EXCLUSIVE — A 'misinformation' researcher's testimony behind closed doors to Congress on his group's suppression of speech before the 2020 election appears to contradict documents unearthed by lawmakers.
Alex Stamos, who previously held senior roles at Facebook and Yahoo, was the director until 2023 at the Stanford Internet Observatory, a group at Stanford University under congressional investigationon the Election Integrity Partnership, or EIP, with the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public. The EIP coordinated with the U.S.
In November 2020, Stamos pressed Ashooh on the idea of Reddit joining the platform, though she was reluctant, according to emails reviewed by the“There is a widely watched YouTube livestream replaying old videos and claiming they are of live violence in the streets between Biden and Trump supporters,” Stamos wrote to Ashooh on Nov.
“As I said, in my thousands of emails, I’m sure I misrepresented — made a mistake somewhere,” Stamos testified, noting Ashooh “possibly” interpreted the email as reading “that CISA was on Jira.” “I don’t know why that’s listed here,” Stamos testified. “It’s perhaps that it was individually forwarded or they were cc’d, but that they were added specifically to this ticket. I’m not sure.”
Meanwhile, other EIP Jira tickets mentioned CISA — including a ticket created in October 2020 and logged by an email account associated with the state of Washington’s secretary of state office. Still, Republicans asked Stamos in the June 2023 transcribed interview why the EIP was not informed of Twitter’s decision directly from the platform but rather by CISA, a government body.
