Twitter's Former Head of Trust, Safety, and Policy Vijaya Gadde was a joke who was pushed around by authoritarians (including puritans, to some extent).

We have to remember that when companies like Twitter, or Facebook, got pushed around, they would come up with a PR excuse to justify their decisions. Oh, they are concerned about "safety" (a nebulous concept).

Facebook was an even bigger joke, readily bending to authoritarians the world over, and eager to build tools of censorship. Be careful about romanticizing these people, perhaps they don't have Musk's personality, however, things still got worse under them.
