Twitter’s new Trust and Safety Council

I wish I’d been in that meeting, the one where Twitter decided to create its new Trust and Safety Council.

According to Twitter’s most vocal free speech activists (aka Trolls), this is an Orwellian suppression of free speech by radical feminists, homosexuals, jews, islamists and the left-wing liberal media.

They’ve hired Christian Senger from VW technology supplier Continental, where he was involved in the development of electric vehicle systems and autonomous-driving technology, to lead the charge.
