Using the positive power of Twitter to strengthen our communities
Our company is built on community. Together, we can be a force for good.
OUR MISSION
We use the positive power of Twitter to strengthen our communities through our platform, people, and profits.

We help people understand healthy digital habits and online safety. We support organizations that tackle issues like bullying, abuse, and hate speech. We support initiatives that defend and respect all voices by promoting free expression and defending civil liberties.
Freedom of speech expression and civil liberties
We support initiatives that defend and respect all voices by promoting free expression and defending civil liberties.
