    We’re committing Twitter to help increase the collective health, openness, and civility of public conversation, and to hold ourselves publicly accountable towards progress.

    Agree w all of this. Our early values informed our rules. We likely over-rotated on one value, & then let the rules react to rapidly changing circumstances (some we helped create). We need to root these values in human rights law. A starting consideration:

    lots of sharp observations/reporting in this piece, but i have a few quick reactions —> Rules Won’t Save Twitter. Values Will.

    Great post and critique by . And agree my original suggestion around journalists was “hamfisted” & wrong. We’d love to openly discuss and help design protocols to make decentralized policy and enforcement possible.

    Thank you, Will. We will keep this conversation open and public.

    I've been impressed by the public conversations among twitter staff about this . Leaving the specific case to one side, I think twitter deserves more credit than they've got for their approach to misinformation specifically (thread)

    More context on why our rules are currently where they are and how we’re thinking about evolving them.

    Here's an email I sent Twitter employees today with more context around our thinking and our policies.

    Thank you Emily. Proud to work for an open company not afraid to speak up and push us all forward. Someday maybe we can have most of our conversations debates and disagreements right here on Twitter for everyone to see.

    Glad to see Twitter leadership encouraging thoughtful feedback from the team. And 🙌 Change is hard. Leadership is hard. Change and leadership on the world stage, on an open platform, in real time, are very hard. Good on and team for engaging and iterating 1/2

    Some fair points here. We certainly have a lot of work to do to help journalists do their jobs better. That’s our intent. Help with reach, balance, and economic incentives. We’re behind on those last two. Shouldn’t take away from skepticism and critical thinking tho.

    If had said this differently, journos might've said thanks: Twitter exists in a larger ecosystem in which journalism adds tremendous value. Every citizen would be wise to depend on journalists to confirm information and refute lies. We at Twitter value journalism highly.

    Definitely not happy with where our policies are. They need to constantly evolve. Doing that work. Thanks for the thoughtful tweets and push, Mike

    I don't agree with everything Twitter does or doesn't do. If we can consistently enforce the policies and terms of service for the platform, that's a good thing. But it doesn't mean we should be satisfied with the policies we have.

    Relying on algorithms alone will not work. Not today, not tomorrow. And we know providing broader reach isn’t enough. We need to figure out how to help with economic incentives too. We’re behind on that, but thinking deeply about it. Open to great and scalable ideas.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
