(ANSA) – SAN FRANCISCO (USA), JAN 14 – Twitter founder and patron Jack Dorsey sees the decision to ban outgoing US President Donald Trump from the platform as “the right one”, but that it continues being a “failure” and “setting a dangerous precedent” in corporate power.
It is a “failure on our part to foster healthy conversation,” Dorsey tweeted in a series of messages reconsidering the social network’s decision to indefinitely ban Trump for encouraging violence on the US Capitol. These types of measures “divide us.
They limit the possibilities of explaining themselves, of redeeming themselves, of learning, “he continued.” And it creates a precedent that I think is dangerous: the power that an individual or company has over part of the global public conversation. Twitter was the main communication tool. communication from the tycoon, who used it daily to directly reach his 88 million followers. He was also suspended from Facebook, Snapchat, and Twitch. And for a week also on YouTube. But Twitter’s decision is by far the most iconic. Dorsey notes that the balance of power was respected as long as “people could just turn to another service if our rules and our application of them did not suit them.” But “this concept was questioned last week, when several other providers of essential Internet tools have also decided not to host what they considered dangerous,” he admits (ANSA).
