‘Was This Correct?’ Twitter’s Dorsey Asks About Banning Trump and Then Says ‘Yes’
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey took to (where else?) Twitter to ask the question “Was this correct?” regarding his company’s decision to ban U.S. President Donald Trump from the platform following last week’s attack on the Capitol.
After that opening expression of doubt, he proceeded to answer that yes, it was.
- Dorsey then, in a thoughtful multipartite thread, laid out his rationale for the action, trying to square his belief in open unfiltered communication with the act of silencing the president of the U.S..
- He also declared his “passion” for bitcoin in almost lyrical fashion.
- Bitcoin, he wrote, offers a model of “a foundational internet technology that is not controlled or influenced by any single individual or entity. This is what the internet wants to be, and over time, more of it will be.”
