Donald Trump vs Twitter: Jack Dorsey says they will continue to point out incorrect information
After Twitter decided to prompt users, for the first time ever, to fact check US President Donald Trump’s tweets warning that his claims about “mail-in ballots were false” and “has been debunked by factcheckers”, White House has said that Trump will sign an executive order on social media companies on Thursday. This was preceded by Trump threatening to shut down websites that are stifling “conservative voices”.
Twitter’s CEO Jack Dorsey has decided to stick to his guns in this fight stating that –
“Fact check: there is someone ultimately accountable for our actions as a company, and that’s me. Please leave our employees out of this. We’ll continue to point out incorrect or disputed information about elections globally. And we will admit to and own any mistakes we make.”
