Washington [US], April 30 : Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey on Friday (local time) went on a tweetstorm in which he spoke about the microblogging site\u2019s shortcomings, including a permanent ban on certain users on the platform.<\/p>\n
Taking responsibility for every decision taken by the platform, he said, \u201cI have tried taking a break from Twitter recently, but I must say the company has always tried to do its best given the information it had. Every decision we made was ultimately my responsibility. In the cases when we were wrong or went too far, we admitted it and worked to correct them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reflecting on the platform\u2019s shortcomings, he said it is important to get critical feedback. \u201cSome things can be fixed immediately, and others require rethinking and reimplementing the entire system. It is important to me that we get critical feedback in all forms, but also important that we get the space and time to address it. All of that should be done publicly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He further spoke about the user trust in Twitter and said that a transparent system, both in policy and operations, is the right way to earn trust.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhether it\u2019s owned by a company or an open protocol doesn\u2019t matter as much as deliberately deciding to be open about every decision and why it was made. It\u2019s not easy to do, but it must happen,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Acknowledging his failure in correcting shortcomings, he said, \u201cDoing this work means you\u2019re in the arena. Nothing that is said now matters. What matters is how the service works and acts, and how quickly it learns and improves. My biggest failing was that quickness part. I\u2019m confident that part at least is being addressed, and will be fixed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Noting that an individual or a company should not bear the brunt of flaws in service, Dorsey said that he does not believe in a permanent ban against certain users on Twitter. \u201cIt\u2019s also crazy and wrong that individuals or companies bear this responsibility. As I\u2019ve said before, I don\u2019t believe any permanent ban (with the exception of illegal activity) is right or should be possible. This is why we need a protocol that\u2019s resilient to the layers above,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Notably, after Tesla Chief Elon Musk succeeded in his bid to take over Twitter, the former CEO of the microblogging site had dropped a series of tweets, suggesting that he supports the move<\/p>\n
Dorsey called Musk buying Twitter a step in the right direction for the website.<\/p>\n
For those unaware, Dorsey, the maverick co-founder of Twitter, on November 29, 2021, had suddenly announced his resignation. Parag Agarwal, an IITian, who was CTO at Twitter, was named his replacement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
