>I saw Jack Dorsey's activity liking tweets critical and mocking the current govt. >but passively liking and expressing your political likings and stance as CEO of twitter is is not cool & ethical. Let's flip the script for a second here. Is a CEO allowed to like a positive story about the Indian leader? Can he retweet a cause he might care about (which many others might not)?
Does this mean that CEOs abstain from taking part in public discourse or be called as not 'neutral'? >Jack Dorsey should stop acting like he is the sole flag bearer of the free speech in the entire world. Can this argument not be pointed to anybody who argues for free speech? Who is allowed to be a flag bearer for free speech? |

Well, you missed very important piece of context from my argument, 'at the peak of farmer's protest' . You already know the sentiments are running high, there is lot of misinformation, wide disconnect between ground reality and digital narrative. A little act of nudge or sign can trigger violence and get people killed on the street. Well, then I am looking at the CEO of the company that is carrying all of this information wether it is true or false, and how he behaves and if chooses sides wether correct or wrong.
> Who is allowed to be a flag bearer for free speech?
In my opinion, anyone who understand that free speech has its limitations, I am allowed to say whatever I want in certain context and situation but staying within reason.
Anyone who understands, the difference between shouting 'Hey, I got little firecracker on me' on an Airplane vs someone at a child's birthday party. Some things under different context trigger different reactions. It's not very hard to understand. Now imagine Jack Dorsey liking tweets of a person supporting the group that supports the ideology of those who attacked Capital Hill. Not sure about how other Indian Citizens feel about it, being an NRI of 15+ years I took hoisting of religious flag on Red Fort as an attack on democracy and also akin to attack on Capitol Hill as well.
