Too bad most commenting haven’t read the interview (what else is new, eh?). I like this, Jack Dorsey responding to a question on how the US government had its hooks into Twitter’s leadership before the buyout:
I think it was problematic, and I also don’t think the people who got called out in the Twitter Files get enough credit for pushing back on government requests. The U.S. is certainly one of them. Twitter has a track record of fighting the U.S. on free speech causes, especially around transparency reports. Opening the lens even broader to other governments, we had even more fights. Tons of fights with India, Turkey, Russia, Nigeria. These are all governments that threatened arrest of our employees, raided our employees’ homes, offices, asking for phone numbers and personal information for accounts that were critical of the governments. I think that was one part that’s overlooked and not appreciated.
Two things can be true at the same time: that Twitter & Nostr have become Nazi bars and that the large US corporate social media platforms (Meta, X, Alphabet, Reddit, etc.) have become constituent parts of the US military-intelligence-industrial complex.
