Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey has admitted that he should never have allowed then-President Donald Trump to be banned from his social media giant. The tech titan conceded Tuesday it was the wrong move after Elon Musk, Twitters presumptive new owner, said he would reinstate Trumps account and that Dorsey agreed that there shouldnt be permanent bans. I do agree, tweeted Dorsey, who was still at the helm when Trump was banned in January 2021 at the end of his presidency. He said there are exceptions, listing sexual exploitation of children, illegal behavior or network manipulation. But generally permanent bans are a failure of ours and dont work, he said.

Dorsey also said he agreed with another user who tweeted that its short-sighted for a handful of social media companies to act as gatekeepers to political discourse. It was a business decision, it shouldnt have been, Dorsey wrote of Trumps ban, saying he believes that permanent bans of individuals are directionally wrong. He also replied to another comment about Trumps ban that businesses should not be making these decisions. Im saying a corporation should not have to make this decision in the first place. [N]ot for something as important as public conversation, Dorsey wrote. His argument received widespread support, with many saying he should have realized the error while still at the head of the company. Dorsey quickly dismissed one critic of his new theory who asked why it was so wrong to ban someone from a social media platform when people are commonly banned from gathering places like a bar or a ballpark. Twitter isnt a bar, Dorsey noted bluntly.

Billions of dollars will change your opinions

insurrection is just "political discourse" now huh...

Has he seen some comment sections on Twitter?

Let it be known that no one shall be banned from Twitter until after their sentencing in a court of law.

Awesome :)

Parler/Gab/Telegram/TRUTH or whatever platforms Nazis who got banned for being Nazis use currently are all about to collapse as they all come thundering back into Twitter, welcomed with open arms.

Christ what a fucking coward. Dude literally used his platform to attempt to destroy democracy.

A young Adolf Hitler spent a mere nine months in prison for inciting a violent coup attempt against the sitting government. I once thought this to be the worst example of an ineffectual justice system in the developed world. But Donald Trump does the same and the United States can't even commit to the consequence of taking away his fucking Twitter account.

Twitter was a mistake and Jack is a joke.

Nothing says "democracy" quite like coordinated misinformation firehosing designed to shut down rational discourse.

Boy, Jack sure does love slurping orange popsicles.

Seems to be working so far.

But when you're paid to not have a spine, I suppose it makes sense he sees it that way.

The near-future looks pretty damn dire.

For once I agree with the rat.

What was he actually banned for?
It's been so long that I forgot what it was that finally did him in :V
