On Wednesday Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey defended the company’s decision to put Infowars founder Alex Jones in a seven-day “timeout”. Dorsey said, “I feel any suspension, whether it be a permanent or a temporary one, makes someone think about their actions and their behaviors,” Dorsey said.
In the same week that Jack Dorsey is lecturing on “appropriate actions and behavior” Twitter just certified racist New York Times writer Sarah Jeong with a blue check mark.

The Iranian regime is under extreme pressure with the new sanctions by the Trump administration and the increasing turmoil from inside the country.
It is very important that Iranian human rights activists are allowed to support the brave Iranians striving for freedom from a repressive regime.
#IranProtests are shaking the very pillars of #Iran's regime & the return of U.S. sanctions are making matters even worse.https://t.co/1o48TME8xX
