Linda Yaccarino, the new CEO of Twitter, recently sent a memo to employees, emphasizing the company’s focus on free speech. In her first tweet thread since becoming CEO, Yaccarino stated that Twitter is on a mission to become the world’s most accurate real-time information source and a global town square for communication.
Yaccarino believes that people need access to an unfiltered exchange of information and open dialogue about the things that matter most to us to drive civilization forward. She believes that Twitter can play a significant role in achieving this goal.
Challenges Faced by Yaccarino as the New CEO of Twitter
One of Yaccarino’s most immediate challenges is to stabilize the ad business. Several companies have paused their ad campaigns on Twitter over concerns about the rise of hate speech and offensive content. In early June, several high-level Twitter executives tasked with brand safety suddenly left the company.
Moreover, Twitter has been facing several problems since Elon Musk took over. The value of the site plummeted due to a shifting market and decline in advertising. Musk has reinstated many accounts that had previously been shut for violating rules of prior leadership. However, Musk has also silenced some voices, including suspending the accounts of journalists who have been critical of him.
Twitter’s Transformation to Drive Civilization Forward
Yaccarino believes that the global town square needs transformation to drive civilization forward through the unfiltered exchange of information and open dialogue about the things that matter most to us. She wants to create a platform where everyone should have the freedom to speak their mind.
Twitter is on the precipice of making history by becoming the world’s most accurate real-time information source and a global town square for communication. Yaccarino wants to create a platform where people can celebrate new voices and build something together that can change the world.
Building Twitter 2.0 Together
Yaccarino believes that the success of Twitter 2.0 is all of our responsibility. She wants everyone to think big, transform, and do it all together by starting from first principles – questioning our assumptions and building something new from the ground up.
