Are you ready for another “powerful thread” on the evils of Twitter?

What makes this one great is that Jared is a Twitter employee:

I’ve been a daily user of @twitter for the last 11 years – long before I started working at Twitter. I won’t be a “monthly active user” during the rest of Q3. I’m deleting the @twitter app from all my devices and signing out of all browsers. @jack, thread ?

I love @twitter, the company and service, but right now we are making the wrong decisions. Everyone at Twitter passionately wants to make the world better.

We want to do it by bringing people together and encouraging constructive, fun, intelligent conversation. We want Twitter to be a megaphone for the voices that need it most.

Many, many people across several orgs have done a great amount of fantastic work towards this. I believe leadership truly have their hearts in the right place and genuinely want Twitter to be a safe place, but right now leadership is failing us.

Now here’s where he tells Twitter leadership to let that liberal flag fly because not suppressing Alex Jones is somehow suppressing voices:

We are not a government. We do not need to be neutral. The feeling that we are making the tough, right call by remaining neutral is wrong. Our inaction is suppressing voices – disabling conversation.

We may come around and make the right decision this time, but how long until we are right here again? We are stuck in an infinite loop.
