Twitter's Top Lawyer -- Who Has Pushed for Ever More Censorship With the Indignant Fury of a Holy Inquisitor -- Cries In Meeting With Employees
UPDATE: MUSK CALLS HER CENSORSHIP OF THE HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP STORY "INCREDIBLY INAPPROPRIATE"
SEE UPDATE! Elon Musk offers a preview of Gadde's fate. She should be crying. And updating her Monster.com listing.
Vijaya Gadde is the super-SJW lawyer who pushed and pushed to make it against the rules on Twitter to refer to any transgender by his correct pronouns. She pushed the claim from the transgender lobby that it is "violence" and "causes harm" to ever acknowledge their actual sex. You can see this gender-bent ideological maniac debating Tim Pool, with her dum-dum boss Jack Dorsey (then-CEO of Twitter), on the Joe Rogan show. Right off the back in this debate, she's defending the censorship of Dr. Sean Baker for pushing the carnivore diet. Soon thereafter, she and Jack both claim that there will be no censorship of people suggesting that vaccines are unsafe, that that's not against the rules. Yes, that would change in a few years, huh? Essentially, she's been pushing the line that anything the left claims "causes harm" must be censored and that the idea that all this censorship causes harm to free speech just isn't a consideration we should worry about. So you now have the background for why I'm laughing about Vijaya Gadde crying like a Goth girl in a Cure video.This is how they end free speech: They claim that "free speech" can only really happen when they exclude the people who are arguing with women and minorities and especially trans people. Disagreement with protected "marginalized" people is definitionally "hate speech:" if you're not affirming them, it's "hate." When you argue with these people, they feel chilled from expressing their opinions, and do not offer them. So you have to censor men, especially white men, and straight people. Then the "marginalized" people can speak freely. Then you have "free speech." For... some people. But they're the people who matter.
Monday was an emotional day at Twitter -- even for its executives. Shortly after billionaire Elon Musk bought the powerful social media platform, top Twitter lawyer Vijaya Gadde called a virtual meeting with the policy and legal teams she oversees to discuss what the new ownership could mean for them. Gadde cried during the meeting as she expressed concerns about how the company could change, according to three people familiar with the meeting. She acknowledged that there are significant uncertainties about what the company will look like under Musk's leadership. Twitter spokesperson Trenton Kennedy said Gadde became emotional when discussing her team's impact and the pride she feels in them. ...
Gadde, who has worked at Twitter since 2011, is the key executive charged with overseeing Twitter's trust and safety, legal and public policy functions. She is seen internally as Twitter's "moral authority" and the executive tasked with handling sensitive issues like harassment and dangerous speech. ... She has shepherded Twitter through some of its most contentious political battles, including the decisions to remove all political advertising and to boot former President Donald Trump from the platform in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack on Capitol Hill -- a position that has earned her devoted fans within Twitter, as well as a large contingent of right-wing critics.
But as news of Musk's official takeover broke, policy and legal employees fretted at the meeting about what his leadership could mean for Twitter's carefully crafted online speech rules, including its policies against hate speech, misinformation and even political advertising.
... Gadde herself has advocated strongly for ensuring that Twitter's policies protect its most vulnerable users while protecting free expression -- a position that is at odds with Musk's. "I'm often inspired by the vigorous debates on controversial issues that occur on Twitter, but I've also been seriously troubled by the plight of some of our users who are completely overwhelmed by those who are trying to silence healthy discourse in the name of free expression," Gadde wrote in a 2015 Washington Post op-ed. "At times, this takes the form of hateful speech in tweets directed at women or minority groups; at others, it takes the form of threats aimed to intimidate those who take a stand on issues."
Gadde holds one of the most controversial positions at Twitter: Her teams decide how to moderate content. That's made her a target of right-wing criticism, particularly when Twitter blocked the distribution of a New York Post article about President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, in 2020. She faced a renewed wave of criticism after multiple reports confirmed she was behind the decision to ban Trump from Twitter. "No matter what we do we've been accused of bias," she told Bloomberg News in 2020. "Leaving content up, taking content down -- that's become pretty much background noise.""I don't listen to my critics at all. It's just waah, waah, waah to me."
It's unclear so far what Musk's acquisition will mean for Twitter -- and for Gadde's future with the company.Let me clarify it for you: The bitch is gone. UPDATE: Elon Musk responds -- yeah, she's gone.

