Imagine Donald Trump pardoning the people that bludgeoned the police, the men that had an armory of weapons in Arlington, the men and women that sought to kill his own Vice President.
It's important to note that leaders of the Oathkeepers and other extremists were deeply angry that Trump failed to pardon everyone involved in January 6. I think these statements gave to be read as directed at them- mending the relationship.
@January6thCmte 2/ At Alphabet, the Committee is focused on YouTube. One thing that caught my eye- the Committee seeks "non-public moderation discussions and policies that led to President Trump's suspension"... interesting.
3/ At Meta (Facebook), the Committee wants more information about some of the details revealed by whistleblower @FrancesHaugen:
The Wall Street Journal revealed the existence of a program at Facebook called Cross Check that gave elites special consideration. The Oversight Board chastised the company for failing to disclose it. @MChrisRiley has recommendations for the board: techpolicy.press/cross-checking…
Background reading- in September @JeffHorwitz kicked off the Facebook Files- a series of reports based on leaked documents from whistleblower Frances Haugen- with a report on Cross Check: wsj.com/articles/faceb…
@JeffHorwitz Facebook's own Oversight Board was kept in the dark about the existence of the program despite its inquiry into content moderation practices related to the suspension former President Donald Trump. cnn.com/2021/10/21/tec…
