Wikipedia founder reveals his battle to take down vile allegations on Twitter - and why he sympathizes with Twitter's moderators.

Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales has revealed that he had to email Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to get accusations of pedophilia removed from the social network.

“Someone said something horrific about me, accusing me of terrible crimes - pedophilia - which were posted on Twitter,” said Wales, adding the allegations were “very specific”. It was at this point that Wales leaned on his personal relationship with Dorsey. “I’m in a very privileged position because I know Jack Dorsey and several members of the [Twitter] board. And so I emailed Jack and he said ‘don’t worry, we will take care of this. I said ‘not really my point, Jack!’”Wales, who was discussing how social media companies should be regulated with the British politicians, then revealed that he was subject to further allegations of the same nature.
