    Sure

    That is the OG Effortpost, someone posted (re-posted?) essentially all of that a few days ago.

    When she was appointed to her position at Reddit, Jessica Ashooh never worked at a social media company before, had never held a senior position in a private sector company, and had spent the last 7 years working public sector jobs.

    Her immediate past position, from March 2015 - May 2017, was as Deputy Director Middle East Strategy Task Force at the Atlantic Council and before that from June 2011 to February 2015 she was a Senior Analyst at the Policy Planning Department of the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs

    As this internal CIA document made publically available by FOIA shows, The Atlantic Council, is a CIA front.

    Totally normal things, someone who worked for a CIA front and the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs just becoming head of moderation at a massive social media site despite 0 relevant experience.

    Oh also, bonus:

    “I know what it’s like to live under censorship,” she said. “My internal check, when I’m arguing for a restrictive policy on the site, is Do I sound like an Arab government? If so, maybe I should scale it back.” On the other hand, she said, “people hide behind the notion that there’s a bright line between ideology and action, but some ideologies are inherently more violent than others.”

    My internal check, when I’m arguing for a restrictive policy on the site, is Do I sound like an Arab government? If so, maybe I should scale it back.

    Do I sound like an Arab government? If so, maybe I should scale it back.
