Who is Yoel Roth? Twitter's ex-safety chief now ADMITS it was wrong to censor Hunter Biden laptop story
Yoel Roth, the former head of trust and safety at Twitter, claimed that the social media firm made a mistake when it decided to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story. Roth, who quit earlier in November after Elon Musk's $44 billion buyout, stated that the legitimacy of the New York Post's laptop report was impossible for the social media firm to verify, and it was swiftly censored in October 2020.
A front-page New York Post article on Biden's personal life and his controversial business ties to Ukraine was intentionally blocked from sharing by Twitter in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election between Biden's father and Donald Trump. In an interview with journalist Kara Swisher, Roth said, "We didn't know what to believe, we didn't know what was true, there was smoke—and ultimately for me, it didn't reach a place where I was comfortable removing this content from Twitter. But it set off every single one of my finely tuned APT28 hack and leak campaign alarm bells. Everything about it looked like a hack and leak." Roth's remarks come as Musk prepares to publish documents on Twitter's "free speech suppression," which are likely to contain information on the censorship of the laptop story.
