We’re committing Twitter to help increase the collective health, openness, and civility of public conversation, and to hold ourselves publicly accountable towards progress.

While working to fix it, we‘ve been accused of apathy, censorship, political bias, and optimizing for our business and share price instead of the concerns of society. This is not who we are, or who we ever want to be.

We’ve focused most of our efforts on removing content against our terms, instead of building a systemic framework to help encourage more healthy debate, conversations, and critical thinking. This is the approach we now need.

Recently we were asked a simple question: could we measure the “health” of conversation on Twitter? This felt immediately tangible as it spoke to understanding a holistic system rather than just the problematic parts.

If you want to improve something, you have to be able to measure it. The human body has a number of indicators of overall health, some very simple, like internal temperature. We know how to measure it, and we know some methods to bring it back in balance.

Our friends at
@cortico and@socialmachines introduced us to the concept of measuring conversational health. They came up with four indicators: shared attention, shared reality, variety of opinion, and receptivity. Read about their work here:https://www.cortico.ai/blog/2018/2/29/public-sphere-health-indicators …Show this thread -
We don’t yet know if those are the right indicators of conversation health for Twitter. And we don’t yet know how best to measure them, or the best ways to help people increase individual, community, and ultimately, global public health.

What we know is we must commit to a rigorous and independently vetted set of metrics to measure the health of public conversation on Twitter. And we must commit to sharing our results publicly to benefit all who serve the public conversation.

We simply can’t and don’t want to do this alone. So we’re seeking help by opening up an RFP process to cast the widest net possible for great ideas and implementations. This will take time, and we’re committed to providing all the necessary resources. RFP:https://blog.twitter.com/official/en_us/topics/company/2018/twitter-health-metrics-proposal-submission.html …

Sounds like it’s too much for you to manage, we the people would like the FCC to manage twitter as a Public Space so your “leanings” will not interfere with our FREE SPEECH rights. Then you have all the help you need.

“We aren’t proud of how people have taken advantage of our service...” not taking any responsibility for anything- it’s all everyone else fault - you don’t lean left Jackyboy you are a far left progressive socialist and everything filtered through that anti-American ideology FCC

Liar. You're company uses it's own bots, and your employees use them regularly to promote trends that favor the liberal agenda. I have kept track of literally THOUSANDS of botnets used by Twitter and the servers and IP locations they come from. See you at Congresspic.twitter.com/c4DK96GWPI

How far down the criminal conspiracy ladder, abusive behavior that disrupts markets, and lack of human civility must one be to be removed from Twitter? I’m asking for a friend. One who was a candidate in 2016 and now holds a very high office.
