There has been recent discussion regarding how we protect dissident voices on Twitter, particularly in Saudi Arabia. We want to take a moment to clarify some facts.
We understand the incredible risks faced by many who use our service to hold power to account, and we have strong tools in place to protect their privacy and their ability to do their vital work.
We have teams around the world who work to improve the health of the public conversation. None of these policy enforcement teams are based in the MENA region at all, including our Dubai office. Recent accusations to the contrary are false.
We rigorously limit access to sensitive account information to a small group of employees with extensive security and privacy training. No other personnel have the ability to access this information, regardless of where they operate.
We are committed to protecting those who use our service to advocate for equality, individual freedoms, and human rights. We will continue to take steps to strengthen their privacy protections and overall safety.
