WikiLeaks is a website set up by Julian Assange to help whistleblowers publish documents and leaked data, the documents published are accessible to anyone.

The documents, which cover events such as the suspension of Donald Trump's account, have been released on Twitter by independent journalists, including Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss.

News outlets have reported on the files from the screenshots and details presented by the journalists.

In his blog post, Dorsey also condemned the threats that had been leveled at Twitter employees after the release of some internal Twitter communications.

The company's former head of trust and safety, Yoel Roth, has reportedly fled his home due to intensifying threats of violence spurred by the "Twitter Files" and criticism from Elon Musk.

Dorsey did not mention Musk specifically in the blog. Instead, he tried to redirect the blame onto himself.

He wrote: "The current attacks on my former colleagues could be dangerous and doesn't solve anything. If you want to blame, direct it at me and my actions, or lack thereof."

Reflecting on the Twitter Files, Dorsey said that under his leadership the platform had done the "wrong thing for the internet and society."

Representatives for Musk and Twitter did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. Dorsey could not immediately be reached.
