“Trump’s blocking of Twitter is wrong,” says founder Jack Dorsey

Twitter co-founder, Jack Dorsey, admitted on Tuesday that he should not allow the Donald Trump from the social networking platform.

He acknowledged that the move was a mistake after Elon Musk said he would reopen Trump’s account and that Dorsey had agreed that there should be no permanent bans.

“I agree,” Dorsey wrote on Twitter, who was still in charge of Twitter when Trump was ousted in January 2021, at the end of his presidency. He noted, however, that there were “exceptions”, citing child sexual exploitation, illegal behavior or network manipulation.

“But in general, permanent bans are our failure and they do not work,” he said.

He also agreed with another user who wrote on Twitter that it is “short-sighted” for “a handful of social media companies” to operate as “Guardians of political discourse”. “It was a business decision, it should not have been,” Dorsey wrote of Trump’s ban, saying he believed “permanent ban on individuals’ is’ directionally ‘wrong.”

He also responded to another comment on Trump’s ban that “businesses should not make these decisions.” “I say that a company should not make such a decision from the beginning. [Όχι] “for something as important as public debate,” Dorsey wrote.
