It’s been a hard few weeks for Twitter. Following its initial refusal to ban controversial far-right conspiracist Alex Jones and Infowars, the ensuing backlash sent the company scrambling to rethink its policies, as both users and members of its own staff grew frustrated with its seeming inconsistency in enforcing those policies. Eventually, Twitter did suspend Jones and his Infowars accounts — but only temporarily.
In the midst of all of this, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey made a flurry of press appearances in an apparent attempt to be transparent about his company’s decision-making, and to explain what’s been happening from his perspective.
