Hubris, thy name is Anika Navaroli.

No one can be this vain and be sane. I think we will be watching one of the 4-6% that are lost forever at the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability starting at 10:00 AM EST on 08 February 2023.

Here is just a sample at what we are going to hear:

"Good morning Chairman Comer, Ranking Member Raskin and members of the Committee. Thank you for the opportunity to appear before you.

There is an urgent need for us to understand the impact social media companies are having on our democracy.

I was not involved in the decision around Hunter Biden’s laptop. I was involved in decisions made leading up to, during and after the January 6th attack on the Capitol. If we are going to talk about social media and the government, we need to talk about Twitter’s failure to act before January 6th.

I am here to tell you that doing nothing is not an option. If we continue to do nothing, violence is going to happen again.

My background is as a trained lawyer and journalist. My expertise over the past decade has been in the areas of media, technology, law, and policy with a particular focus on social media and free expression.

I joined Twitter in 2019. By 2020, I was the most senior expert on Twitter’s U.S. Safety Policy Team. My team’s mission was to protect free speech and public safety by writing and enforcing content moderation policies around the world. These were around abuse, harassment, hate speech, violence, and privacy.

If no other algorithm or human could decide if a Tweet violated my team’s policies, the safety policy team - my team - acted as the final moderators. If a high-profile individual – like a member of this committee or President Trump – tweeted something controversial, it was sent to my team’s desk.

Every day we had to decide whether a particular piece of content equated to yelling “Fire!” in a crowded theater.

My work at Twitter, and subsequently at Twitch, put me in the middle of key events in history. I’ve learned social media played and continues to play a role in these major events. And two years after January 6th, we still need to better understand the role Twitter played in order to prevent it happening again."

I mean, didn't some one tell her that the Democrats are now in the Minority. The true-believer bullshit propaganda train left the station on 20 January 2023.
