Notable paragraph which was not present in the leaked draft:

> Twitter now selectively decides to place a warning label on certain tweets in a manner that clearly reflects political bias. As has been reported, Twitter seems never to have placed such a label on another politician’s tweet. As recently as last week, Representative Adam Schiff was continuing to mislead his followers by peddling the long-disproved Russian Collusion Hoax, and Twitter did not flag those tweets. Unsurprisingly, its officer in charge of so-called ‘Site Integrity’ has flaunted his political bias in his own tweets.

Wow, that's actually a pretty relevant thing to point out

> A notable part of the pushback directed at this Twitter employee is that his team focuses on bots & platform manipulation (not the same as fact-checking). But because he's been publicly critical of the president on social media, Trump surrogates are claiming it was his decision.

Plus the response from Jack Dorsey yesterday:

> Fact check: there is someone ultimately accountable for our actions as a company, and that’s me. Please leave our employees out of this. We’ll continue to point out incorrect or disputed information about elections globally. And we will admit to and own any mistakes we make.

It's a valid point. Shouldn't the head of integrity not have a history of negative bias? That's impossible in practice, but jeez Louise this guy said some pretty offensive things. I think that in of itself should make him ineligible. There cannot be a double standard here.

He seems to be a well balanced individual.

There was never any russian collusion, we know that for a fact now. HN can continue to censor this but it's true, and Twitter not recognizing that as disinformation is why they should be regulated.

Here are some actual facts, rather than assertions or WSJ editorials (as opposed to reported articles)

It's almost surreal that users named Overtonwindow and Simulacra are pushing the "no collusion" narrative

Thanks for checking in, but it still is contrary to what the House of Representatives founds. Your truth that there was collusion is met with other truths that there were not. Is it twitter's role to decide who is right?

The Republicans on HPSCI found what they wanted to find, and avoided finding what they didn't want to find. See the HPSCI minority report for the specific details on this.

Much of the HPSCI majority report is also contradicted by:

  - bipartisan Senate reports
  - the Special Counsel's report
  - the Special Counsel's indictments
  - the FBI, as well as the intelligence community (in toto)
  - the DOJ and intelligence Inspectors General
IOW, it was contradicted by everybody else

From the Editorial Board of the Wall Street Journal:

"Newly released documents show he [Adam Schiff] knew all along that there was no proof of Russia-Trump collusion."

https://www.wsj.com/articles/all-the-adam-schiff-transcripts... 11589326164

So why not put a disclaimer on every politician that says there WAS collusion, or claiming to have evidence of collusion?
