A few notes on the Twitter Files

• While I think Twitter’s uses are manifest, the platform is not conducive to long-form journalism. This is an awkward and unwieldy method of proceeding.

• Each of the five parts of the Twitter Files posted so far would benefit from summaries and topic sentences. …

• Twitter staff and management wielded their power without principle, or in violation of their stated principles. Everything they said to the contrary was pretextual. That is how I interpret Twitter management’s landing on “coded call to violence” as the ground for Trump’s banning. See tweets 27-30.
