“The claim was making throughout the interview about Twitter taking action on behalf of anti-trans harassment did go in circles because Gadde and Pool did not agree with a basic premise that a trans woman is a woman and that misgendering or dead naming a trans person is a form of symbolic violence,” Donovan said in a direct message. She said that the meme’s particular topic centered on “deadnaming,” the practice of using transgender people’s pre-transition names as a form of abuse. Joan Donovan, research director at Harvard’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy, immediately recognized the meme from Rogan’s podcast. In it, Gadde walks through questions about people who were banned, many of whom violated any number of Twitter’s policies. The interview is especially striking considering Twitter’s usual strategic communications about platform moderation. The podcast episode that the meme is taken from runs for more than three hours. “I think that adds to the perception that his current audience or base may have, which is that he uses the internet like the rest of us, to send jokes and jump in with snide commentary,” Holt said. In the middle is a logo for Rogan’s podcast. Pool responds that Twitter’s interpretation of the context is biased, to which Gadde says she needs to see an example, leading to the original part in which Pool offers an example. In the first, Pool puts forward an unidentified example of “Twitter’s left wing bias,” which Gadde, in the second part, says has to be taken in context. In the meme’s image, Pool and Gadde are stuck in a circle with four parts. The meme (above) is a reference to an episode of Joe Rogan’s podcast from March 2019 in which Vijaya Gadde, Twitter’s head of legal, policy and trust, and Jack Dorsey, then CEO, discussed the company’s moderation efforts alongside Tim Pool, a far-right YouTube creator who has claimed that Twitter’s moderation efforts were biased against conservatives. But behind its meaning and origin are details that help explain Musk’s suggestions that he’d like to undo much of Twitter’s moderation efforts and revert the platform to a free speech focus. It’s a meme that has circulated on conservative social media for years, though to the average person it might be difficult to decipher.
