Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has responded to the online backlash following his personal 10-day meditation trip to Myanmar.
Mr Dorsey was labelled "tone deaf" after promoting Myanmar as a travel destination, despite the humanitarian crisis unravelling.
But on Wednesday, Mr Dorsey responded and said: "I don't know enough and need to learn more," about the plight of the Rohingya.
He also answered his critics and explained how the social media giant is responding to the crisis in Myanmar and extremism.
"Twitter is a way for people to share news and information about events in Myanmar as well as to bear witness to the plight of the Rohingya and other peoples and communities," he said.
"We're actively working to address emerging issues. This includes violent extremism and hateful conduct."
Meditation retreat
Mr Dorsey reiterated to his four million followers the trip to Myanmar was a meditation retreat.
The 42-year-old travelled to Myanmar to take part in a meditation retreat last month for his birthday and tweeted on Monday: "Myanmar is an absolutely beautiful country".
He posted a thread about his travels and said: "if you're willing to travel a bit, go to Myanmar".
But many on social media took offence to the tweet claiming it was "tone deaf" because he was ignoring the humanitarian crisis triggered after a Myanmar military operation displaced up to 700,000 Rohingya Muslims in what UN human rights official Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein labelled "textbook ethnic cleansing".
