Mr. Dorsey, who the hell elected you and put you in charge of what the media are allowed to report and what the American people are allowed to hear, and why do you persist in behaving as a Democratic super PAC silencing views to the contrary of your political beliefs? Cruz asked Dorsey during a heated exchange on Wednesday.
Were not doing that, Dorsey responded. This is why I opened this hearing with calls for more transparency. We realized we need to earn trust more, we realized that more accountability is needed to show our intentions and to show the outcomes. So I hear the concerns and acknowledge them, but we want to fix it with more transparency.

Did Ted Cruz mention the Tucker Carlson Bobulinski interview and ask if Twitter was going to allow or repress tweets about those stories? This is the biggest treasonous scandal of the past 150 years and every mainstream outlet is suppressing it.
Dorsey stayed calm. He’d probably just smoked a doobie.
Intentions?? INTENTIONS?!?!?!
If your intentions are anything other than allow free discourse in a free country, then you need your plugged pulled!!
True but Hughes never had a nose ring.......LOL!
Ted Cruz: One last question, Do you collect your iron in jars?
Jack’s probably holed up in a converted missile silo in Montana and hoping nobody comes looking for him on November 4th.
Dorsey and the others are just taking the attitude that everyone knows what they are doing but nobody can do anything about it. Rather than give good responses, they consider it a badge of leftist honor to respond in ways that everyone knows are inadequate and to be publicly excoriated for the cause. A kind of leftist martyrdom without having to die.
I’d love to see these tech companies given the same treatment that was given Ma Bell as well as repealing 230-I’d guess that anti-trust rules would apply...
If he wants more transparency he can start today.
Damned fool with a stupid long thin beard and a nose ring.
These are the people were supposed to take seriously?
Blah, blah, blah
The law demands people such as this go to ....; ugh, nevermind.
Dorsey doesnt care. He has Twitter and Square, and more money than he can spend.
Transparency sounds nice but will change nothing. He did the rope-a-dope and will continue blocking the NY Post.
Send Dorsey to GITMO for a little vacation. They’d love him there. Literally probably.
I can understand the reason behind Section 230 - it is hard to police the content of millions (or now billions) of users on the various platforms. But it should not allow these companies free reign to censor or otherwise suppress speech that is not criminal, or potentially libelous.
It is “social media” and the whole idea is that bad ideas and bad speech will be policed “socially” by the users. If Person A tweets something stupid, Persons B-Z can respond. There is no need for the platforms to intervene. Users can follow or un-follow anyone they want.
The NYPost article is a perfect example. The NYPost doesn’t have liability protection, so if they do libel, they can be held liable. There is no reason for the platforms to censor or limits its viewing.
100% agree. The kid looked fried on some sort of hippie sh$t.
I still dont understand the appeal of nose rings. My daughter has one so Ive gotten used to it and now I dont even notice it, but I still dont get the why, lol.
