Elon Musk conducted an investigation within his new Twitter company. He then discovered that there were various censorship issues on the most influential social network in the world. For the company’s former CEO, Jack Dorsey, there is only one solution to these problems. It is a solution linked to blockchain technology.
Jack Dorsey advocates for a decentralized social network
The former CEO of Twitter did a post to present a solution that could solve the problems of censorship on the social network. According to him, a decentralized platform should be created, which would not be under the control of any government or business and which would be free and open to all.
Jack Dorsey said: ” Social media must be resistant to corporate and government control. Only the original author can remove content they produce. Moderation is best implemented by algorithmic choice. The Twitter that I ran and the Twitter of today do not meet any of these principles“.
The former CEO of the social network Twitter also maintains that corporate influence today is far too great. He explained : “I generally think corporations have become way too powerful“. “Allowing a government or a few companies to own the public conversation is a path to centralized control“, he added.
The former CEO opens up about his regrets for Twitter
In his post, Jack Dorsey expressed deep regret over the way he handled Twitter. He stated: “The biggest mistake I made was continuing to invest in creating tools that let us manage the public conversation, instead of creating tools that allow Twitter users to easily manage it themselves.“.
It should be noted that previously, Dorsey had denied the existence of censorship problems on Twitter. The famous entrepreneur Kim Dotcom has also made a publication on the subject last December 10. He stated : “Jack Dorsey lied under oath about censoring and banning Twitter users. Twitter’s general counsel was with him and knew his testimony was false“.
Jack Dorsey suggested that Twitter was becoming more powerful as public conversation management tools were rolled out to the platform. He pointed out that having too much power exposed the platform “to significant external pressures (such as advertising budgets)“.
