Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey rejected the idea of eliminating the 140 character limit on Tweets. The company lifted that limit to 10,000 characters on direct messages in 2015, and Mr. Dorsey suggested at that time that he was considering lifting it on tweets, as well. On Friday, however, Mr. Dorsey said during an interview on NBC's Today, "Absolutely not. Twitter has always been about controls. People can follow who they want, and it’s our job to make sure they see the most important things." Twitter turns 10 years old on Monday, March 21st. [Via Variety]
