Twitter Employee Tells Followers To Block Conservatives, Calls For Abolishing Police

An editorial employee at Twitter told his 65,000 followers on the platform to block and quit engaging with conservatives and “let them shout into the void.”

“Their entire business model is built off of your engagement, attention, and outrage,” wrote Sam Stryker, whose LinkedIn profile identifies him as the editorial lead for the company’s division on entertainment content. “Block them and go!”

Stryker was writing in response to Fox Nation Host Tomi Lahren trending on the platform for remarks following the verdict in the high-profile murder trial of George Floyd Tuesday. Former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty on all counts. In response, leftist activists re-emphasized their demands to defund the police, attempting to paint Chauvin as an illustrative of law enforcement nationwide.
