In the virtual meeting with staff, Dorsey said Twitter will do a “full retro” of accounts that will “take some time.”
“So, the focus is certainly on this account and how it ties to real-world violence. But also, we need to think much longer-term around how these dynamics play out over time. I don’t believe this is going away anytime soon,” he said.
He also pointed to how the company handled the purge of QAnon accounts as an example of “a much broader approach that we should be looking at and going deeper on.”
“You know, the U.S. is extremely divided. Our platform is showing that every single day,” the Twitter CEO said later in the clip. “And our role is to protect the integrity of that conversation and do what we can to make sure that no one is being harmed based off that. And that is our focus.”
Earlier this week in a Twitter thread explaining recent actions, Dorsey called the bans “a failure” as they “limited the potential for clarification, redemption, and learning,” and set a “dangerous” precedent.
