Who is Vijaya Gadde? Twitter's fired legal chief caught at center of storm for blocking Hunter Biden story
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA: The 'Twitter Files' has told a "Frankensteinian tale of a human-built mechanism grown out the control of its designer" as put by author and journalist Matt Taibbi who was allegedly given the documents exposing the Hunter Biden laptop scandal in 2020 by Elon Musk. The files have revealed that the CEO, Jack Dorsey, was unaware of the influence that certain political people have on the platform but Vijaya Gadde was a key player. The billionaire tech mogul acquired Twitter not too long ago and quickly made some prominent changes, mainly immediately firing several top executives such as Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal, chief financial officer Ned Segal, the top lawyer for the firm, Vijaya Gadde, Sean Edgett, and more.
Before Twitter files began on December 2, Elon Musk explained that the people's trust need to be restored and the explosive threat commenced. One crucial piece of information that Taibbi has revealed is that Dorsey, on one hand, was unaware of the situation that was weakening the company, but on the other, it was Gadde who was well aware of the doings and played a crucial role in it. Taibbi wrote, "The decision was made at the highest levels of the company, but without the knowledge of CEO Jack Dorsey, with the former head of legal, policy and trust Vijaya Gadde playing a key role."
