Can anyone post about anything on Twitter without the conversation devolving into a politicized shouting match? It seems like the only social currency nowadays is how many scalps, knee-bends, and ring-kisses one can collect.
To be honest, you could make a case for his twitter account to be suspended when compared to the kind of bans I see being handed out these days.
In reality, it shows how what might be a moral virtue to one is a moral defect to another and that is going to end up working against these kinds of social media companies that choose to "fight for social justice" when it comes to growth.
I just don't see how twitter is going to be able to have it's cake and eat it too.
To summarize, a few bozos expressed opinions about somebody's vacation instead of minding their own business like they're supposed to. Later, a journalist found this to be the easiest way to meet his quota.
I remember people, not long ago, accusing him of being a bigot for eating lunch at Chic-FilA. Seriouly, how do you respond to that? Since then all stories like this one are safely ignored.
My view: the muslim think is quite segregationist. None of the Muslim-majority nations were/are ready to take the Rohingyas except Bangladesh. That too after being promised aid from gulf countries.
There is no coherent point being made in the article, which is instead filled with vacuous weasel words like "many on Twitter [called out Dorsey for being tone deaf]". It's sad to see this popping up in the NY Times. You could take that as a hint to scrutinize every article on this page a little more: https://www.nytimes.com/by/mike-ives
