“We didn’t suspend Alex Jones or Infowars yesterday,” Dorsey tweeted. “We know that’s hard for many but the reason is simple: he hasn’t violated our rules.”
And note the reference to "outside pressure" in the quote below. What "outside pressure" do you refer to, Jack? His peers clearly caved to that pressure, all at the same time and in a coordinated fashion, and it's quite surprising, actually, that Dorsey didn't.
Accounts like Jones' can often sensationalize issues and spread unsubstantiated rumors, so it’s critical journalists document, validate, and refute such information directly so people can form their own opinions. This is what serves the public conversation best.
Well, it's sort of like being the tallest dwarf, but sure, credit where credit is due.
