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

Dear Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal, chairman of the board Bret Taylor, and members of Twitter’s board of directors:

I am a Twitter shareholder, deeply disturbed that Twitter has decided to quit enforcing its policy against tweeting lies about the 2020 election.

Yesterday, CNN’s Daniel Dale reported that “Twitter quit taking action to try to limit the spread of lies about the 2020 election,” and that ‘since March 2021,’ Twitter has not been enforcing its ‘civic integrity policy’ in relation to lies about the 2020 election.”

The danger posed by allowing Donald Trump to tweet lies about the election (via his spokesperson Liz Harrington), and others who parrot him to curry political favor, is abundantly clear.

The Atlantic Council’s DFRLab concluded in its analysis, “#StopTheSteal: Timeline of Social Media and Extremist Activities Leading to 1/6 Insurrection” that, “Put simply, the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol would likely have not occurred if not for Trump’s explicit and tacit encouragement of the Stop the Steal movement.”
