Twitter once described itself as “the free speech wing of the free speech party.”
But they’ve become more like the book burning Nazi Party they used to abhor.
Now even Twitter’s founder Jack Dorsey realizes shutting down free speech on the internet is a bad idea.
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
An internet platform where people could, in a few characters, express themselves freely.
And others could like, or dislike, and respond.
And initially it was a great idea and it exploded.
But then like many good ideas, the socialists and Karnes got involved and things went from good to bad real quick.
It got so bad they began censoring and then even banned a sitting U.S. President because some people thought he was “mean.”
And Twitter then started banning political ideas and commentary they simply disagreed with – no matter how true or factual.
They even decided to work to get Joe Biden elected president by refusing to allow posts about the Hunter Biden laptop story, claiming it was “fake news.”
Well, now we know what we knew then – it was all too real and the execs at Twitter knew it too.
They knowingly banned tweets about Hunter Biden and even banned accounts, all in a concerted effort to influence the presidential election.
And it only got worse from there.
Twitter has banned U.S. Congressmen, shut down countless conservative accounts, and even removed posts that are 100% scientifically and factually true only because some pointy headed Karen fact checking groomer at Twitter didn’t like it.
Dorsey’s successor at Twitter, Parag Agrawal, has gone on a rampage of removing and locking out conservative and libertarian accounts over perceived “violations.”
And has even said it is not Twitter’s “role to be bound by the First Amendment.”
Now, about two years too late Jack Dorsey issued a big “oops.”
Dorsey says he has regrets about the social media monolith he co-founded.
Dorsey, who announced his plans to leave Twitter last November, recently tweeted that he feels guilty about the role his company has played in creating a centralized internet, where a small handful of companies and platforms control a huge proportion of users and their data.
With some 217 million daily users, Twitter certainly qualifies as one of those mega platforms, joining the other tech titans like Meta (Facebook), Alphabet (Google), and Amazon.
“I realize I’m partially to blame, and regret it,” Dorsey wrote in his April 2 tweet.
Well, Jack, it seems like it’s too little too late.
