2/ This loss of institutional knowledge can impact election administration and public confidence in elections.

Former Twitter employee: “I was concerned the former president, for the first time, was speaking directly to extremist organizations and giving them directives.” #January6thCommitteeHearings
"If President Trump were any other user on Twitter, he would have been permanently suspended a very long time ago." #January6thCommitteeHearings
Former Twitter employee, knowing that extremists were ready to take up arms: "Trump posting this tweet on Dec 19th was essentially staking a flag in D.C. on Jan 6 for his supporters to come and rally." #January6thCommitteeHearing
