We want to provide an update on the conversation over the last 24 hours around why and how we enforce our policies. As we indicated yesterday, tweets from Alex Jones and InfoWars are not currently in violation of our Rules.

If individuals are not targeted (e.g. @ mention, tagged in a photo, etc.), we allow a wide range of content as long as it doesn't cross the line into threatening violence.

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.

We are always evaluating the changing nature of conversation online, and our policies. We wanted to share more context here: https://blog.twitter.com/official/en_us/topics/company/2018/TheTwitterRulesALivingDocument.html … We value your feedback. It makes us better.

CNN won’t be banned. Trying to compare them to Alex Jones is pure nonsense, and you know it. Just say no to the Kool-Aid. Tell all your “friends”.

Wait why do you allow expression on this platform that supports bigotry? Bigotry doesn't serve the common interest, it fuels more violence toward the targeted group!

Alex Jones targets Sandy Hook parents to be harassed. So right away you’re showing you don’t believe that very thing.
