Co-founder Says He’s Sorry If Twitter Helped Trump Win Presidency

Evan Williams, who still sits on the company’s board of directors, told The New York Times that he wants to repair the damage he thinks Twitter and the broader internet have wrought on society in the form of trolls, cyberbullies, live-streamed violence, fake news and – yes – Trump. “I thought once everybody could speak freely and exchange information and ideas, the world is automatically going to be a better place,” Williams told the Times.
