Why didn't he un-do it? Cost? It would open the platform up and take people away from Twitter (the platform itself, where the ads get displayed) which is bad for the stock?
I'd agree those are among the real, internal corporate motivations for why Twitter has only teased openness in ways no one can rely on.
And yet, Dorsey's tweet labels the "killing API access", before his 2015-2021 CEO tenure, as the "worst thing we did". Unqualified superlative: "Worst!"
And further Dorsey claims company he no longer runs "will continue to open back up completely". Unqualified superlative: "Completely!"
So he must have some really vivid idea of how the company could undo its "worst" mistake" and pursue a novel, trustworthy openness "completely" - that nonetheless somehow escaped tangible commitments during his reign. Did he figure out how to square the circle of Twitter's business model just in the 24 days since resigning as CEO?
