Curious as to why Twitter continues to verify white supremacists, Seth Rogen went straight to the source — the social network’s founder, Jack Dorsey.
The actor sent Dorsey a direct message, which Rogan asserted on Wednesday led to a fruitless exchange.
I’ve been DMing with @jack about his bizarre need to verify white supremacists on his platform for the last 8 months or so, and after all the exchanges, I’ve reached a conclusion: the dude simply does not seem to give a fuck.

Rogan is vocal about his liberal stance on Twitter, most recently tweeting to Ron Paul about the anti-Semitic and racist cartoon he shared yesterday to illustrate Cultural Marxism.
Hey @RonPaul, are you sure you don’t wanna stick with the original image you posted with your tweet? #civility. pic.twitter.com/zzDLNiyg3q
