.@jack, please don’t blame the current state of play on communications. These decisions aren’t easy, but they aren’t comms calls and it’s unhelpful to denigrate your colleagues whose credibility will help explain them 1/4https://twitter.com/jack/status/1026984245925793792 …
Also, FWIW I think this is the wrong call. Jones’ behavior isn’t a one-off. Twitter started examining offline behavior as a factor in verification last fall. If your policy doesn’t account for Jones-like activity on/offline then the policy isn’t serving a healthy conversation 2/4
If I still worked for you I’d have advised you to frame this as a sign that if current Twitter policies permit verified accounts to encourage followers to harass/harm people offline, then the policies aren’t working as intended & Twitter is looking hard at the way forward 3/4
Designing scalable policy on this is incredibly hard. No company will always get it right. But this is an opportunity to take a stand and commit to making and enforcing hard choices in service of promoting healthy conversation. I hope you revisit this decision. 4/4
I remind you a great citizen of your country: I swear before the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man. You propose a form of tyranny over freedom of expression and then call yourself "democrats." You are a political oxymoron.
So true. One of the other accounts is the president’s who’s using the platform to bully, threaten and misinform the public. We can’t allow such individuals to use this platform. Twitter needs to take a hard stand. RN they to be part of this negativity.
Okay, so I say you can't twitter because I find your disregard for 1st ammendment dangerous.
YOU, are just an absolutely wretched person! Losing the argument and media battle and your answer is to ban your opponent, lazy mind!
LOOK HERE YOU FREEDOM HATING BIGOT. THE FIRST AMENDMENT STILL MATTERS LAST TIME I CHECKED AND IF TWITTER DOESNT WANT TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE THINGS THAT ARE POSTED... THEY MUST UPHOLD THESE STANDARDS EQUALLY
Big shocker, Obama’s lackey promotes censorship. Meanwhile, Obama promotes land confiscations of white farmers in South Africa. Democrats have always been the racists! - @RealCandaceO
“Jones-like activity”. Please elaborate.
Did she ever answer? Curious to "understand" her definition...
Still waiting. Hoping. Yearning to understand.
Emily, Why r u advising Twitter to ban Alex Jones? Are you afraid that facts will seep into the faulty liberal ideology & turn their base away? Or is it that u r a typical SMUG. ARROGANT leftist who thinks she knows better than the rest of society outside your misguided circles?
TYRANNY
Thank you for being the first person I’ve heard framing this in terms of how Jones violated ToS, not just saying the call is obvious because Jones is a terrible person.
Oh BS! You lefties are ok with hateful messeges as long as it fits your agenda! This behavior of shutting down free speech is closer to what Hitler did and you aren't bright enough to get that!
