Can we?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The answer is no,&#8221; Dorsey deadpanned directly to camera.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Twitter launched in 2006 as an SMS text messaging service. And, as anyone who&#8217;s ever used a phone knows: once you send a text, there&#8217;s no taking it back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;We wanted to preserve that vibe and that feeling in the early days,&#8221; Dorsey explained.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But no one tweets using Short Message Service anymore, and web and app users yearn for the ability to revise their 280-character commentary\u2014whether to fix a spelling mistake or mend a broken link.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"flex-video widescreen embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/de8wRd2TQQU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The company has considered a workaround: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/tech\/jack-dorsey-twitter-is-considering-short-window-to-edit-tweets-1772889\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">In an interview last year<\/a> with Joe Rogan, Dorsey addressed the possibility of a short window during which users can refine their message before unveiling it to the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He has teased anything from a 5-second to one-minute lag in sending, allowing folks a few moments to annotate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;But that also means that we have to delay sending that tweet out,&#8221; Dorsey said. &#8220;Because once it&#8217;s out, people see it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;So, there are all the considerations, he continued, adding that &#8220;we&#8217;ll probably never do it.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More on Geek.com:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/tech\/twitter-tests-reply-limiting-feature-to-curb-bullying-1815815\/\"  rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Twitter Tests Reply-Limiting Feature to Curb Bullying<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/tech\/twitter-brings-back-candidate-labels-ahead-of-2020-u-s-elections-1813684\/\"  rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Twitter Brings Back Candidate Labels Ahead of 2020 U.S. Elections<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/tech\/twitter-wont-shutter-inactive-accounts-until-it-can-memorialize-the-dead-1812133\/\"  rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Twitter Won&#8217;t Shutter Inactive Accounts Until It Can Memorialize the Dead<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/tech\/thishappened-on-twitter-in-2019-1813297\/\"  rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#ThisHappened on Twitter in 2019<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/dorsey-1-650x366.jpg\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\"><\/p>\n<div>Twitter will &#8216;probably never&#8217;
