I can’t stand that Dorsey founded and was a key part of Twitter in the stages where it contributed towards the spread of bigotry online, and then now is trying to distance himself from the monster he created. These guys like Dorsey, Zuckerberg, etc. always have these neoliberal delusions that rely on reverse engineering answers to justify them getting more money and power. They go through their little “good guy” phases like what Dorsey is doing and what Bill Gates has been doing for years-- where they pretend to undo the outrageous amount of damage they’ve caused while largely profiting in the same ways they always have-- scumbag investment strategies.

You might be right. I’m happy to give them the benefit of the doubt, at least to start with. It is possible they have learnt and changed over time. I guess we’ll see how Dorsey plays this one.
Just read over what you’re saying, please. In a conversation about multi-billionaires behind the most toxic social media platforms on the planet (Zuckerberg, Dorsey), you’re "happy to give them the benefit of the doubt" when they pitch a model like this, that is so plainly reliant on something they’re already heavily invested in?
Come on, as a leftist… I really do wish more people on the left were less inclined to give these ghouls the benefit of the doubt.