Washington Post readers were treated to an eight-page "advertising supplement" on Thursday touting the achievements and talking points of the Chinese government in a section of the paper that's off-limits to Post editors. The special section, dubbed "ChinaWatch," came with a warning declaring, "Content in this advertising section was prepared by China Daily, and did not involve the news or opinion staff of The Washington Post." China Daily is owned by the Communist Party of China. Regular readers of the Post have seen similar sections in the past, and countries such as Russia have published similar sections in other papers, but Thursday's version raised eyebrows as China's ruling Communist Party has been in the news for a variety of topics amid a trade war with President Trump. ... "We have run the China Watch advertising supplement for more than 30 years. The China Watch advertising supplement has always been clearly labeled as such. Every page of each advertisement states that the supplement was prepared by China Daily and did not involve the news or opinion departments of The Washington Post. In addition, the layout and format of the supplements differs from our editorial content in a number of ways, including headline style, body font and column width," a Washington Post spokesperson told Fox News. The newspaper did not comment on how much money it received for publishing the special section.But Bezos is worried about Chinese influence on Twitter, eh? He's taking money straight from the Chinese Communist money and won't stop taking it, but he's worried about the pernicious influence of Chinese money on a much wealthier media billionaire than him, huh? Sounds like someone has some envy. Sounds like someone's worried they're not being talked about like they're top dog any longer.
This sad raving lunatic old woman needs to be separated from her money by a defamation lawsuit. I know Musk doesn't need the money, but this old woman needs to be taught to mind her manners:

No, it's completely. Ask Catholic families. Virtus has single-handedly destroyed tons of Catholic children and teen programming in Churches...and it was a program thought up by the lawyers in all the settlements.
Just like Twitter's moral authority moves, it did nothing to solve the actual problems and instead got rid of all the people and things that made it great in the 1st place...

Hearing the same bs in that Politico story that was front and center on CNN and MSNBC about Billionaire Man Bad -- and especially the framing in the Politico, how they roped in 1/6 and tried to make the political Canceller In Chief some sort of free speech martyr... it's all too good. I really think these people believe their own bullshit.

The requirement that any adult (parent or otherwise) who wants to volunteer to help in any event has to get fingerprinted and go through annual 4 hours of training...this is even if your kid's religous ed wants to throw a party and you need parent helpers to participate. You can't drop kids at an event unless there are 2 certified Virtus trained volunteers there, and you pretty much have to be with your kid for everything b/c it's the only way anything happens (b/c that's the one exception in the rules - if parents are watching their own kid, it's cool). This requirement is for kids up through age 17, so teen events and volunteering opportunities fell off a cliff...

OK. So, it's her fault. It was the transgender brownshirts (or bluebirds, I guess) who started this entire problem, and started drawing the attention of alt-media people like Pool & Rogan to begin with.

On the one hand, sounds like a money grab. On the other hand, fingerprinting and background checking people who are going to be in prolonged contact with kids doesn't seem unreasonable, although from your description it may have gone too far. However, when you have sex abuse scandals like the Catholic Church going public then there's a good possibility for draconian measures to be taken for both risk management and PR purposes.

Just the opposite unless I'm mis-reading. I've always assumed other places promoted based entirely on kinship and rank (see also: our Betters), just that it hadn't really taken hold in the U.S. Another moron wrote a great point the other day about how standing in line is an equalizer, and the "fast pass" buy your way to the front of rollercoasters and ferris wheels goes against everything it means to be American. I really liked his post because it brought something in focus that I couldn't see clearly before. He's right, though. The millionaire in the suit should wait in line behind the guy in overalls, because we're all Americans and all equal. Well, we were. Well, that's what we dumb middle class idiots were raised to believe.
I've had my eyes opened to so many things in the last five years. I sort of hate seeing everything in the bright light of understanding that we're just like the rest of the world now.

For those wondering what lawyers forced on Catholic parents...
PS - I refuse to do it...so we volunteer for Catholic kids outside of the Catholic Church. I'll be da&ned if I accuse the free help of being a criminal and making them sit through "I'm an idiot" training for 4 hours every year BEFORE they can even actually volunteer to help. When I used to run events, I learned you don't put extra burdens on volunteers, you put praise...but lawyers don't think that way...
PPS - And priests aren't a part of this - you know the folks who ACTUALLY abused people...
But at least the lawyers get paid a ton to run this every year...

Are they actually non-American or just Americans of Indian heritage?
Someone mentioned Indians importing Marxism / Communism
I believe this is incorrect. The issue is that the vast majority of world has and accepts more or less authoritarian cultures. Even among the West, the American conception of freedom is foreign to most.
Plus these Indians in high places probably got their educations at Ivy League schools, which you can thank for their commie behavior. Anyone of any other race coming from those cesspools would do the same.

"She has described her childhood as having been affected by the Ku Klux Klan presence in Beaumont, so much that her Indian father was required to get permission from the local Klan before he could go door-to-door for solicit insurance."
Keep in mind she was not born in 1925 but 1974 and grew up Beaumont, Texas. I have never been to Beaumont but I am thinking the KKK in the 80's and 90's mostly happened out if a field with a keg of beer. She sounds like a victim of her histrionic imagination. And just like that her bawling her eyes out over not being able control twitrage makes sense.

The millionaire can buy a private experience at most all theme parks. You get a behind the scenes tour/tour guide/cuts and get to see things general admission tickets don't. Look at the website for San Diego zoo and search for private experience or something.
But we are all at the same park. The rich also used to rent a disabled person to get cuts at disneyland.

Effectively what the US is getting is a majority of economic migrants especially at the top end instead of those wanting to come here for an open society based on liberty and merit. They end up recreating their societies back home as a result and modern communication today makes it even easier to never assimilate in values or history. It is also a reason that 2nd and 3rd generation often have issues where previously assimilation would start to take hold.

