Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey
I can’t imagine what our friends at YouTube are feeling and dealing with right now. We‘re here for you and your families and friends.

We can’t keep being reactive to this, thinking and praying it won’t happen again at our schools, jobs, or our community spots. It’s beyond time to evolve our policies. This is a simple and reasonable approach, and it won’t solve all, but it’s a good start: https://t.co/ADYalbaO57 https://t.co/nbXpH9DDyT
