Earlier quoted context omitted.

There are no links to the raw footage for the Twitter interviews. I called them & asked them to provide all raw footage as they provide raw footage for some of their episodes & it would be a significant distinguishing feature for a news organization to provide raw footage for all episodes. Note that you are holding them to a higher standard than other news outlets who rarely provide the raw interview footage & mostly…

Like I said from the very beginning, you can only provide links that are highly edited and leave out the context. At the end of the day only the naive and gullible will trust those videos. Your choice of course.

Then any interview by any organization that is edited, which is the large majority, "leaves out the context" & only the "naive and gullible" would believe it. Or you have a double standard based on the narrative that you want to hear. IMO & the opinion of many, there was more than enough context...it just happens that it's not what you want to hear. They had various ramblings for well over a minute. I don't think any more context is going to change what they were expressing.

Again, it's all moot. These people lost their jobs & good riddance. Twitter is heading in a better direction now. I doubt Twitter employees will ramble on about how they are censoring political opponents to a random stranger anymore.

Also, there was corruption with employees selling blue check marks & the management lied about their bot problem. It just doesn't seem like the company was ran ethically on many fronts. Twitter was hemorrhaging money, was obviously was not run well, & failed to live up to it's potential.

'Twitter’s priorities are no longer even remotely aligned with my own.' Since when were they? The mistake was perhaps to ever think that they were. It was twitters 'priority to sell themselves to Musk, hence why they took him to court to ensure he bought them. This is a somewhat crazy, knee-jerk reaction to some news headlines, the author has no idea of what is really happening, i'm not saying that i do, but for exam…

> Since when were they? >> particularly struck me was that he laid off the entire accessibility team. For me this feels like a microcosm of the whole situation. Twitter’s priorities are no longer even remotely aligned with my own. Since you have ignored those sentences - you had to make "crazy" assumptions.

I didn't ignore those words, I directly addressed them in my comment.
