Twitter founder Jack Dorsey said today that he supports Tesla CEO Elon Musk's decision to restore the twitter account of former president Donald Trump. Dorsey said that Twitter's decision to permanently block Trump's account was morally wrong and quite stupid. Last January, after the riots in the US Congress, twitter permanently blocked Trump's account.
Musk said earlier today that he would restore Trump's account after the acquisition of twitter was completed. Musk will buy twitter for $44 billion, which is currently awaiting approval from shareholders and regulators and is expected to be completed by the end of this year.
Musk said in an interview today that he had discussed with Dorsey the issue of "permanently banning user accounts on twitter". "Dorsey and I agreed that we should not easily issue a permanent ban. These places should be reserved for robot accounts or spam fraud accounts," Musk said
Later, Dorsey confirmed this on twitter. "The opportunity for a permanent ban should be left to accounts such as' child sexual exploitation / abuse ', illegal behavior, spam or cyber manipulation. Generally speaking, if a permanent ban is used, it is our failure," he said
For Dorsey's remarks, technology journalist Dan PR IMAC k) Questioned. Because Dorsey said last year that it was the right thing to block Trump's account, although it was somewhat regrettable.
Dorsey responded: "it's a business decision. It shouldn't have been." Dorsey added: "we should review this decision and make changes if necessary."
Dorsey also supports Musk on the acquisition of twitter. Musk is the "only solution" to lead twitter, he said.
Although musk is ready to restore Trump's Twitter account, trump may not use it anymore. Trump said last month that if musk restored his twitter account, he would not come back. In February this year, trump has launched his own social platform "truth social".
