TECH - Jack Dorsey Steps Down From Bluesky Board Amidst Controversy At Block Refers To Elon Musk's X As 'Freedom Technology' | Benzinga
In a surprising turn of events, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey has stepped down from the board of Bluesky, the decentralized social media platform he backed.
What Happened: Bluesky confirmed Dorsey’s departure in two posts on Sunday, expressing gratitude toward Dorsey and announcing its search for a new board member who shares its vision of a user-controlled social network.

Bluesky’s announcement came a day after Dorsey, in response to a user’s query on X, formerly Twitter, replied “no” to being on the company’s board. TechCrunch noted this first and pointed out Dorsey’s recent activity on X, where he unfollowed all but three accounts and praised X, which was acquired by Elon Musk in 2022, as “freedom technology.”
