Unsure if you’re asking who is running twitter or what’s meant by ‘inmates’ so will attempt to answer both.

I suspect it’s marketing people / short-sighted profit minded people rather than the legal team running the place.

And if you are asking about inmates meaning, it’s an idiom, “the inmates are running the asylum” meaning the least useful/knowledgeable people have taken over from the competent.

Thanks :)

Glad to help. Which one was it you wanted to know?

I think both / either work in this context, though it seems obvious the inmates running the asylum was the intention now you mention it.

I think inmates would be a good dysphemism for the legal department too.

Word of the day, thanks!
