On Donald Trump, Jack Dorsey says he agrees with Elon Musk: Twitter not a bar

Elon Musk’s tentative plan to reinstate former US president Donald Trump’s account on Twitter has sparked a huge controversy as Trump’s account was permanently suspended in 2021 after the January 6 riot in US Capitol for his ‘involvement’ in inciting the violence. As Elon Musk said he and former CEO Jack Dorsey were on the same page that it was a bad idea to permanently ban someone from Twitter, Jack Dorsey took to Twitter and clarified his stance.

Though Jack Dorsey was the CEO when Twitter permanently suspended Donald Trump’s account, Jack Dorsey said he agrees with Elon Musk that permanent bans are a failure. “It was a business decision, it shouldn’t have been. and we should always revisit our decisions and evolve as necessary. I stated in that thread and still believe that permanent bans of individuals are directionally wrong,” Jack Dorsey said clarifying.

“As I said in the thread, we made the decision based on the information we had and what we thought best. impossible situation. I’m saying a corporation should not have to make this decision in the first place. not for something as important as public conversation,” Jack Dorsey explained.
