Elon Musk announced restrictive measures on Twitter, such as the limitation of publications that can be seen daily on the platform. The reactions were outraged, but there was a different one: Jack Dorsey’s.
Founder and former CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey issued his vision of the news of the network by being a trend in it. Many they longed for his return after witnessing the umpteenth change made by Elon Musk.
But, what did Dorsey say? He sympathized with Musk, without naming him.
Running Twitter is hard. I don’t wish that stress upon anyone. I trust that the team is doing their best under the constraints they have, which are immense. It’s easy to criticize the decisions from afar…which I’m guilty of…but I know the goal is to see Twitter thrive. It will.

“Managing Twitter is difficult,” said the American in his personal account. “I don’t wish that stress on anyone. I trust that the team is doing its best under the limitations they have, which are immense”.
“It’s easy to criticize decisions from afar, which I’m guilty of… but I know the goal is to see Twitter thrive. And they’ll make it.” Dorsey stressed.
He also recommended building “truly censorship-resistant open protocols”.
Elon Musk’s restrictions on Twitter, about which Jack Dorsey spoke
Elon Musk established last Saturday a limit on the number of tweets users can read every day.
Why does the restriction occur? According to Musk, it is for “addressing extreme levels of data mining and system manipulation.” In addition, he added that the change is temporary.
Currently, for example, they cannot be seen in searches either featured images and videos: only the most recent, featured tweets and people accounts.
According to the billionaire, the accounts verified by Twitter Blue they can see up to 6 thousand posts a day. But the unverified ones will only read 600. While the new unverified users would access 300.
He later raised the limits to 8 thousand, 800 and 400, respectively. In a tweet later, he left the restriction in 10 thousand, thousand and 500.
It is one more example of Musk’s chaos in decision making, not have the definitive figures from the outset. and continue with it trial and error in the changes.
