Elon Musk wants to make Twitter a haven for free speech. That's raising alarms
CNN
Four years ago, Twitter cofounder and then-CEO Jack Dorsey laid out four key focus areas that would propel the company's growth. Among them: promoting "healthy conversation" on the platform.
After years of criticism for Twitter's apparent failures to prevent its platform from turning toxic, Dorsey acknowledged the scourge of "abuse, harassment, troll armies," as well as bots, misinformation campaigns and "increasingly divisive echo chambers" on the social network, and he called on researchers to help improve the situation.
"We think it is a growth vector over the long term, and it's the right thing to do for the people on Twitter, and also for the world," Dorsey said on the company's earnings call for the fourth quarter of 2018 of the focus on the "health" of the platform.
