Jack Dorsey saying twitter doesn't have the power to influence elections is antithetical to every political decision his company has made over the past 4 years.
Essentially every clamp down on speech or information has been at the direction of former Hillary staffers and legacy media precisely because they blame Twitter for 2016. You don't get to have it both ways.
Social media, Twitter/FB etc essentially murdered old media and Dorsey has spent the last four years begging for forgiveness and turning his platform into the type of media model he murdered. Why is completely beyond me.
Hillary's people a week after the election said they are going after "Fake news" and the media fell right in line behind them.

Ted Cruz is right. If Dorsey doesn't think Twitter can influence elections then why ban the NY Post or add context labels or fact checks or anyone else for that matter. Why not leave it up to the user base to challenge content?
Hillary Clinton didn't go to Wisconsin and instead her campaign and the media blamed Twitter and Dorsey went "I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry you're right tell me what I can do to fix this! I'm sorry I'm sorry!" and here we are.
