Twitter CEO goes to a softball game. |
The right wing carnival barker is the official softball of the Donald J. Trump administration. He is the most hated media personality in the country. He is an annoying conservative agitator and condescending figure. He is a kookspiracist and word vomit aficionado.
You guessed it, it's Sean "Softball" Hannity.
The embattled CEO of the social media company has decided to keep Alex Jones on the social platform despite Facebook, Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube banning the far right kook.
Jack Dorsey has been under pressure to stop the spread of misinformation, racism and bigotry. Twitter is one of the many platforms where trolls from all walks of life post bullshit online to cause chaos. The Russian intelligence agencies are seeing how Americans are motivated by social media.
They used it as a motivation for create phony profiles. Even the softball was fooled by some fake profiles. Many of the Russian trolls often use the softball posts.
We’re committing Twitter to help increase the collective health, openness, and civility of public conversation, and to hold ourselves publicly accountable towards progress.— jack (@jack) March 1, 2018
More context on why our rules are currently where they are and how we’re thinking about evolving them. https://t.co/5HcW9AQFyw— jack (@jack) August 8, 2018
Thank you Emily. Proud to work for an open company not afraid to speak up and push us all forward. Someday maybe we can have most of our conversations debates and disagreements right here on Twitter for everyone to see. https://t.co/54oMp4LA0d— jack (@jack) August 8, 2018
Some fair points here. We certainly have a lot of work to do to help journalists do their jobs better. That’s our intent. Help with reach, balance, and economic incentives. We’re behind on those last two. Shouldn’t take away from skepticism and critical thinking tho. https://t.co/2rlNWJnrjO— jack (@jack) August 8, 2018
They are actively trying to repeat the success of the 2016 U.S. presidential election. They are trying to seed more discourse in the country.
Dorsey seems to be a fan of Alex Jones and is doing his work to defend him. Alex Jones said that Softball Hannity is the mainstream version of him, "word for word."
Many progressives are calling Dorsey out for going on that divisive program.
For years, the softball has peddled bullshit, created controversy and spread misinformation on behalf of Trump and Republicans. Softball Hannity is an active example of violation of terms and service.
