      .@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 …

      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.

      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

          So do we all ! @jack - your explanation just doesn’t hold water. You can and must do better. To allow the #AlexJones of the worlds spew their hate, lies and conspiracy theories and terrorize good people is wrong and agains you’re own terms. Uphold your terms !!

          Jones is a batshit loon, I’ll grant you that, but would you accept that banning people for (or even having a policy of) not ‘promoting healthy conversation’, is getting very Orwellian.

          Emily, you NEARLY gave me an endorsement on that but then quickly deleted it. That was your subconscious telling you that you know I’m right. ;)

          What is wrong with you!!! You promote this treatment to silence anyone but your opinion and the opinion of the left. I applaud @jack for his sane decision. I think you are wrong and so stop harassing him. That is a violation of Twitter terms of service.

          Glad you are former communications. I like Twitter as a more freewheeling platform. I’m smart enough to understand what I’m reading, don’t need you to filter it.
