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.

“Truth is, his show brings in some money and we have no standards.”
So what about @potus @realDonaldTrump and his spin & false accusations via @Twitter Trump shows intent of hurting others with his words and hateful content but yet...
You should ban Alex and anybody else of any political persuasion who engages in targeted harassment of individuals or groups. Your policies are crap and you are failing to unhold high ethical standards, or even low ethical standards.
I paid for a twitter ad. Ad ran with no issue. Then my twitter ad account suspended. I asked multiple times what specific rule had been broken so I could correct issue and was steadfastly refused by your staff. How is that open?
You're not holding ppl like that to the same standards. You have suspended people who have done nothing wrong except express their opinions. Not harassed, not invented conspiracy theories or threatened anyone. You have a double standard. It's all about the $.
Well the World does not need you our any other Left or Right Leaning Tech Giants to be the arbitrators of truth. We can decide for ourselves. And Freedom of Speech was what made the internet great. Not all this Nanny State Censorship by ISPs and Tech Companies.
We don’t want better explanations we want you to enforce your own terms of service. CNN showed you are lying here, please explain why should anyone on this platform ever trust you again?
Well you seem to have answered your own question...you still trust cnn
"We’re going to hold Jones to the same standard we hold to every account..." Bull. You don't hold Trump accountable and he violates your TOS every day. Just say what you mean...that you'll continue to cherry-pick to your liking.
Does jack have a secret deal with 45 & Jones?!? Sure seems that way. Standards, bullshit.
It's your right to decide how your property is to be used, which includes refusing service and/or censoring users. But having a right to do it doesn't make it wise to do. Open dialogue is the best way to correct error, spread truth, and make progress as a society. #freespeech
The First Amendment only applies to the GOVERNMENT! PRIVATE companies can do whatever they want to do in these cases! Some NEED to be censored to stop them from inciting violence and this includes Alex Jones!
I see reading comprehension is not one of your strong points. David did not mention the First Amendment.
As we say in HR, we have specific policies & procedures & we are going to apply them equally to everyone.Why? Because people deserve equal treatment/opportunities under most laws (EEO & others).When U or Ur employees violate written policies, that’s when a company gets in trouble
And more frustrating is that Obama is behind everything bad that has been happening since @realDonaldTrump election. Obama is following Allinsky’s rules and I blame the division of the country on him. The riots supported and paid by Soros disrupt every day’s normalcy. Go Trump!
