Jack Dorsey says Trump fact-check does not make Twitter 'arbiter of truth'

In his tweets Wednesday, Dorsey also said he takes ultimate responsibility for decisions made by Twitter and asked people to "leave our employees out of this." Earlier Wednesday, Trump's two elder sons and White House counselor Kellyanne Conway pointed to tweets made by Twitter employee Yoel Roth in 2016 and 2017 as evidence of Twitter's alleged bias against the president.

There is someone ultimately accountable for our actions as a company, and that's me," Dorsey said. "Please leave our employees out of this. We'll continue to point out incorrect or disputed information about elections globally. And we will admit to and own any mistakes we make."
Twitter also defended Roth earlier Wednesday, saying that, "no one person at Twitter is responsible for our policies or enforcement actions, and it's unfortunate to see individual employees targeted for company decisions."
Dorsey, according to a Twitter spokesperson, did not make the decision to label Trump's tweets. A Twitter spokesperson said the tweets contained "potentially misleading information about voting processes" and had been "labeled to provide additional context."
