Congressman Ro Khanna and Vijaya Gadde, two Indian-Americans, play significant roles in the laptop tale involving US President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden, whose complete disclosure Twitter CEO Elon Musk has announced would be made public on the microblogging platform.
The most wealthy person in the world, Elon Musk, who last month bought Twitter, said on December 2 that he would reveal information regarding what he called Twitter’s suppression of a contentious report by the New York Post about Hunter Biden’s laptop that was released prior to the 2020 US election.
Additionally, he tweeted that the event will be amazing and have a live Q&A on the subject.
According to the story, emails that belonged to Hunter were found on a laptop. The New York Post claimed to have obtained the emails from Trump’s former personal attorney at the time, Rudy Giuliani, and to have learned of their existence from Trump’s former White House chief strategist, Steve Bannon.
Twitter initially restricted the story’s reach due to worries that a foreign disinformation campaign may have been behind it. However, the social media company quickly changed its stance after being criticized for blocking the link by its then-CEO, Jack Dorsey.
The Democratic congressman for Silicon Valley in the US House of Representatives is Ro Khanna, and before being fired by her new boss and CEO Musk, attorney Vijaya Gadde oversaw legal, policy, and trust matters at Twitter.
In response to claims that Twitter withheld news and information pertaining to Hunter’s laptop during the 2020 election campaign, author Matt Taibbi published a number of tweets along with internal Twitter communications.
Ro Khanna appears to have questioned Twitter’s decision to block access to a New York Post investigative report on Hunter’s laptop, according to information made public by Matt Taibbi.
According to Mr. Khanna, Twitter’s action appears to be a violation of the principles of the First Amendment.
Ms. Gadde defended Twitter’s policy and its choice regarding the Post piece in response to Mr. Khanna’s email.
Some of the earliest instruments for regulating speech, according to Matt Taibbi, were created to tackle things like spam and financial fraud.
Mr. Taibbi claimed that both parties had used these resources.
For instance, in 2020, requests from the Biden campaign and the Trump White House were both honored. He wrote that the system wasn’t balanced, though.
