Why? We love instant, public, global messaging and conversation. It’s what Twitter is and it’s why we‘re here. But we didn’t fully predict or understand the real-world negative consequences. We acknowledge that now, and are determined to find holistic and fair solutions.

We have witnessed abuse, harassment, troll armies, manipulation through bots and human-coordination, misinformation campaigns, and increasingly divisive echo chambers. We aren’t proud of how people have taken advantage of our service, or our inability to address it fast enough.

While working to fix it, we‘ve been accused of apathy, censorship, political bias, and optimizing for our business and share price instead of the concerns of society. This is not who we are, or who we ever want to be.

We’ve focused most of our efforts on removing content against our terms, instead of building a systemic framework to help encourage more healthy debate, conversations, and critical thinking. This is the approach we now need.

Recently we were asked a simple question: could we measure the “health” of conversation on Twitter? This felt immediately tangible as it spoke to understanding a holistic system rather than just the problematic parts.

If you want to improve something, you have to be able to measure it. The human body has a number of indicators of overall health, some very simple, like internal temperature. We know how to measure it, and we know some methods to bring it back in balance.

Our friends at
@cortico and@socialmachines introduced us to the concept of measuring conversational health. They came up with four indicators: shared attention, shared reality, variety of opinion, and receptivity.

We don’t yet know if those are the right indicators of conversation health for Twitter. And we don’t yet know how best to measure them, or the best ways to help people increase individual, community, and ultimately, global public health.

What we know is we must commit to a rigorous and independently vetted set of metrics to measure the health of public conversation on Twitter. And we must commit to sharing our results publicly to benefit all who serve the public conversation.

We simply can’t and don’t want to do this alone. So we’re seeking help by opening up an RFP process to cast the widest net possible for great ideas and implementations. This will take time, and we’re committed to providing all the necessary resources. RFP:https://blog.twitter.com/official/en_us/topics/company/2018/twitter-health-metrics-proposal-submission.html …

Glad to see this thread,
@jack. As you knew well would happen, the replies by your customers show how tough the job will be. -
Definitely don’t believe this will be easy. That’s why we must be more open.

Conversations are not "healthy", they are respectful. By censoring disrespect you are not being more "open".
-
Mutual respect is the basis of any healthy relationship. Public discourse in the "town square" is NOT about relationships.
-
It's about debate and disagreement and free expression (within limits). "Open" is no substitute for "free" any more than..

.. an "open house" is a FREE house. You're offering finger sandwiches like a Realtor attempting to convince a buyer this..

.. is a good deal. Instead you will split the market and fracture the platform into Gab, Telegram, etc.

You've started down the slippery slope of The Thought Police-It was nice while it lasted. At least you're winning w/Square
