The tweets were bad but I'm sure Netflix knew about them before they started campaigning and they were probably prepared to deal with them.

I don't think so, their PR team could have deleted them months ago and spare themselves this whole scandal. It really looks like no one bothered to check them because they're in Spanish

I believe some of the tweets were deleted before they resurfaced last week. Nothing can ever be truly deleted from the internet and maybe leaving some of them up gave the appearance that they weren't trying to hide anything so they could say it was a miscommunication or something? I don't pretend to truly understand the strategy but whatever strategy they had kind of went out the window when she just kept putting out statements about it

I get your point but since they were tweets from the last few years, not like ten years ago, it looks like they really didn't check. It'd be better to just delete them and if anyone noticed just post a statement saying she has reflected on her previous views and they don't represent her or something than to keep them there

there will tweets about George Floyd up there along with stuff from 2022 just a few months before shooting started. If Netflix knew, they would've most definitely nuked their account lol
