Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey on Friday lamented that conservative employees at the social media giant “don’t feel safe” to freely express their political opinions at work.
“I mean, we have a lot of conservative-leaning folks in the company as well, and to be honest, they don’t feel safe to express their opinions at the company,” Mr. Dorseytold New York University professor Jay Rosen during Friday’s episode of “Recode Media with Peter Kafka.”
“They do feel silenced by just the general swirl of what they perceive to be the broader percentage of leanings within the company, and I don’t think that’s fair or right,” the Twitter chief said. “We should make sure that everyone feels safe to express themselves within the company, no matter where they come from and what their background is.
“I mean, my dad was a Republican,” he added. “When I was growing up, was on the radio all the time with Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, so my mom was on the opposite end of the spectrum … and I always felt safe to challenge both of them, especially my dad, and so it was definitely a privilege, but if we’re creating a culture that doesn’t enable people or empower people to speak up or not, we’re gonna be able to do that for our service.”
Last week, Mr. Dorsey defended Twitter on Capitol Hill against allegations of anti-conservative bias, telling Congress that his company builds policies and rules “with a principle of impartiality” and objectivity.

If by laments, you mean laughing his ass off, then OK.
maybe because they know Libs are vindictive nasty bastards to the core
My former church was an unsafe place for conservative opinion. I didn’t mind the disagreement. I left because they tolerated bullying.
Oh, it's faulty perception on the part folks not on board with the progressive/socialist agenda.
So old Jack will lure them into the open...it's a trap.
If by laments, they mean, fostered this environment, I’d say “spot on”.
He laments it, because if they shared their opinions, they could be identified and fired.
How many republicans, conservatives, and Trump supporters have been targeted by restaurants, by teachers/professors, by the social media companies, and generally by the thugs of Obama’s globalist left? Given those very large numbers, I don’t blame those decent people who won’t openly stand up for what they believe.
The beautiful secret is that as long as this stays true, we don’t have to worry about Trump supporters drifting away. They cannot engage with America’s enemies, so they cannot be tricked into supporting the totalitarian left.
Sounds like “Yeah, I know some Republicans. I let them mow my lawn and clean my house. Why, even my Dad was a Republican.”
Cracks me up!
I wonder why...
I’m beginning to wonder if @Jack has any real control of the censorship apparatus on his site?
But more and more I appreciate the wisdom of “old -fashioned” Jim Robinson for not floating onto a cloud preserving absolute control of our Free Republic servers. Sending my annual contribution now.
Jack: Ok ban any Twitter account that dares post conservative views. Now, I wonder just why do my employees feel like they can’t express opposing opinions in the workplace?
My last employer was like that. The HR Department invited the entire company to have milk and cookies to celebrate Harvey Milk Day.
Thank God I’m not there. An HR Dept asking the company to come celebrate perversion. How’s that for inclusion and diversity? “You conservatives, we do t give a rat’s ass how you feel.”
Well fix it, ya asswipe!
“The HR Department invited the entire company to have milk and cookies to celebrate Harvey Milk Day.”
I worked in HR for a city, and our boss told us we were expected to attend the “commitment ceremony” of a lesbian employee and her partner. Phooey on that. Of course I didn’t go, and the three years between that day and my retirement were not pleasant.
Lip service. The very same lip service recently seen at Google’s cry fest after “they lost” (Hillary lost). Weeping and worrying about what was going to “happen to us” now, and then, laughably, pretending that they are suprised and concerned that conservatives don’t feel safe having their political views. Disgusting lip service meant to cover them from lawsuits.
"...How’s that for inclusion and diversity..."
Twitter reportedly banned the use of the term “illegal alien.” What’s up with that, Jack?
Thank you very much, The Westerner!! Greatly appreciated.
Mine too. I left. They are a social justice organization, not a church.
