Twitter and other social media platforms should restrict the ability of some accounts to share information, in order to improve the quality of discourse, former Twitter CEO Dick Costolo tells CNBC.
CEO Dick Costolo told CNBC on Monday that the social media company should give different sharing permissions to different types of accounts as a way to improve discourse on its platform.." "You've got high authority accounts, like newspaper accounts … that may be allowed to tweet things that a user that just signed up yesterday and has zero followers shouldn't."
The thought of putting in such a policy on Twitter and other social media platforms likely would make their leaders "cringe," Costolo said. But, in an era of widespread disinformation and harassment online, its time has come, Costolo said. For example, Costolo said an account that hasn't provided a phone number and has no avatar shouldn't be allowed to reply to tweets, or at least those replies should be visible only to their followers.after five years as CEO, mentioned a situation when he was still at the company in which ISIS and accounts affiliated with the terrorist group tweeted images from an execution it carried out., he said.
