Peter Greenberger, former global director of content partnership for Twitter, was on CNN on Tuesday where he declared that the platform should “silence President Trump until a winner in the election is determined.”
“Extreme times demand extreme suggestions,” said Greenberger to host Jake Tapper. “I did not come to this opinion lightly. I believe tech companies generally have a responsibility to be neutral. I think in the case of Twitter especially, it’s been a great champion of information as well as a strong supporter of freedom of expression. However, we are in a unique, and, I believe, a fraught moment in time with a president who is desperate and he’s facing a very difficult situation. I think the time is to mute the president temporarily while votes are being cast right now and until the winner is decided.”
