Yoel Roth, until very recently, was the head of Trust and Safety and Twitter. It appeared as though Elon Musk was going to keep him on, against the wishes of many conservatives, who had some very interesting opinions about Republicans and conservatives. He’s the guy that tweeted, “I’m just saying, we fly over those states that voted for a racist tangerine for a reason.” Oh, and “Yes, that person in the pink hat is clearly a bigger threat to your brand of feminism than ACTUAL NAZIS IN THE WHITE HOUSE.”
Roth left Twitter in November, and he recently gave a talk in which he shared the “trauma” that he and other content moderators at Twitter felt on January 6, watching what was said online spill over into the Capitol.
Truly incredible — former Twitter executive @yoyoel, who just got caught fabricating a fake justification for censoring a media outlet, says the decision to ban Trump after Jan 6 was impelled by the "trauma" he and other "content moderators" experienced online that fateful day pic.twitter.com/JSE7tpXtGz

"Trauma" is pretty high up there on the list of words corrupted by the millennial generation.

“Trauma,” from online content. Well that explains it. They made decisions based on their own personal feelings. Literally. They get trauma from anything they don’t agree with.

Why do these guys all sound the same? Like they all never hit puberty or left middle school!

Yea, they all use emotive language. It's never "right", "wrong", it's always "I felt unsafe", as if that's justification for anything.

He's the reason tampons are in men's bathrooms.

Wow.
My empathy is having trouble getting past my eye-roll wall.
Have to remember that people like this have to live with their dysfunction every day. Can’t even imagine how unfulfilling/unhappy life is when victimology is the drug of choice. 😳#MoralDevelopmentMatters

Truly amazing who is deciding who can be heard these days. Words are trauma. Some how the violence all over the US during the summer of 2020 was not trauma to these people but Jan 6 was trauma.

Oh boy…seems justified if their feelings were hurt.

Just like journos have PTSD for having their narratives opposed on social media

Seems like they haven't had it in their lives so have to invent trauma.
They're all so weak and pathetic.

Notice, too, that Roth appears to be one of those people who’s certain that the 2020 election was completely above board, even though his own company suppressed a news story that would have been damaging to the Biden campaign. He was part of the election interference and doesn’t even seem to realize it.
