This exec was central to banning Trump on Twitter. Now she's facing thorny issues in democracies abroad
CNN
Two months after former US President Donald Trump was inaugurated in 2017, Twitter executive Vijaya Gadde was asked how she felt about his proposition that he might not have won the White House without the social media platform.
"To me, there's nothing better than having a political discourse in plain and open view and having access to your elected officials, and being able to hold them accountable," Gadde, then Twitter's general counsel, told the audience at a New York University School of Law event. "In that sense, I think it's a great thing because this wasn't always possible before."
"Now," she added, "the consequences of that direct dialogue are unfolding in front of us and not something we could've quite predicted."
