Twitter’s Jack Dorsey: Closet Free Speech Warrior or Opportunist Scenting Change in Political Wind?

(Christian Toto) Jack Dorsey picked a curious time to defend free speech and decry the rise of fake news. The Twitter cofounder and former CEO — and long the face of a platform that made him a billionaire — leaves the company’s board in a few weeks.

In the waning days of his tenure, as Elon Musk waged his methodical campaign to buy Twitter, Dorsey — oft-reviled for presiding over increasing viewpoint discrimination against conservative-leaning content — took to lashing out at his fellow board members and mocking CNN.

He has even been suspected of “defending” the scourge of woke America, Tucker Carlson.

For the Big Tech entrepreneur known for cultivating the look of a new age mystic and banning former President Trump from his platform for life, such deviations from woke orthodoxy, however modest, inevitably provoke questions: Is this the “real” Jack Dorsey emerging as he sheds the Twitter fetters? Has he been quietly acting as an unsueryspected inside ally of Elon Musk’s takeover bid? Is he simply an opportunist hoping to remain relevant amid an accelerating shift in the political and cultural tides under the influence of a historically unpopular liberal administration in Washington?

The mystery surrounding Dorsey’s public metamorphosis only grew more intriguing after Musk clinched his deal for Twitter on Monday. Thanking Musk for rescuing the company from an “impossible situation,” Dorsey declared, “Elon’s goal of creating a platform that is ‘maximally trusted and broadly inclusive’ is the right one.”

Dorsey served as a juicy target for the platform’s critics over the years. His contentious debate with podcasters Joe Rogan and Tim Pool went viral in March of 2019, showing him both willing to hear opposing views but unable to refute charges of platform bias against conservatives.

A year later, Twitter joined Big Tech’s efforts to suppress the New York Post’s expose on Hunter Biden’s laptop in the heat of a presidential election. Dorsey defended suspending The New York Post’s Twitter account at first, saying it wasn’t clear how the newspaper obtained the data in question. He quickly backpedaled, repudiating the  “unacceptable” decision to block a story later confirmed as accurate by both The New York Times and The Washington Post.

The following year, he doubled down, calling that decision a “total mistake,” without revealing who made the call or why it happened. His legion of right-leaning critics weren’t appeased by the belated response. Nor did Dorsey step in when Twitter permanently banned President Donald Trump from the platform following the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
