Jack Dorsey, chief executive officer of Twitter Inc. (Cole Burston/Bloomberg)President Trump on Tuesday met privately with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, a huddle at the White House between one of the site’s most prolific users and an executive who’s faced criticism for the way Twitter has handled the president’s tweets. The president’s latest salvo arrived just hours before he met with Dorsey: Trump accused Twitter of playing “political games" and tampering with his nearly 60 million followers. But Twitter long has explained that follower figures fluctuate as the company takes action to remove fraudulent spam accounts. Twitter is here to serve the entire public conversation, and we intend to make it healthier and more civil. — jack (@jack) April 23, 2019Asked about the meeting, the White House did not respond to a request for comment.
