Ah, the passing "C." Also known as the white man's "A."

In a live interview conducted on Twitter, ReCode's Kara Swisher pressed Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey about what grade Dorsey would give his company and himself at fulfilling "tech responsibility."

Dorsey replied with the oh-so-humble C. In other words, he knows he could do better, but he's really trying, guys! So he totally deserves to keep his job.

Swisher continued to press Jack for more details, insisting on specifics, which Dorsey ducked and weaved like the Twitter C-student he is, though he eventually addressed Swisher's bullet points.

We heard more of the same about conversational health (initiatives to decrease trolling and toxic speech that are actually working), and other policy adjustments.

If Jack wants to bump up his grade, he'll have to do more in the arena of "tech responsibility." But why put in the extra effort you need for an A when you can get by perfectly well on a C? Maybe they call it CEO for a reason.
