Here’s the thing thought. So far the emails show a team making a mistake, and being thoughtful about it. Trying to look to their moderation principals and disagreeing about the path forward. Then, later we know Jack and Yoel and most of the team apologized and admitted it was a mistake.

If these people were all conservatives and I saw this interaction I would say the same thing. So tell me a story about principals that apply universally that should make me more concerned.

Should it? This is the most Barbara Streisanded news story in history; There have been two years of investigations and nothing has come of it. Maybe it was just a nothingburger that also happened to have been handled by Twitter badly. Even Matt taibbi said that the suspression was a bigger story than the original article.

Sound more like "we're sorry we got caught"

[etchalon]

They got caught doing something that it was public knowledge they were doing and the whole point of them doing it was immediately acknowledged in public?

[ilyt]

And apologized only after shitstorm ensued

[etchalon]

And you wanted a preemptive apology before they'd done it, or people were mad about it?

[ilyt]

No ? I don't care about apologies, do better or fuck off

[mikkergp]

I didn’t read details about their apology, what makes you say that?

[ilyt]

I just don't believe there is anyone that would look at what they are doing and go "yes, that's the right course" only to figure out that maybe manipulating politics using your power in social media company is not a good thing to do.
