Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey has said the company meets none of the standards he hoped to achieve and said social media companies should not be owned by a single person.

Mr Dorsey, who stepped down as CEO of Twitter in November 2021, still retains a 2.4 per cent stake in the company following Elon Musk’s takeover in October 2022.

In response to Mr Musk publishing the so-called Twitter Files, Mr Dorsey wrote a blog post detailing perceived issues that have arisen with the social media platform, which he claimed began while he was still in charge.
