According to reports Jack Dorsey will be leaving as the founder and CEO of Twitter’s social media platform.
CNBC reported on Monday that Dorsey is “expected to announce that he will be stepping down as the company’s CEO in the near term.”
At this time, it’s unclear why Dorsey may be stepping down, however, The Guardian reported that he’d been facing ” pressure from Twitter stakeholders Elliott Management and billionaire investor Paul Singer to step down from one of those roles.” The other role being the CEO of the digital payment company “Square.”
As CEO, he made many controversial decisions that were ultimately fatal. The permanent suspension of President Donald TrumpDorsey admits that this move set dangerous precedents.
Under Dorsey, the site’s left-leaning bias was clear and apparent, enforcing its rules selectively and allowing those who espouse left-leaning viewpoints to stay on. Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw, for example, called Twitter out for their failure to enforce the rules about harassment against others. He was referring to Jezebel author Kyrsten Sinema’s encouragement of people harassing her.
Dorsey also made the call to ban the spread of the New York Post article that contained the story about Hunter Biden’s laptop, which Dorsey later admitted was a mistake.
RedState will update the story as more information is available.
