Business Insider · 1y

According to a book on Twitter's founding and evolution, Twitter cofounder Jack Dorsey's parents faced security threats after the company banned Donald Trump from the platform. The book, titled "Battle for the Bird," states that security was provided outside Dorsey's parents' house in St. Louis due to threats they received. Dorsey himself reflected on the decision and its impact on Twitter's long-term future following the ban. In addition to Dorsey's family, others associated with Twitter, including former head of trust and safety Yoel Roth, have also faced security concerns. Elon Musk, who later reinstated Trump's account, has expressed safety concerns since taking over the company.
