It may be true, but it sounds odd; a 14 year old, with an interest in developing dispatching software? There must be a bit more to it than that. Landroo ( talk) 12:45, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi, this page seems to be closed to edits.
Just a suggstion:
Jack has said several times in public that he attended NYU and its computer science program, though did not graduate, and went to California in 1999. All this information is left out of his Wikipedia bio; I'm just wondering why? He doesn't hide the fact that he attended NYU, nor that he left without finishing. [I have no affiliation with either NYU or Twitter] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.83.70.117 ( talk) 01:56, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
Doesn't this guy smoke a lot of Marijuana? Shouldn't that be noted? 76.90.115.62 ( talk) 15:48, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
It actually may be relevant. In this case, this fellow has essentially attempted to repeal the First Amendment rights of a politician he doesn't like, and that sort of digitial oligarchy would doom freedom of expression -- which had hitherto been one of the hallmarks of America. Neither Zuck nor Dorsey even managed to finish an undergrad degree, but they aspire to dictate the terms of speech to the world, and such unrestrained arrogance is noteworthy in any fair article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.49.27.38 ( talk) 17:06, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
Dorsey has taken a stand to allow Alex Jones to exist on twitter as of today. It may be news worth, but I'm not comfortable adding something that controversial due to BLP policy. [1] [2] Jeff Carr ( talk) 17:07, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
Why isn't there a controversies section? Just Google "Jack Dorsey controversies" brings up numerous notable examples in the past few months. They should be represented here. Cody.berdinis ( talk) 04:03, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
Nonsense. Jack Dorsey is a criminal who, through his platform, aided a hostile foreign power in electing an illegitimate president. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:6000:120C:304:734D:C48A:9443:F1F8 ( talk) 21:37, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

Lol, there is no proof Dorsey is a registered Democrat and his contributions to conservative favorite Tulsi Gabbard being a basis is a joke. That part of his bio needs to be deleted. If Admins keep using their RW bias to skew narratives, they need to be outed, and possibly attacked in public — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1012:B15A:136C:0:1A:5487:6B01 ( talk) 05:37, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
Jack Dorsey is obviously a Democrat because he is a radical leftist who hates free speech and constantly censors and silences conservatives. He even donated to a black supremacist professor in Boston whose goal is to make free speech illegal, and he went so far as to permanently ban the president of the United States for encouraging the right to peacefully protest, which is protected by the First Amendment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 36.68.30.237 ( talk) 11:12, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
Practically every billionaire could be termed a "philanthropist" (as giving money away to pet causes is a great way to fend off arguments that they should pay more in taxes, but I digress), but they should not all be described as such in the lead of an article about them. The article does not make a convincing case for declaring that Dorsey is notable for philanthropy – unlike, say, Bill Gates or even Bill Clinton. He is a "technology entrepreneur", full stop. 100.40.20.48 ( talk) 00:52, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Jack Dorsey as founder & CEO of Twitter is currently the subject of a lawsuit alleging him to be a child pornagrapher as well documented here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhCqFORlaYI https://nypost.com/2021/01/21/twitter-sued-for-allegedly-refusing-to-remove-child-porn/ https://twitter.com/nypost/status/1352278850416357380 https://www.christianpost.com/news/twitter-sued-after-child-sex-video-received-over-167k-views.html JusticeNoworLater ( talk) 18:08, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
As reported in the news, Dorsey's title at Block is no longer CEO but "Block Head," and he is designated (but not titled) as the principal executive officer of the company. Unlike "Technoking" Musk, he had the board amend the corporate bylaws to give the change legal effect. Still, the article should be not only accurate but understandable to unfamiliar readers, and "principal executive officer" in the lead would accomplish both. 67.180.143.89 ( talk) 03:43, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
There is currently contention over the inclusion of the claim that Dorsey worked on open source dispatch software. Although it is clear he worked in the dispatch software industry from his own testimony and information from reputable sources, the claim that his open source dispatch software exists and was used by cab services until 2007 is only supported by a fluff piece and other fluff pieces citing said fluff piece. I’m in favor of the removal of the statement unless better sourcing comes to light. Paragon Deku ( talk) 15:21, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
I can't find any relevance to the section about meditation. Similarly, Personal life is a oneliner, and if there isn't enough relevant information it shouldn't be there, or at least not have its own title section. Miguelsxvi ( talk) 16:29, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
