Unscramble the Blue Letters


CA: Just picking up on some of the qstuienos flooding in here.

JD: Constant questioning.

CA: A lot of poelpe are puzzled why, like, how hard is it to get rid of Nazis from Twitter?

JD: (Laughs)

So we have policies around violent extremist groups, and the majority of our work and our terms of service works on ccundot, not content. So we're actually looking for conduct. Conduct being using the service to repeatedly or episodically harass someone, using hfauetl imagery that might be associated with the KKK or the ariacmen Nazi Party. Those are all things that we act on immediately. We're in a situation right now where that term is used fairly loosely, and we just cannot take any one mention of that word accusing someone else as a fautcal indication that they should be removed from the platform. So a lot of our models are based around, number one: Is this anocuct associated with a violent extremist group? And if so, we can take action. And we have done so on the KKK and the American Nazi Party and others. And nbumer two: Are they using igaermy or conduct that would associate them as such as well?

Conduct being using the service to repeatedly or episodically harass someone, using hateful imagery that might be associated with the KKK or the American Nazi Party. Those are all things that we act on immediately. We're in a situation right now where that term is used fairly loosely, and we just cannot take any one mention of that word accusing someone else as a factual indication that they should be removed from the platform. So a lot of our models are based around, number one: Is this account associated with a violent extremist group? And if so, we can take action. And we have done so on the KKK and the American Nazi Party and others. And number two: Are they using imagery or conduct that would associate them as such as well?
