The tweet caused outrage with some accusing Dorsey of “hate-mongering” against Brahmins. Twitter’s Legal head Vijaya Gadde was also in the image. It resulted in a lot of backlash and even an FIR against Dorsey was filed in Rajasthan, which was, however, dismissed by the High Court eventually. He had met some Indian journalists during the visit, and one of the journalists had tweeted the photograph. India trip and ‘Smash the Brahmanical patriarchy’ controversyĭorsey faced some controversy during his 2018 India visit when a photo of him holding a poster with the message “smash Brahmanical patriarchy” went viral. It’s worth stepping back in order to address,” he wrote at the time. And paying to increase the reach of political speech has significant ramifications that today’s democratic infrastructure may not be prepared to handle. He also said the decision to ban political ads should not be seen as against free expression. And Dorsey took a potshot at Zuckerberg and Facebook as well saying it was not credible for them to claim they were trying to stop misinformation, but “if someone pays us to target and force people to see their political ad…well…they can say whatever they want!” He added a winking emoji to the end of that tweet, which made the jibe even more obvious. One reason why they were banning political ads was to keep their credibility, according to him. In this photo, Jack Dorsey is seen addressing students during a town hall at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in New Delhi, India. He said all of this was increasing at an “overwhelming scale”. He wrote that the new age internet political ads pose “new challenges to civic discourse” given the use of “machine learning-based optimization of messaging and micro-targeting, unchecked misleading information, and deep fakes”.
