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.

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.

1. Trump RTs antisemitic memes
2. His tweets are abusive—@morningmika “Needs a Bleeding Facelift”
3. His tweets have threatened one or many, sometimes millions at a time (North Korea, Guam)
4. Trump incited millions to harass other accounts

Thank god for seeing one social media platform that talks sense. Banning Alex jones and leaving up antifa and other hate sites shows political bias and it’s scary that one man who owns a social media site has so much control over what people see and don’t see based on his bias.
-
Antifa stands for anti-fascists it’s not a hate group

FYI I have no political bias but I do support free speech. If you consider info wars hate speech there are many other groups and pages still rolling on that are far more hateful and extreme. This is an obvious political decision. That’s fine if there is more than one platform

Give us a break, Jack! Jones' bilious lies, including that the murders of the Sandy Hook Elementary children were “synthetic, completely fake, with actors,” clearly sully the platform.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/08/opinion/twitter-alex-jones-jack-dorsey.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Fopinion&action=click&contentCollection=opinion®ion=rank&module=package&version=highlights&contentPlacement=1&pgtype=sectionfront …

Why do you have algorithms? And why have you limited my access to my own account, unsubscribe followers I've accepted and erase Tweets I've written?

We are not talking about political viewpoints. We're talking about a conspiracy theorist who harassed the families of dead kindergartners until they went into hiding. This is not about views, this is about virulent lies and violent harassment.

Speaking out against TERFS (which is not a slur, it's just a descriptor of political views) gets you banned on twitter, but attacking the victims of violent crimes and tragedy is fine. Your notion of which "views" are protected and which violate rules is CORRUPT NONSENSE.

Its already that way. You went on right wing radio to defend this! Not a viewpoint neutral show, a right wing filth ball show! Why? Could it be that the right wing is a disinformation campaign? Could it be that your excuses are just disinformation too?
#FireJack -
But that's the point, this is still a free country the last time I chkd, who are you to bash him or tell Jack what show he goes on or who he talks to? To many angry people always telling people what they should do, and if they don't tow the line, trouble is made for those people!

Jones makes money off of his self -admitted false talking points. You allow someone to profit of immoral activities. I’m sure you got another rule in there regarding that you will not enforce. If I win the lotto, billboards will read
@jack supports hate speech for $$ ... -
"Self-admitted"? WHAT are you talking about? You are obviously delusional. By the way: there is NO SUCH THING as "hate speech". It does not exist in the USA. Period.

The Left agrees? Really? That's good.
