It'll be interesting to see how twitter changes now we have this nees.

Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey is stepping down as chief executive of the company.

He will be replaced by the current chief technical officer, Parag Agrawal, Twitter said.

Could Jack be back at some future time? He left once and then returned, so time will tell!

It's weird to me that he stepped down but he did so on a day that other CEOs resigned, wondering if it has something to do with the GM trial.

Twitter is a dead engine, he gets it. Square has a solid day to day, he's waiting out his time to find the next shiny thing.

Not so much, we've seen this story playing out everywhere. One does not create a vibrant inclusive community by excluding the half who disagree with the approved position on *insert topic of the day*. It only ends when the advertisers and shareholders get frustrated.

Either ban controversial topics like politics entirely or accept both sides, anything else is self-defeating. He's already stated he's not going to allow half the conversation so twitter can only reach half, if that, of the people it otherwise could. A true echo chamber.

Jack was gung-ho in favor of his political bias and he seems tame in comparison to what the new CEO has already said. I don't think the end result will work out as intended, it can't when it only represents half the population and one side of the discussion.

Ban topics? I have a better idea, stop using the platform entirely. Humans were not designed to communicate via text alone.
