Dorsey: We Didn't Get Enough Credit for Pushing Back on Censorship ... Sometimes

Since the release of the Twitter Files, there has been much scrutiny surrounding the relationship between Big Tech and the Federal Government. Dorsey called the collusion between these entities “problematic.” However, he also claimed, unbeknownst to the public, that there was some pushback from Twitter employees to the government’s censorship instructions.

“I also don't think the people who got called out in the Twitter Files get enough credit for pushing back on government requests,” Dorsey said. “The U.S. is certainly one of them.”

The U.S. government was by no means the only government hounding Twitter and now X to censor.

"Hey, we were only mostly collaborating with government censors" is not the defense that Dorsey seems to think it is. They should have made these demands public, if not the specifics, and exposed the Big Brother system rather than collaborate in its violation of free speech. Elon Musk hasn't been perfect on this either, but at least he made sure everyone knew it. If Musk hadn't bought Twitter, the collaborators of Big Brother would still be shutting down debate and dissent.
