      A default to free expression left unchecked can generate risks and dangers for people. It’s important Twitter distinguishes between people’s opinions and behaviors, and disarms behavior intending to silence another person, or adversely interfere with their universal human rights.

      We build our policies and rules with a principle of impartiality: objective criteria, rather than on the basis of bias, prejudice, or preferring the benefit to one person over another for improper reasons. If we learn we failed to create impartial outcomes, we work hard to fix.

      In the spirit of accountability and transparency: recently we failed our intended impartiality. Our algorithms were unfairly filtering 600,000 accounts, including some members of Congress, from our search auto-complete and latest results. We fixed it. But how did it happen?

      Our technology was using a decision making criteria that considers the behavior of people following these accounts. We decided that wasn’t fair, and corrected. We‘ll always improve our technology and algorithms to drive healthier usage, and measure the impartiality of outcomes.

      Bias in algorithms is an important topic. Our responsibility is to understand, measure, and reduce accidental bias due to factors such as the quality of the data used to train our algorithms. This is an extremely complex challenge facing everyone applying artificial intelligence.

      For our part, machine learning teams at Twitter are experimenting with these techniques and developing roadmaps to ensure present and future machine learning models uphold a high standard when it comes to algorithmic fairness. It’s an important step towards ensuring impartiality.

      Looking at the data, we analyzed tweets sent by all members of the House and Senate, and found no statistically significant difference between the number of times a tweet by a Democrat is viewed versus a Republican, even after our ranking and filtering of tweets has been applied.

      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.

          Hey dude. I live in St Louis and you know it's great your parents could debate, but I'm sorry, that doesn't equate to both sides having value. St Louis like most major cities has a huge racial and economical divide.

          You can debate all you want, but things like racism, hate, misogyny aren't cool or right and no one needs to hear their side. So it's great you think this story makes you a pious individual, but all it shows is how little you understood of the world around you growing up and now

          I just don't understand how someone who's grown up in a city where you can so readily see the effects of racism and bigotry can make the statements he does. I can't figure out if he's just really naive and believes what he says, is willfully ignorant or just rotten at his core.

          If only times were that simple. But they’re not. None of this is about just a married couple with differing political leanings. It’s so much more and you know it.

          Yes, yes they are that simple. Nothing has changed, outside of people acting like mobs. And mobs are not new. They have been around far longer since the beginning and they’re purely there to pass power between elites.

          This is incorrect. Cultural paradigms have shifted dramatically since the advent of the internet. Information is being shared on a scale never seen before. Allowing hatred on any platform is a huge mistake, as it can spread far more easily, under any guise.

          Last note: If you strongly disagree with a person. That doesn’t mean that they’re speaking hate. It just means that they’re speaking about something you strongly disagree with. It is up to the DOJ to establish what hate speech is. The term is used far, FAR to loosely.

          Except people are specifically asking for hate speech and those who use it to be removed from Twitter. This isn't a difficult concept.

          This isn’t new and one person, organization, or group doesn’t have the ‘power’ to rewrite any part of our democracy. That’s what makes freedoms so desirable. The Marxist may as well be a religion, because their morality politics are pure trash.

          I take it one parent never threatened the other one then, and if they did, when police were called, they didn't say "Nope, soz, this thing that is obviously terroristic threatening doesn't violate our TOS. Have you thought about blocking the offender?"
