“This has been one of the most isolating times of my life,” Anika Navaroli, the former Twitter policy official who testified to the Jan. 6 committee, told @drewharwell. “I wouldn’t be doing this if I didn’t believe the truth matters.” https://t.co/AFtlSsjDGg — PolitiTweet.org

What seemed new today was Clegg outlining the metric they'd use to judge Trump in the future, if he's let back onto Facebook. He'd be allowed to repeat lies, but Meta would reserve the right to suspend him again over obvious incitement. https://t.co/lLRqxKfwig — PolitiTweet.org

So, as much as Twitter is in the hotseat now, so too is the agency that's otherwise considered America's top corporate accountability & privacy watchdog. If the FTC missed something this big, what else has it missed? https://t.co/OuwVnIS8Ha — PolitiTweet.org
