U.S. President Donald Trump's personal Twitter account was deleted by an employee for a brief period of time on November 2nd, 2017.
Following the temporary deactivation and/or deletion of Trump's personal Twitter account - Dorsey seemingly endorsed his employee's decision:
Dorsey liked a meme Tweeted by SwiftOnSecurity, which humorously showed the CEO as the late painter Bob Ross, wherein Trump's deletion was not a mistake but only a happy little accident.
Washington Street Journal:
Twitter blamed the incident-which took Mr. Trump's @realdonaldtrump account offline for 11 minutes late Thursday-on actions taken by a customer-support employee on his or her last day of work. Twitter said it was taking measures "to prevent this from happening again."The Tweet can be found under Dorsey's Likes & is archived for posterity.
Inside Twitter, the brief deactivation elicited celebration or amusement even in the upper ranks. A couple of hours after the deactivation of Mr. Trump's account, Twitter Chief Executive Jack Dorsey liked a tweet with an image of his face superimposed on celebrity painter Bob Ross standing before a canvas depicting Mr. Trump's deactivated account. "There are no mistakes, only happy little accidents!" the caption said.
A spokesman for Twitter declined to comment.
This seemingly indicates that Twitter's CEO is endorsing the employee's decision to delete Trump's Twitter account, including the risk(s) involved, which subsequently means he is implying that he has no issue cutting off U.S. government communications.
It is also troubling because of inherent doubt cast on Twitter's official statement, due to Dorsey lying, where he has previously stated that Twitter did not alter hashtag propagation:
On July 23rd, 2016, Dorsey lied about Twitter preventing hashtag "DNCLeaks" from trending. Recently it has been revealed that Twitter actually suppressed 48% of the hashtag at the time.
Comment: It seems like Twitter is showing us where its true loyalties lie, and it sure ain't its users.
