Many people were enraged. Most of them working as producers and journalist at prominent new organizations.

Timothy Klausutis to Jack Dorsey: "I'm asking you to intervene in this instance because the president of the United States has taken something that does not belong to him — the memory of my dead wife — and perverted it for perceived political gain." https://t.co/v0XUKAhjhT

Jack Dorsey is a fucking dirtbag.

Mr. Klausutis addressed his dignified request to Jack Dorsey. But one could also direct the challenge to Donald Trump:
Mr. Trump, have you no sense of decency? Mr. Trump, take down these tweets.https://t.co/gboOhTQHh8

Other users chimed in with their own frustrations, Trump is not having a good campaign season this time around at all. In fairness, we do not miss watching the behavior at his rallies.

I call on Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to ban Donald Trump's account.
No further evidence or proof is needed to show how inflammatory, threatening, libelous, offensive, abusive, hate-filled, harmful & destructively dangerous Trump's tweets are.
It's time to ban Trump's twitter account

The conversation about censorship and the way the press is managed. Just last week however we applied for a fund through Humanity Forward which is owned by Andrew Yang, that was funded by Jack.

“Jack Dorsey donated $5 million to Andrew Yang’s UBI-focused nonprofit, Humanity Forward, which is giving direct cash payments to Americans impacted by COVID-19. He announced the donation on Yang’s podcast, and I have to say, it was a very wholesome convo.” – twitter user.

Interesting. What do you think Jack’s response to this latest backlash will be? Are social media CEOs more powerful than they think?
