| − | “GET HIM OUT,” posted a senior site reliability engineer on August 18, 2020 “What a f–king baboon.” One manager with 9 years on the job said he was quite keen to watch Biden “crush [Trump] in the election” and that he hoped the president would “be utterly humiliated while also suffering greatly from [[Covid 19|#COVID19]].” He calls Trump “a f–king idiot” and the voters who elected him — “hysterically f–king [[stupid]] people.” Others publicly wish the president harm. One Twitter engineering manager said Trump should “die in a fire” in a January 2017 tweet. A year later, he rang in the new year by saying “Happy 2018! Donald Trump is dead!” | + | “GET HIM OUT,” posted a senior site reliability engineer on August 18, 2020 “What a f–king baboon.” One manager with nine years on the job said he was quite keen to watch Biden “crush [Trump] in the election” and that he hoped the president would “be utterly humiliated while also suffering greatly from [[Covid 19|#COVID19]].” He vulgarly and immaturely calls Trump “a f–king idiot” and the voters who elected him — “hysterically f–king [[stupid]] people.” Others publicly wish the President harm.

After a fly landed on Vice President [[Mike Pence]]’s head during his debate with Sen. [[Kamala Harris]], the Twitter vice president noted crudely that flies are “drawn to sh-t.” | + | None of these comments have ever been flagged by Twitter or been subject to any other form of official sanction, even as the social-media giant unjustly dishes out discipline to others for sharing legitimate news stories about Joe Biden.

A senior staff engineer inquired why the media wasn’t looking into [[Melania Trump]]’s “possible stint as a sex worker.” The first lady denied this allegation and successfully sued over it. Twitter’s “head of integrity” Yoel Roth, who helped author the policy update used by the company to flag and label posts from President Trump, compared [[White House]] officials to [[Nazi]]s and Trump to a “racist tangerine.” | + | Spreading misinformation and lies about the Trump family is common.
