For those not in the know, these are two of the most highly regarded operators in the Valley (if not as well known). Sarah was thought of as the person who "ran" Square, and Kevin is thought of as one of the strongest product leaders. They'd both be in my top 3 worldwide hires I'd try to make for these roles.

I don't think she's someone to be admired. Being ceo of an app that is IMO rife with bigotry, xenophobia, and scare mongering.

A UI can promote positive interactions, and a moderation team can mitigate negative ones. Quite tired of hearing implications that social media platforms aren't shaping the way people communicate on them.
