Getty A Twitter engineer has launched a scathing public attack on CEO Jack Dorsey, and said he is deleting the app, at least for 3 months. Jared Gaut criticised leadership's attempts to remain neutral — an apparent reference to Twitter's decision not to ban conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. "I believe leadership truly have their hearts in the right place and genuinely want Twitter to be a safe place, but right now leadership is failing us," Gaut wrote. His tweets have since been retweeted thousands of times. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey is facing sharp criticism from an unlikely source — one of his own engineers. Early on Tuesday morning, Twitter IT system engineer Jared Gaut took to the social network to voice his displeasure with recent decisions by the company leadership, and to announce he was deleting the app completely for the next three months in protest.
