“Does this affect our approach to Trump?”
Another Alethea analyst is Patrick Conlon. From 2019 to 2022, Conlon was Twitter’s Global Lead of Threat Intelligence, where he ran Twitter’s “Threat Disruption” group. According to his bio, Conlon “also guided the process of selecting investigations for public disclosure in the Twitter Moderation Research Consortium.”
Before that, from 2013 to 2019, Conlon worked for the Defense Department as an intelligence analyst and linguist. According to Conlon’s LinkedIn profile, he speaks eight languages, including Russian, Ukrainian, and Chinese.
The Twitter Files show Conlon urging more censorship on multiple occasions within Twitter.
After Yoel Roth tells Conlon that “Jack just approved repeat offender for civic integrity, Conlon replies, “Progress! Does this affect our approach to Trump, who I think that we publicly said had one remaining strike? Or does the incitement to violence aspect change that calculus?”
Shortly after, Conlon celebrates efforts to identify January 6 protesters. Conlon messages Roth to say, “One thing that’s made me smile today is that people in DC are getting on Bumble and other dating services to chat with protesters/rioters to gather info and send it to law enforcement.”
