Jack Dorsey apologises for Twitter’s focus on centralized web

Twitter founder Jack Dorsey explained earlier on his personal Twitter page that he believes that Twitter, which he founded, should be responsible for the current situation of focusing on user identities and speech content in the structure of the centralized network.

Jack Dorsey said he regretted the impact of Twitter on the current state of the Internet. The main reason is that many people speak on the Internet and dig out new information, usually starting on Twitter, so a lot of information is concentrated on Twitter. Many user interactions also occur on Twitter, which is contrary to the current market’s active promotion of decentralization.

the days of usenet, irc, the web…even email (w PGP)…were amazing. centralizing discovery and identity into corporations really damaged the internet.

I realize I'm partially to blame, and regret it.

In addition to Twitter, in fact, most users also voice their voices through online community platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, etc. However, because Twitter has always maintained the characteristics of lightness and rapid dissemination, it has become an online community platform used by many celebrities and stars. Therefore, Jack Dorsey believes that a larger-scale centralized network structure is created.

However, Jack Dorsey also previously expressed his opinions on the hotly discussed topics of Web 3.0 and Metaverse in the market, believing that these topics are still projects promoted by the majority of people. Therefore, it is actually difficult to escape decentralization in form, and it may even be in the hands of specific investors and corporate institutions.
