Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey says banning Trump was right decision but sets dangerous precedent
The chief executive of Twitter says banning President Donald Trump from its social media platform after last week’s violence in Washington sets a dangerous precedent but also says it was the “right decision”.
Key points:
- Mr Dorsey said the ban was a failure by Twitter to promote “healthy” conversation
- Twitter is among several social media platforms to ban Mr Trump since last week’s violence
- Snapchat has permanently banned the president and Airbnb is cancelling reservations in Washington ahead of the inauguration
The social media platform last week removed Mr Trump’s account, which had 88 million followers, citing the risk of further violence following the storming of the US Capitol by supporters of the President.
