Jack Dorsey privately met with Trump aides in DC to apologize for the platform’s liberal bias while the family separation horror at the border was unfolding. He lacks judgement. washingtonpost.com/technology/201…
Twitter employees can and should demand better governance, whether through an ombudsperson or user advocate, advisory board, employee union, or all of the above. At the very least, Twitter needs a full-time CEO who can run Nazis off the platform, not a half-time celebrity chaser.
Twitter engineers and ops people have the power to make real change happen at Twitter. The obstacle has been coordinating and uniting around a concrete set of demands, but I hope that with time they will power through and find a way.
If you work at Twitter and are fed up, and want to find a way, talk to @michelleimiller at coworker.org. Maybe over Signal rather than DM. There is power in numbers, and I know that people at Twitter are aghast at a leader so clearly out of his moral depth.
I'm fine with the idea of meeting with people far from you ideologically, as long as you can talk in good faith, and as long as you don't let yourself get played. But @jack is breaking bread with Sean Hannity and Ted Cruz.
The problem here isn't the particular shortcomings of a Jack Dorsey or Mark Zuckerberg, but the idea of rule by founder. These platforms are too important, and affect too many people's lives, for us to have to wait on a tech CEO bro to find himself. We need a union.
