TIL Desk/World/Washington/ Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has defended his company’s unprecedented decision to permanently suspend United States President Donald Trump from the popular social media site, but warned that it could set a “dangerous precedent” and reflective of the company’s failure “to promote healthy conversation” across its platforms. Dorsey broke his silence since the company’s major decision in a series of tweets on Wednesday.
Twitter on Friday announced that Trump has been permanently suspended from Twitter due to the “risk of further incitement of violence”, days after his supporters stormed the US Capitol and caused the deaths of four civilians and a police officer. The unprecedented move by the California-based social media platform came after President Trump tweeted that he would not attend the inauguration of his successor Joe Biden on January 20.
“I do not celebrate or feel pride in our having to ban @realDonaldTrump from Twitter, or how we got here. After a clear warning we’d take this action, we made a decision with the best information we had based on threats to physical safety both on and off Twitter. Was this correct?,” Dorsey said.
