Jack Dorsey, founder and former CEO of Twitter, considers himself one of those responsible for the centralization of the internet. Dorsey announced his resignation in November last year and worked at Twitter until March of this year, giving way to Parag Agrawal, what was before CTO (Chief Technology Officer or Chief Technology Officer/Technology Manager).
Jacks stated in a tweet posted on April 02nd that "he regrets being one of the promoters of identity discovery in corporations and that it has damaged the internet". Before announcing his departure as CEO of Twitter, the specialist began to invest in the Bluesky, a platform that focuses on being a “social media system that would be decentralized”.
It may take some time for the release of the Bluesky happen. The main focus is to return the power of freedom to s for the creation of other diverse social networks.
