Twitter’s always had lots of drama, but the last couple of days there’s been a back and forth between Dr Yoel Roth, ex head of twitter trust and safety, and Linda Yaccarino the new CEO of X ne twitter.
First off Yoel wrote an op-ed in the New York Times:
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/18/opinion/trump-elon-musk-twitter.html
It’s good, it talks about the way that targeted attacks and harassment are used to silence and limit speech.
Then a couple days ago Dr Roth and Yaccarino had back to back interviews at the code conference.
Yoel’s Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9XoUUYeZD8
Linda’s Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYymRU-bfpQ
Both are worth listening to if you want to understand the debates about where Twitter is today. There’s also a funny bit where Linda tries to reference X by showing her phone, but it doesn’t have x on it, only instagram, facebook, blind. The latter is a back channel gossip app for employees at companies.
