Leaked audio from Project Veritas was “edited” and “misrepresented” Twitter’s company views, according to the tech platform’s CMO.

“Hi! At every Twitter global all-hands, I read real-time Qs that come in from our employees. It’s always open and unfiltered. An audio clip of me reading was leaked, edited and misrepresented as my (and the company’s) views,” Leslie Berland tweeted on Tuesday.

“Transparency and openness is core to who we are and I’m going to continue to give a platform for questions and feedback from employees,” she wrote.

Audio from a meeting, released on Tuesday, showed Berland asking Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal and Twitter Independent Board Member Bret Taylor questions from staff.

Project Veritas released a one-minute trailer ahead of releasing a full 45-minute version. The exchange between Berland and Agrawal shows Berland saying “Elon made it clear in public that a large part of the reason he bought the platform was because of our moderation policies and disagreements in how we deal with health. This puts Twitter service and Trust and Safety, as well as anybody who cares about health on the platform, in a very difficult position.”

Transparency and openness is core to who we are and I’m going to continue to give a platform for questions and feedback from employees. That is all, getting back to work ✌️

“Question back to you, Parag. Elon made it clear in public that a large part of the reason he bought the platform was because of our moderation policies and disagreements in how we deal with health, something that we place in value very highly within the company. This puts Twitter service and Trust and Safety, as well as anybody who cares about health on the platform, in a very difficult position. Can you speak your thoughts on this and how those teams will be supported?” Berland said.

Taylor did acknowledge that much of the Twitter staff was indeed in shock over how quickly things unfolded with Musk.

“I also just want to acknowledge all the emotions of today. It is an emotional day. I want to acknowledge it,” Taylor said.
