THE GUARDIAN: The ultimate shitposter has bought up Twitter, and its denizens are angry – how entirely appropriate
Speaking a few hours ago about Twitter purchaser Elon Musk, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey declared: “I trust his mission to extend the light of consciousness.” Bless. This feels like the first flashback scene we see in a dystopian drama after the words “SIX MONTHS EARLIER …” Quite where we’ll be in six months’ time as far as Twitter is concerned remains tantalisingly unclear, but it seems difficult to imagine it will be either a more or less pleasant space. It’s a social media platform. I’m not sure what further evidence humanity needs before we cotton on to the idea that such a thing might be an intrinsically toxic concept. Of course, there will always be some people who think it just hasn’t been done right yet. Like communism, or a British version of the Daily Show. » | Marina Hyde | Tuesday, April 26, 2022

Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey has stepped down from his executive role at the social media company.
Dorsey will be replaced by chief technology officer (CTO) Parag Agrawal, the company announced on Monday.
The surprise move ends Dorsey’s much criticized tenure as chief executive officer of both Twitter and Square, his digital payments company, which led to Twitter stakeholders Elliott Management and billionaire investor Paul Singer calling on him to step down from one of those roles.
Twitter’s shares rose 11% after the news broke on CNBC before being briefly suspended.
The company said Dorsey would step down immediately but that Dorsey would remain on the board until Twitter’s stockholder meeting in 2022.
“I’ve decided to leave Twitter because I believe the company is ready to move on from its founders. My trust in Parag as Twitter’s CEO is deep. His work over the past 10 years has been transformational. I’m deeply grateful for his skill, heart and soul. It’s his time to lead,” said Dorsey. » | Dominic Rushe in New York | Monday, November 29, 2021

Nach Löschung von Accounts: Islamischer Staat bedroht Twitter-Gründer
Der Onlinedienst Twitter hat nach eigenen Angaben Drohungen erhalten, weil er Nutzerkonten mit Verbindungen zur Dschihadistenmiliz Islamischer Staat (IS) blockiert hat. "Unser Sicherheitsteam untersucht gemeinsam mit den Strafverfolgungsbehörden den Wahrheitsgehalt dieser Drohungen", teilte ein Sprecher des Unternehmens mit, ohne weitere Einzelheiten zu nennen. Im Internet war zuvor ein Bild aufgetaucht, das Twitter-Gründer Jack Dorsey im Visier eines Fadenkreuzes zeigt. In einer Botschaft auf Arabisch wird Dorsey mit Rache für die Sperrung von Nutzerkonten gedroht. » | kbl/AFP | Montag, 02. März 2015
