Twitter Files reveal 'junior employee' stood against Trump ban, warned of 'slippery slope'

The latest installment of the 'Twitter Files' shows at least one employee at the company stood up to executives looking to ban former President Donald Trump, citing a 'slippery slope.'

"The *only* serious concern we found expressed within Twitter over the implications for free speech and democracy of banning Trump came from a junior person in the organization. It was tucked away in a lower-level Slack channel known as ‘site-integrity-auto,’" Shellenberger said.

"This might be an unpopular opinion but one-off ad hoc decisions like this that don’t appear rooted in policy are imho [in my honest opinion] a slippery slope and reflect an alternatively equally dictatorial problem," the internal message read. "This now appears to be a fiat by an online platform CEO with a global presence that can gatekeep speech for the entire world - which seems unsustainable."
