I want to start by making something clear: we don't consider political viewpoints, perspectives, or party affiliation in any of our policies or enforcement decisions. Period. Impartiality is our guiding principle. Let me explain why.

Also, there’s a distinction we need to make clear. When people follow you, you’ve earned that audience. And we have a responsibility to make sure they can see your tweets. We do not have a responsibility, nor you a right, to amplify your tweets to audiences that don’t follow you.

What our algorithms decide to show in shared spaces, like search results, is based on thousands of signals that constantly learn and evolve over time. Some of those signals are engagement, some are the number of abuse reports. We balance all of these to prevent gaming our system.

We acknowledge the growing concern people have of the power held by companies like Twitter. We believe it’s dangerous to ask Twitter to regulate opinions or be the arbiter of truth. We’d rather be judged by the impartiality of outcomes, and criticized when we fail this principle.

In closing, when I think of our work, I think of my mom and dad in St. Louis, a Democrat and a Republican. We had lots of frustrating and heated debates, but looking back, I appreciate I was able to hear and challenge different perspectives. And I appreciate I felt safe to do so.

We believe Twitter helps people connect to something bigger than themselves, shows all the amazing things happening in the world, and all the things we need to acknowledge and address. We‘re constantly learning how to make it freer and healthier for all to participate. Thank you.

Data can be interpreted many ways, depending on who is analyzing the data! Don’t buy this one bit.

MSM says
@realDonaldTrump is at 44%, conservative media says 52%...technically they both are within the window of error but the interpretation differs -
That 52% number came from Trump himself. What media had it?
-
The 52% was the high scale of the poll and the 44% was the low with the margin of error, which proves my point of what was stated previously

Because you wouldn’t dare censor a senator or representative. But anyone else seems to be fair game.

if republican tweets are 1% worse, they should be 1% more likely to be filtered. the algorithm should be unbiased on input, NOT on output

This is total BS. Just bc you state one of your parents were republican doesn’t excuse the fact that your bias shows, really badly against conservative people. And what did alex jones ever do to deserve his platform being pulled from underneath him. High tech monopolies, this is
