Jack Dorsey: Musk’s Twitter Profiles: “There’s Nothing To Hide”

Jack Dorsey replied to Elon Musk’s alleged offer of “Twitter Files”, and he did Rahim’s article Not Written as a Twitter thread. The former CEO and co-founder of the social network, he states that he believes that the company has nothing to hide. This is contrary to how the files were presented. He also said that he wishes the information was “disseminated WikiLeaks Style” and requested that Twitter employees not be harassed for any perceived abuse. His article promotes Bitcoin and his own social networking protocol.

Dorsey’s response follows Elon Musk spending more than a week in promotion five selective document releaseAlso known as Twitter filesThe documents include Slack logs and internal documents. These emails also show emails about things such as Twitter’s removal Donald Trump after the Jan. 6 riots. The threads and Musk’s promotion of them have taken on an almost conspiratorial tone. It portrays Twitter’s longtime leadership team and staff as in a deal with the government to silence Twitter users.

Dorsey clearly disagrees. He wrote that while “mistakes were made” in Twitter’s case, he believes that the company had no ill intentions, hidden agendas, or that everyone was acting from the best information available at the time.

Dorsey addresses issues related to how the files were given to journalists who published excerpts and reported on them later in the post. “I still wish Twitter, and every company, became uncomfortably transparent in all of their actions,” Dorsey writes, adding that he wishes the files had “more eyes and interpretations to consider.” It’s an interesting request, because it’s basically asking for receipts from his own company, as my co-worker Adi Robertson described while we were discussing the article – it seems likely that Dorsey is fully aware of the kind of decision-making process that the full document-dump would reveal, and he doesn’t think it will be All that damned.

While Dorsey is very open about his views on transparency and moderation, it’s likely that he wants more transparency because Musk and others have used carefully chosen documents to attack former Twitter employees. Dorsey refers to this indirectly by saying “the current attack on my former coworkers can be serious, and solve nothing”, but Dorsey’s description doesn’t accurately describe how bad it was. CNN reported on MondayThat Former President of Trust and Safety Yoel RothMusk’s hint that he supported pedophilia through now-deleted tweets led to him having to leave his home. Musk as chargedOther former Twitter employees have also been identified as not doing anything to stop child trafficking.

The Twitter Files posts have hurt in other ways — in a few cases, imperfect censorship of leaked contact information for politicians, Twitter employees, and Dorsey himself.

This isn’t the first time Dorsey has apologised for what happened after he quit Twitter – last month He said he was responsibleMusk’s initial wave Mass layoffsHe said it was necessary because the company had grown so quickly. earlier in the year Dorsey saidMusk was the only solution he believed could run Twitter as an organization. He said that he believed Musk’s mission to “expand the light of consciousness” was a good idea. Although it doesn’t appear that he’s fully retracting that statement, he is a challengeYou can find more information at Few of Musk’s remarksHis last post.

Dorsey’s post isn’t just about Twitter. He uses it to announce his $1 million annual donation to Signal encrypted messaging app and to solicit feedback about other grants he could make in the areas “social media, private communication protocols, Bitcoin, and a web only mobile operating system.”

Dorsey, too Working on a decentralized social media protocol called BlueskyThe founder’s thoughts on social media and how it should work are also mentioned in the post. He says he hasn’t been in a position to implement these ideas in Twitter because it is a public company. Its principles include preventing corporations and governments from interfering in conversations, making sure moderation decisions are made on a “local” level, and allowing people to choose their ranking algorithms or not using one.

“Any content someone produces for the Internet should be permanent until the original author chooses to delete it,” says one particularly surprising statement from Dorsey, adding that “removal and suspension of content should not be possible.” He acknowledges that the situation can create “important issues” when it comes to things like “illegal activity” (what happens when that situation comes up against someone posting pedophilia material, or revenge porn?However, he believes that the ideal solution is “It allows for much more better solutions than what we have today.”
