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.

Awful awful decision. Alex Jones has harassed families whose children were murdered to the point some have had to move over 5x’s. Twitter rules need to change. Humanity is important. Please reconsider.

He has harrassed & denigrated Sandy Hook parents, & he peddles flat out lies that can endagner people, but that doesn't violate your rules?! Only a matter of time before he says something that gets someone killed, & you'll be named in the lawsuit for allowing him a platform.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I will tell you what I would tell all my friends in this situation: this is a cop out and you know better than this.

This is, by all rights, *your* platform. You know that this person will use your platform to cause and promote harm at scale. There is no reason to allow that.
