The former head censor at Twitter is now a victim, apparently.

Yoel Roth has become the unwilling star of the Twitter Files, as Elon Musk exposes Roth’s censorious ways when he was the head of the “Trust & Safety” division.1 And the poor fellow isn’t enjoying his newfound infamy:

Why delete the evidence of Roth’s innocence?
