Former Twitter Inc chief executive officer Jack Dorsey called recent online attacks on his former employees “dangerous” while taking the blame for controversial content decisions that the company made under his leadership.

Dorsey wrote in a blog post on Dec 13 that Twitter ultimately had too much power to make content decisions under his guidance. Users should have had more control over what they see online, and Twitter did a poor job building tools to handle that, he said. Dorsey added that he “completely gave up pushing for” those ideas after an activist investor showed up in early 2020.
