Severe violations include but are not limited to: engaging in illegal content or activity, inciting or threatening violence or harm, privacy violations, platform manipulation or spam, and engaging in targeted harassment of our users. — PolitiTweet.org

Twitter Safety @TwitterSafety

Going forward, we will take less severe actions, such as limiting the reach of policy-violating Tweets or asking you to remove Tweets before you can continue using your account. Account suspension will be reserved for severe or ongoing, repeat violations of our policies. — PolitiTweet.org

Twitter Safety @TwitterSafety

We did not reinstate accounts that engaged in illegal activity, threats of harm or violence, large-scale spam and platform manipulation, or when there was no recent appeal to have the account reinstated. — PolitiTweet.org

Twitter Safety @TwitterSafety

As we shared earlier, we have been proactively reinstating previously suspended accounts. Starting February 1, anyone can appeal an account suspension and be evaluated under our new criteria for reinstatement. — PolitiTweet.org

These rules exist to reduce spam and prevent disruption of others’ experience on the platform. For more info, you can read the full policy here: https://t.co/AyT3TObATS — PolitiTweet.org

The Twitter Rules still apply even if you have multiple accounts. Do not use them to evade bans or otherwise violate the Twitter Rules. Users who already operate more than 10 accounts should not be enforced as long as they follow the rules. — PolitiTweet.org

Twitter Safety @TwitterSafety

You can create up to 10 Twitter accounts, but don’t create accounts for spammy purposes. Your accounts should have unique content and shouldn’t repeatedly like and retweet each other’s Tweets to boost engagement and visibility. — PolitiTweet.org

Don’t include completely unrelated, trending hashtags in Tweets in order to bring more attention to your content. — PolitiTweet.org

Twitter Safety @TwitterSafety

Don’t mention accounts repeatedly an excessive number of times, especially with the same type of content and/or links. This could also lead to users blocking you and/or reporting your behavior as targeted harassment, particularly when it includes hateful conduct. — PolitiTweet.org

Twitter Safety @TwitterSafety

Don’t post the same (or almost the same) content or links over and over again, especially in threads where the topic is not directly related to the content or links you are posting. — PolitiTweet.org

Twitter Safety @TwitterSafety

We’ve heard from some of you that it’s not always clear what behaviors can result in spam for users and your account potentially being enforced for platform manipulation. Here are some things to avoid: — PolitiTweet.org

We heard feedback that people want to see a longer lookback period for these insights, so we extended this to 120 days (previously ~60 days). We’re also sharing the actual chart from our internal analytics tool, rather than a designed image, to give further transparency. https://t.co/aV7sY6pgVK — PolitiTweet.org

Here's an update on our efforts to reduce the reach of hateful speech on Twitter. 🧵 — PolitiTweet.org

We recently made a change that resulted in some users receiving inaccurate messages about their account's reach. We have fixed this and users should no longer be experiencing these issues. — PolitiTweet.org

Moving forward, we will align our advertising policy with that of TV and other media outlets. As with all policy changes, we will first ensure that our approach to reviewing and approving content protects people on Twitter. We'll share more details as this work progresses. — PolitiTweet.org

Twitter Safety @TwitterSafety

We believe that cause-based advertising can facilitate public conversation around important topics. Today, we're relaxing our ads policy for cause-based ads in the US. We also plan to expand the political advertising we permit in the coming weeks. — PolitiTweet.org

Twitter Safety @TwitterSafety

Should we have a policy preventing the creation of or use of existing accounts for the main purpose of advertising other social media platforms? — PolitiTweet.org

Twitter Safety @TwitterSafety

We’ll continue to share updates about our progress in this area in the coming months as we work to introduce user controls and transparency in-app. — PolitiTweet.org

Overall impressions of Tweets that contain slurs in English have stabilized, and remain below our pre-acquisition baseline. We've updated the y-axis scale used previously and determined that actual impressions are even lower than previously reported. https://t.co/uvTlVQ0NH2 — PolitiTweet.org

Impressions of this content will never be zero, however over the last week, impressions of this content made up less than 0.015% of all English-language Tweet impressions on the platform. — PolitiTweet.org

Twitter Safety @TwitterSafety

When we detect a slur and determine it is being used in a negative way (this is what we mean by “toxic”), we avoid recommending this content to most users. We may still show it to followers, as well as people who seek it out. — PolitiTweet.org

We’re continuing our work to reduce the reach (number of impressions) of hateful speech on Twitter. 🧵 — PolitiTweet.org

We remain fully committed to preventing harmful content and bad actors. Reinstated accounts still need to comply with our rules and permanent suspension remains an enforcement action for serious violations: https://t.co/8izIAjTdwS — PolitiTweet.org

Twitter Safety @TwitterSafety

We’ve identified several policies where permanent suspension was a disproportionate action for breaking Twitter rules. We recently started reinstating accounts that were suspended for violations of these policies and plan to expand to more accounts weekly over the next 30 days. — PolitiTweet.org
