    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.

        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.

        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.

        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.

        I have been thinking about this response from @jack throughout today. I enjoy Twitter a lot. I curate, mute and follow people and things I’m interested in. I’ve made *human* friends from this place. I get information about records & gigs, etc, etc… (1/14)https://twitter.com/jack/status/1026984242893357056 …

        I’ve also been lucky to avoid any direct flare-ups with any Twitter troll/asshole. I’ve done that by generally being non-contentious on here, unless you’re going to have a go at Pink Floyd’s The Final Cut and then I’ll attack. And yet @jack’s response is NOT GOOD ENOUGH… (2/14)

        There’s a thing going down these days which in my mind I call “The New Cowardice”. It’s pretty straightforward really. When you see a decision or a behaviour that strikes you as odd or off-colour, ask yourself: “Could this be cowardice?” cc @jack (3/14)

        So let’s take @jack’s decision not to silence the voices of hate on this forum - yes! He’s being a coward. Afraid of shareholders, afraid of user numbers, afraid of retribution. No courage whatsoever. This must be the world he wants to live in. (4/14)

        “The New Cowardice” is everywhere. The king is someone I try to avoid mentioning on here. See can you guess who it is? Afraid of knowledge, afraid of science, afraid of women, afraid of truth, afraid of his limitations, afraid of Merkel. Yes! That guy. (6/14)

        And this is disingenuous hogwash too. It’s not my job to improve Twitter, @jack, if you can’t tell right from wrong you shouldn’t leave the house. You could put a filter on tomorrow to block hate speech and bots, but…cowardice… (7/14)https://twitter.com/jack/status/1027209149153607681 …

        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. https://twitter.com/jack/status/1026984249960755200 …

        I mean, over 400 hours of video goes up on YouTube every minute. Try including a bit of copyrighted music and watch it get flagged and removed. So Twitter can filter some typed words in tweets and bios. It’s not hard, @jack, so just tell the truth: you don’t want to do it. (8/14)

        I called Nigel Farage a lying, racist tw*t this morning. Half a second later I got a 12 hour restriction. Shouldn’t my tweet have been allowed to stand until journalists had been given time to investigate my assertion?

        Or should I have just called him a crisis actor, tweeted out his home address and allowed him to be chased out of town in true twitter fashion?

        You need new rules. He has used his platform to terrorize the parents of children who were killed at Sandy Hook. Maybe take a page from the rest of the social media platforms. But you go right on with hanging out with Hannity. You're a fraud who cares nothing about online safety.

        The fact that he’s on Hannity tells you everything you need to know about his position. He’s cool with it.
