Twitter's new CEO Linda Yaccarino is amped up for Twitter 2.0 and the platform's potential to finally become the 'town square' long ago promised by outgoing CEO Elon Musk. But that will never happen as long as Twitter resembles less of an open forum and more of a live recreation of The Lottery.
Yaccarino, who joined the social media platform last week from NBC/Universal, penned a spirited Twitter thread this week in which she briefly outlined the platform's goals and potential. On the one hand, I applaud the effort. It's Yacarrino's job to set the tone and communicate Twitter's latest aspirations.
