A series of new Twitter files has been released, with the social media platform's CEO, Elon Musk, suggesting in a tweet that former U.S. President Donald Trump was not in violation of Twitter rules.

Musk added in his tweet that Twitter decided to ban Trump from the social media platform "under pressure from hundreds of activist employees.

Trump's account was permanently suspended by Twitter after the Capitol riot, in which many of his supporters participated.

Many were encouraged by the false claims that the 2020 election had been stolen. Twitter, at that time, decided to suspend his account due to "the risk of further incitement of violence."

Journalist Bari Weiss shared the newly released Twitter files, which showed some debate among employees about whether Trump's final tweets violated the social media platform's rules on inciting violence.

The internal Twitter documents showed conversations raising concerns about censorship, while one employee noted that Twitter imposes "far stricter rules on effectively everyone else on the platform."

Weiss also cited "dissenters" inside Twitter that did not want to ban Trump, with one saying that they are from China and they "deeply understand how censorship can destroy the public conversation."

On the other hand, Weiss wrote that many Twitter employees were upset that Trump had not been banned earlier.

One Twitter employee said that there are several "employee advocacy happening" after the January 6 Capitol riot, with Twitter employees demanding the social media company to ban Trump.

One staffer said that they do not see "the incitement angle," according to the journalist.

A Twitter police official, Anika Navaroli, wrote that she does not see clear or coded incitement in the former president's tweet.

Navaroli later testified to the House Select Committee probing the Capitol riot. She noted that she and other staffers had been alarmed by content posted by the Proud Boys on Twitter.

Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad tweeted in 2020, saying it was "a right" for Muslims to "kill millions of French People." The social media company deleted the said tweet.

However, Mohamad remained on Twitter.

Twitter Files

Twitter's actions and decisions before Musk's ownership have been made public starting on December 2, when journalist Matt Taibbi detailed how the social media platform censored The New York Post's Hunter Biden laptop story, which showed his foreign business dealings.

Other Twitter Files were publicized regarding the company "blacklisting" conservative users. Weiss reported the second installment of the said Twitter Files.

There was also a series of documents about Twitter contacting the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other federal agencies regarding "misinformation" on the site.

Trump was again back on Twitter after Musk reinstated him. However, the former president continues to share his thoughts on his Truth Social platform.

Weiss is a former editor and writer at the Wall Street Journal and New York Times. She now runs a Substack site called the Free Press and is one of three independent journalists given access to Twitter's internal documents.
