Matt Taibbi No, I will not take the L. @mtaibbi - 15h

Elon Musk @elonmusk 1. Substack links were never blocked. Matt's statement is false. 2. Substack was trying to download a massive portion of the Twitter database to bootstrap their Twitter clone, so their IP address is obviously untrusted. 3. Turns out Matt is/was an employee of Substack. 5:49 AM 4/8/23 · 54.2K Views ●

On Tuesday, Twitter Deputy General Counsel (and former FBI General Counsel) Jim Baker was fired. Among the reasons? Vetting the first batch of "Twitter Files" - without knowledge of new management. 12.6K 539 Matt Taibbi @mtaibbi 18h The process for producing the "Twitter Files" involved delivery to two journalists (Bari Weiss and me) via a lawyer close to new management. However, after the initial batch, things became complicated. t 4,669 28K Matt Taibbi @mtaibbi 18h "My jaw hit the floor," says Weiss. t 4,208 48.2K Matt Taibbi @mtaibbi - 18h Over the weekend, while we both dealt with obstacles to new searches, it was @BariWeiss who discovered that the person in charge of releasing the files was someone named Jim.

"The Policy Basis Is Hacked Materials"

Yoel Roth mmmmmmmm The policy basis is hacked materials - though, as discussed, this is an emerging situation where the facts remain unclear. Given the SEVERE risks here and lessons of 2016, we're erring on the side of including a warning and preventing this content from being amplified. Vijaya Gadde mmmmmmmmmm What is the warning that will come up? Yoel Roth mmmmmmmm New When you click the link, you'll see the generic unsafe URL message (references spam, malware, and violations of the Twitter Rules) - not ideal, but it's the only thing we have lan Plunkett New Whatever we do in the comms (this will become a bias claim for Jack pre-hearing immediately), let's make it clear we're proactively but cautiously interpreting this through the lens of our hacked materials policy and allowing the link with a warning and significant reduction of spread.

Jim Baker: "Caution Is Warranted"

Jim Baker New [PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL] I support the conclusion that we need more facts to assess whether the materials were hacked. At this stage, however, it is reasonable for us to assume that they may have been and that caution is warranted. There are some facts that indicate that the materials may have been hacked, while there are others indicating that the computer was either abandoned and/or the owner consented to allow the repair shop to access it for at least some purposes. We simply need more information.

Former VP of Global Comms Brandon Borrman asks, “Can we truthfully claim that this is part of the policy?”

Brandon Borrman New To lan's point, can we truthfully claim that this is part of the policy? i.e. As part of our approach to addressing potentially hacked materials, we are limiting visibility of related stories on Twitter while our investigation is ongoing.

From Trenton Kennedy, Katie Rosborough on the Hunter Biden Leak

2020-10-14 NYPost Hunter Biden Laptop Article - PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL our teams continue to investigate the origins of the material included in the reporting. Trenton Kennedy I'm struggling to understand the policy basis for marking this as unsafe, and I think the best explainability argument for this externally would be that we're waiting to understand if this story is the result of hacked materials. We'll face hard questions on this if we don't have some kind of solid reasoning for marking the link unsafe. Trenton Kennedy cc: @yoel@twitter.com @rsommers@twitter.com @iplunkett@twitter.com @krosborough@twitter.com Katie Rosborough Will we also mark similar stories as unsafe? https://www.foxnews.com/politics/hunter-biden-emails-senate-homeland-security-committee-investigating-hard- drive-laptop

All she did was cite the story and firsthand reporting that has been reported by other outlets and not disputed by the Biden campaign. I need an answer immediately on when/how she will be unlocked. I also don't apricate how nobody on this team called me regarding the news that you'll be censoring news articles. Like I said, at least pretend to care for the next 20 days.
