> I don't know, I guess it's possible? Maybe you have a better idea for how it could be happening, but it just doesn't seem very likely at all.
I’ve seen this kind of thought pattern a few times and frankly the way you are thinking doesn’t match reality.
I work on a 1000+ person enterprise software project.
Less than 5% of those 1000+ understand our customers requirements and use cases in any real depth. This is despite trying for years to incentivise developers to have a broader understanding of our business.
Within that core 5% most decisions are driven by the 3-5 people who care about the particular area.
So for a 1000 person+ org you would need to corrupt 3-4 people to drive a hidden agenda.
This is for a project not trying to be secretive in any way.
To relate it back to Twitter you would probably need the right 3-4 people to push hard for content moderators to be hired in San Francisco instead of Bangalore in order to push hard left views.