That was ours, too. When my kid wouldn't leave his 1st kindergarten CCD class b/c he thought he couldn't come back (and he had so much fun), he's crying on the floor holding a table. I took the Virtus lady aside and said I'm going in and helping the teacher, and I talked my kid out. I pretty much dared her to get me in trouble (and since I saved the teacher...well, it passed).
And yes, I have told this to my Church - the solution was sunshine and we put in more darkness and shadow. I refuse to be part of that "solution" and I work against it EVERY chance I get.

The Pfizer document dump that people have been working through is showing that people and news agencies/reporters who were being banned were 100% correct in their statements.
People were fired for not getting the shots that Pfizer and the government knew in February of 2021 were no more effective than natural immunity, but no one could talk about it.
We are where we are today in regards to the stolen election, the war, the stock market, etc. as a nation because of censorship. If we were allowed to openly discuss topics we would not be here.

I feel like you could compete for a job, and if we needed you to fill a position that no one in the U.S. was trained and qualified for, I would hope we could get you to come here instead of Greenland.
I just can't help but wonder why U.S. born systems administrators and engineers are so poorly educated that we need to import so many people to do their jobs that American universities apparently didn't prepare them for.

Right? Stelter must be really losing it after that CNN+ thing. Being a media critic (as if that's a real job anyway) after your own network chalks up a landmark business failure so bad that it will taught about in classrooms for years must be tough. All the more so, if that failure was predicated on a business model involving 5 hours of *you* per day.

--------------------------
Trends continue until they don't and there is never any historical determinism. It is always a choice by any society to self destruct and that generally happens when people look at a society (including its existing citizens) as something to be looted now rather than preserve it for the future. Happened to the Hapsburg Empire, happened on a smaller scale to Yugoslavia--both imploded over ethnic differences. Rome, while often cited, is a different case because for a long time, Rome, like the US, held to the idea of citizenship not being necessarily tied to blood and land.

Part of the reason is that there are things Americans don't want to study, especially at an advanced level. E.g., engineering, math, and hard sciences.

Not necessarily true. The thing about coming to the US is that it is a functioning society. Most third world countries are not, and lots of people are trying to emigrate elsewhere as a result.
I would say, aside from general masses who are poor, the ones who stay there are usually super rich and privileged because they will have a cushier life there.

India is a country of close to a billion people, many of whom have good educations. It has a stilted social order dominated by ancient superstitions, and its hinterlands are perpetually poor.
I have a feeling they are not necessarily allocating their human capital in the optimal ways. I'm sure much of it gets wasted by ventilating it into Western states, where opportunity isn't limited by the fact that your grandfather was a shoemaker.

I was extremely well paid as an H1-B holder, as was my brother. I understand there are abuses, but most people I know who were on H1-Bs were at the very least decently paid.
Posted by: chique l'African Viking Math Queen King of Greenland, the Merciless (don't/stop/believin') at April 26, 2022 06:37 PM (cpMW3)
But decently paid for the actual job in the actual location, or just decently paid as an American.
Most companies farm out the work on H1-Bs b/c they want the benefits of being under US law with US security while not having to pay for US workers...that's gotta stop.
H1-Bs should be required to make 25% more than the average worker in the field in the particular locale. If they are that needed and precious, they should be paid accordingly.

One day, he'll want a promotion and hear "Kshatriya, huh? Why don't you join the army? This office is for us, not you."

If you're any good at all, you'll do fine. Most of the H1Bs I've worked with have to be hammered over the head for YEARS to understand they need to report back when they're stuck, that they need to report back when they're done, disappearing without notice isn't acceptable, and when you ask them to do something, using a strictly literal interpretation of that instruction to do the minimum amount possible isn't acceptable.

Are you really going to argue that the ability of a MegaCorp to import a worker from a country where the average wage is like $10 a day is not going to drive down salaries for people in that profession in the US?
it's not even a question.
Look at Disney that just made their existing employees train their foreign H1B1 replacements, then fired everyone .

Well paid for the position and location. By law, H1-Bs are not supposed to be paid less than a similar American. (Not that there aren't ways to skirt the laws. I have a couple of H1-B folks on my team. They are paid well.
I'm not saying there are no scummy situations, but for companies that actually need the non-American labor (usually from people who attended a US university or one in the West), I believe it's usually different.

What has happened to k-12 US education is one culprit. Welfare benefits are another along with the collapse of the nuclear family. Stagnation in wages due to government overspending chronically make things worse.
Secondary consequences are the need to import workers to do the jobs that a) people on welfare do not want to do and b) import the workers that our educational system is not able to supply. Those secondary consequences make the collapse in education even worse over time and swell the welfare burden simultaneously. Other labor restrictions can make matters of labor market inefficiency worse along with increasing societal friction internally.
Each individual sees the problem from their individual perspective but what is needed is a systems approach to the problem which generally means everyone's ox is going to get gored and a lot of sacred cows get sacrificed.
