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.

“Twitter gave far-right extremists the platform they needed to plan an attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, and the website, if it maintains its current approach, will likely enable politically motivated violence again in the future.” - @splcenter

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…

"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

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…

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…

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.
