNN report. An open letter to Twitter CEO and board chair from a $TWTR shareholder.
"Twitter quit taking action to try to limit the spread of lies about the 2020 election... a day after another social media platform, YouTube, removed a Republican congressman's campaign ad because it included a 2020 lie."
Twitter's largest institutional shareholders should be alarmed by Twitter's decision not to enforce policy against tweeting election lies. Repercussions from election lies hurt investments and the economy. $TWTR
"Global ESG assets may surpass $41 trillion by 2022 and $50 trillion by 2025, one-third of the projected total assets under management globally, according to a report by Bloomberg Intelligence (BI)."
Twitter has decided to ignore risk of violence stemming from election lies. $TWTR
US federal agents have arrested a Nevada man for threatening a state election worker, telling her that she was "going to f'ing die" for stealing the 2020 election from Trump
Twitter former CEO Jack Dorsey to Twitter shareholders, February 2021: "And I think the most important thing that we can do always is be more transparent with how our rules work, how our enforcements have taken place."
How does Twitter's announcement to quit taking any action against lies about the 2020 election square with its statement on commitment to corporate responsibility?
Twitter spokesperson told @washingtonpost that “we are no longer enforcing our Civic Integrity Policy on content related to the outcome of the now-concluded 2020 U.S. election," @viaCristiano reported weeks ago.
Twitter is no longer taking any action against lies about the 2020 election. The Big Lie, advanced by Trump and propagated on social media, sparked the Jan 6 deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. $TWTR #BigLie

Hi @TwitterIR. I'm a shareholder. Looking forward to report of Q4 & FY '21 earnings on Feb 10, 2022. Please address @Twitter's decision to quit taking action against 2020 election lies. Risk of political violence puts $TWTR value and overall economy at risk.
Twitter spox told @CNN that Twitter has not been enforcing its 'civic integrity policy' in relation to lies about the 2020 election. That was the policy under which the company had suspended or even banned users for lying about the 2020 election. $TWTR cnn.com/2022/01/28/pol…

I am asking Twitter to enforce its policy to mitigate the risk of further violence.
The 17-year-old girl who recorded this video of James Iannazzo told me today that @tiktok_us banned her account after she posted this video there yesterday. She said she "just wanted to make people aware." I have messaged #TikTok to ask why it banned her account.
A spokesperson for Merrill Lynch emailed me today that the man in the video, James Iannazzo has been terminated:
"Our company does not tolerate behavior of this kind. We immediately investigated and have taken action. This individual is no longer employed at our firm."
James Iannazzo was charged with intimidation based on bigotry or bias, breach of peace, and criminal trespass.
His court date is scheduled for February 7 at Bridgeport Superior Court. wfsb.com/news/fairfield…
Is this James Iannazzo, Wealth Management Advisor, Managing Director of @MerrillLynch? Merrill Lynch is owned by @BankofAmerica. Comment from his employer? $BAC #ESG
I have emailed Merrill Lynch and Bank of America, asking them to confirm whether the man in the video is their employee James Iannazzo and, if so, what is their comment. Will post here if I receive response.
NEW: A spokesperson for Merrill Lynch emailed me this statement today about James Iannazo who was seen in a viral video:

UPDATE: The @FEC has assessed an additional fine against @AmyKremer's PAC Women Vote Smart for non-filing. The new fine of $8418 (posted 1/19/22) brings total of five unpaid fines against Kremer's PAC to 37,428. FEC can refer to @USTreasury for collection. rantt.com/scoop-women-fo…
None of the FEC's five fine cases against Kremer's PAC have been referred to US Treasury for enforcement and collection. A spokesperson for the FEC told me they could provide no information as to why no referrals to the Treasury Department. fec.gov/about/leadersh…
Jan 6 rally, "organized by [Amy] Kremer’s Women for America First group, featured the now-infamous speech from President Donald Trump when he urged followers to march on the U.S. Capitol." - @daithaigilbert@VICENewsvice.com/en/article/7kv…
In Jan 2021, Sen @RonWyden told me he would "keep pressing the IRS to investigate" the role of tax-exempt groups involved in #Jan6. Wyden sent a letter to IRS chief Charles Rettig, demanding investigation. No response yet from Rettig, a Trump holdover. rantt.com/legal-liabilit…
In April 2021, Sen. Wyden reiterated his demand that the IRS investigate tax-exempt groups involved in #Jan6, telling a town hall audience that he hadn't received a response from IRS chief Rettig, but that he would "insist on it." Still no response from Rettig, a Trump holdover.
Sen. Wyden sent a letter to IRS chief Charles Rettig on Jan 15, 2021, demanding investigation into tax-exempt groups involved in #Jan6. Nonprofit Women for America First was permit-holder for 1/6 incitement rally. No response from Rettig, a Trump holdover. finance.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
