    *but not the journalists of color and women journalists on Twitter who have been begging Jack to ban the fucking Nazis, G*merg*ters, trolls, doxxers, and harassers for years

    One of the most important constituencies we serve is our journalist population. Has been since day 1. We don’t mean to shift the work here. We must build tools to help (and need to work together to do that). We can’t be a useful service without the integrity journalists bring.

    Petition to end coat hanger fear-mongering around self-managed abortion care period, but if we have to have it, petition for people to at least stop using the ones with the cardboard roll that protects your slacks from creasing

    Who is to say if sandy hook or the Holocaust happened. Who can know

    As we have stated publicly, we strongly believe Twitter should not be the arbiter of truth nor do we have scalable solutions to determine and action what’s true or false.

    Have you considered adding a new rule against users who harass the parents of dead kindergartners so much that they have to go into hiding?

    We didn’t suspend Alex Jones or Infowars yesterday. We know that’s hard for many but the reason is simple: he hasn’t violated our rules. We’ll enforce if he does. And we’ll continue to promote a healthy conversational environment by ensuring tweets aren’t artificially amplified.

    That's cool , have u also started a fund to pay journalists who get to do this newly necessary work b/c a conspiracy theorist has a level playing field? And one for families who get death threats from Jones' fans? Or is this one of those "you get paid in exposure" dealies?

    Accounts like Jones' can often sensationalize issues and spread unsubstantiated rumors, so it’s critical journalists document, validate, and refute such information directly so people can form their own opinions. This is what serves the public conversation best.

    I mean, what exactly are the standards you’re holding users to, ? Because I’ve had a ton of threats tweeted at me often that also apparently don’t violate the rules. 🤷🏽‍♀️ wrote a whole report on it:

    Truth is we’ve been terrible at explaining our decisions in the past. We’re fixing that. We’re going to hold Jones to the same standard we hold to every account, not taking one-off actions to make us feel good in the short term, and adding fuel to new conspiracy theories.

    “impartially regardless of political viewpoints”

    If we succumb and simply react to outside pressure, rather than straightforward principles we enforce (and evolve) impartially regardless of political viewpoints, we become a service that’s constructed by our personal views that can swing in any direction. That’s not us.

    What extra sucks about the whole shebang is that I think Note Man had been trying to get my attention before he wrote the note but I'd been ignoring his eye contact. You know, because he might be a creep on the train.

    “It was irrelevant to me who may or may not have said that in the past,” said. “If no one else said it, attribute the quote to me because it's what I believe in."

    NEW: Some insights are timeless — and some are just erroneous. Texas Gov. tweets fake Winston Churchill quote about anti-fascists and he's unlikely to delete it.
