The Washington Post has obtained internal Twitter records, including a copy of a Jan. 5, 2021, video call, that show Twitter leaders discouraged the platform’s trust and safety staff members from removing tweets they felt were calls for violence in the wake of Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss.
The video and the other documents, which were collected by the Jan. 6 committee but not released, undermine current Republican efforts in Congress to build a case that the tech companies were “weaponized” against conservative ideas.
