It will never be possible to publish his publications on Twitter. Social network CEO and co-founder Jack Dorsey reminded him on Wednesday of a question and answer session for the American media Wired , reports Numerama .
During this session, a user asked him: "Can we have an edit button in 2020? ". "The answer is no," retorts Jack Dorsey, intractable. The sequence is approximately 3 minutes away.
This would corrupt the retweets
To explain his position, the co-founder returns to the origins of Twitter, launched in 2006. “We started with a messaging service comparable to SMS. And as you all know, when you send a text, you can't get it back, ”says Jack Dorsey. “We wanted to keep this approach from the first days. "
Jack Dorsey also explains that the retweet function, which allows to relay the publication of another internet user, prevents the existence of an "editing" function. The CEO can not imagine that we retweet a message which, a few hours later, changes its meaning completely after modification.
Concerning the faults, Twitter has for a time considered installing a functionality which would delay the sending of the message. The editor would then have a few seconds to make final corrections to form and spelling. But Twitter will "probably never introduce it," says Numerama . The only solution when we don't like one of our tweets is deletion.
