 |  Subject: Wasted Space: Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey appears on Joe Rogan’s podcast—again  Thu Mar 07, 2019 1:37 am | |
| Twitter founder Jack Dorsey appeared on comedian Joe Rogan’s podcast on Tuesday for the second time in a month for a showdown over his company’s policies and actions, especially banning conservatives.
This time, Rogan and Dorsey were joined by independent journalist Tim Pool and Twitter’s chief legal officer, Vijaya Gadde.

— jack (@jack) March 5, 2019 When he appeared on the podcast on Feb. 2, Dorsey discussed at length Twitter’s policies and what he said were the company’s responsibilities.
Afterward, Rogan was accused of softballing questions by some angry conservatives who believe that the social media company actively persecutes those on the right. They criticized the comedian for not discussing the banning of high-profile, fringe-right personalities. The podcast even resulted in a feud, only recently resolved, between Rogan and his friend Alex Jones of conspiracy theory peddling website InfoWars.
Rogan was not going to open himself to the same criticism twice, however, and invited former guest Pool to engage and question the Twitter representatives.
Pool, who regularly covers the culture war on YouTube, describes himself as a “social liberal” and, like Rogan, disassociates from the right. But Pool has been criticized by some activists on the left as “alt-right adjacent.”
On the podcast, Pool was keen to discuss instances in which Twitter enforced suspensions against conservatives and to assert that the company was implementing its policies with ideological bias.
Gadde countered that the platform seeks to promote free speech and that punishment for accounts which violate the company’s harassment guidelines is applied without political bias or the intent to “police ideology.”
Some liberals were furious that Dorsey was back on Rogan’s show.

- Joe Rogan is currently live-streaming with conspiracy theorist Tim Pool (@timcast). Pool is known for being a moronic neo-nazi lapdog that has defended Laura Loomer and Gavin McInnes. A week after hosting Alex Jones, Rogan is again proving why he is a gateway to the alt-right. pic.twitter.com/nm0sUAjpen
