Twitter owner Elon Musk confirmed that some important data in the “Twitter Files” internal documents he has made public to reveal Twitter’s history of censorship, may have been hidden or deleted. He assured users that “everything we find will be released.”
Musk tweeted in response to a tweet by Twitter’s founder Jack Dorsey, who gave little transparency during his time running Twitter, that read: “If the goal is transparency to build trust, why not just release everything without filter and let people judge for themselves? Including all discussions around current and future actions? Make everything public now. #TwitterFiles.”
Musk wrote back: “Most important data was hidden (from you too) and some may have been deleted, but everything we find will be released.”
On Tuesday, Twitter’s general counsel James “Jim” Baker was fired for vetting the first batch of the files, according to Matt Taibbi, the journalist who is publishing the “Twitter Files” on behalf of Musk.
