TWITTER DENIES CEO OVERRULED JONES DECISION
Twitter is disputing a report that CEO Jack Dorsey overruled a decision by the social network’s staff to kick farright pundit Alex Jones off the service. At the time, the far-right conspiracy theorist – and some content and accounts related to his website Infowars – had been booted from Facebook, YouTube, Apple, Spotify and other online sites. Twitter came under heat for not immediately following suit. Dorsey told NBC News that this was “a time out” for Jones, something “we have found ... does have the potential to ... change behavior.”
