SAN FRANCISCO, C.A. – Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey made history today by posting the very first message on the social media platform, otherwise known as a “tweet.”

“just setting up my twttr,” Dorsey wrote.

Unfortunately, the post was immediately flagged and removed by Twitter’s own Department of Legal, Policy, and Safety for being “offensive to individuals who identify with the letter ‘i’”.
