Dorsey acknowledged Trump's frequent use of Twitter and said it's an "important time" for the company, as it made it clear the role his social media company plays in disseminating news in real-time.

But at the same time, it's given him "complicated" feelings as it puts more responsibility on the company, and it's unclear where things will go from here.

"We have a role and responsibility to make sure that people are seeing what they need to see and they can have easy conversations and really get to the truth. And that's complicated," he said. "We have to learn even faster now."
