[quote=Anonymous]Twitter's former trust and safety chief said it was a mistake to censor the HB laptop story: 'We didn't know what to believe'

The former head of trust and safety at Twitter said it was a mistake for the platform to censor a story about H.B.’s laptop ahead of the 2020 election.

Yoel Roth, who resigned from Twitter following Elon Musk's takeover, was interviewed Tuesday by journalist Kara Swisher in his first public appearance since his departure from the company on November 10.

In October 2020, less than a month before the election, the New York Post published a story that claimed to contain emails retrieved from a laptop that belonged to President Joe Biden's son Hunter. Twitter initially suppressed distribution of the story, citing concerns that it could be the result of a foreign disinformation campaign.

Twitter quickly backtracked on its response, with then-CEO Jack Dorsey calling the decision to block the link "unacceptable." Other news outlets, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, later confirmed the validity of the laptop's contents long after the election.[/quote]
