Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey says blocking New York Post story was ‘wrong’

Wrong, no kidding. I might believe him when I read about the termination of those responsible. Alternately if he's removed by the board. Banning the number 1 paper in the country by circulation isn't a minor error. Losing their 230 exemption is a serious business setback to which this "error" contributes.

[Mr. K]

Duhhhhhhhhhh… ya think?

“I’m sorry I got caught.”

Easy fix Jack. Unblock it. Take responsibility and tell your censors to knock it off.

[chuckee]

Thanks for calling everyone’s attention to it, Jack. You lose.

Time to break the company up and Twitter the pieces into the wind

[Mr. K]

So are they going to restore all the accounts they blocked?

[LoveMyFreedom]

I agree. Want action not words. Fire the people who did it and step down from Twitter and let the article get posted. Note: The algorithm better have not been revised.

[Enlightened1]

He is guilty election meddling 101.

Too late Jack.

I guess being CEO means he can get millions of dollars to sit on the sidelines and make inane comments without taking any responsibility.

Thanks for helping Biden lose the election.

[Trueblackman]

Twitter is complete trash and a arm of the radical Pro-Socialist Wing of the Democrat Party.

Whoa there partner.

There are lots of principled conservatives who let me know in no uncertain terms that Twitter is a private company and that if we don't like it we should start our own company.

" . . .Our goal is to attempt to add context, and now we have capabilities to do that,” Dorsey said in a tweet.

That's a pretty clear admission that they are not just a platform for information- they are involved in editorial decisions. They should be treated as publishers, and should have no protection from libel. That means they are responsible for every tweet that is made, by anyone.

This action put Twitter in a bad position legally.

And the CEO knows it.

[allendale]

Dorsey has no real control of his rabid, leftist employees. They continue to block and censor. Either that or Dorsey is a pathetic, hypocritical liar. Both are probably true.

[a fool in paradise]

It is a monopoly and was granted “protection” from liability lawsuits because they claimed they were a common carrier and did not censor such access.

This is false. Time to bust up the monopoly.

Buying up everything in sight squashes competition. Same as when Facebook’s been doing it. And they also censored sharing of the NYPost article.

People are already voting. This is affecting the election.

[The MAGA-Deplorian]

Exactly. Strip themof 230 exemption! Time to sue these tyrants out of buisness.
