Former Twitter executives who played central roles in the company’s censorship efforts revealed in the Twitter Files appeared before Congress on Wednesday to answer for their actions.
Twitter’s former Head of Trust and Safety Yoel Roth, former chief legal officer Vijaya Gadde, and former deputy counsel Jim Baker were grilled by numerous Republican lawmakers over censoring Hunter Biden’s laptop in the days leading up to the 2020 election.
