Note: As important as it is to offer constructive criticism to those who fail to do the right thing, it is also important to recognize when people and institutions are heading in the right direction. I tweeted the following to Jack Dorsey, CEO of Twitter, in recognition of their company’s attempt to keep civil discourse civil while protecting first amendment rights. You may copy or use the following as inspiration to write your own letter or tweet, if you’d like to.
Hello Jack Dorsey,
Thank you for your recent decisions to label President Trump’s (and other parties) tweets as glorifying of violence. Now more than ever we need strong leadership to confront the misuse of social media as a megaphone for the glorification of violence or hate speech. It’s a shame that it needs to be done to elected officials in the United States.
