Put the line in the context, and include the actual quotes from the former employees and executives:
> If Twitter’s co-founders had known what it would become, a third former executive told me, “you never would have built it on a Fisher-Price infrastructure.” Instead of building a product that could scale alongside the platform, former employees say, Twitter papered over its problems by hiring more moderators. “Because this is just an ass-backward tech company, let’s throw non-scalable, low-tech solutions on top of this low-tech, non-scalable problem.”
It sounds like the original people who spoke to the journalist left the impression that there were deficiencies in the base technology which may have led to the current circumstances.
