First-ever tweet turns 15
Print Edition
Fifteen years ago Jack Dorsey typed out a banal message 鈥 鈥渏ust setting up my twttr鈥 鈥 which became the first-ever tweet, launching a global platform that has become a controversial and dominant force in civil society.
The short tweet on March 21, 2006, by the Twitter CEO is now being sold at auction, with bidding reaching US$2.5 million. In January Twitter deleted former US president Donald Trump鈥檚 account after he was blamed for inciting the violent insurrection on the US Capitol.
The banning of a head of state was welcomed and denounced in a sign of the line Twitter and other social media tread between neutrality, freedom of speech, and prevention of abuse.
