1/7 We’ve been focusing on proactive initiatives to make Twitter healthier and keep people safe. A more holistic approach allows us to better address potential rule violations and coordinated attacks before we receive reports. Learn more👇
2/7 Our first goal is to improve our proactive detection of abuse to not rely exclusively on reports — we’re now at 38% for abuse and this is just the start…
3/7 We also know that repeat offenders tweet a disproportionate volume of abusive content which is why we have doubled-down on catching them...
4/7 Next, we need to supplement proactive detection with better responses to reports. We’ve expanded our team and improved our machine learning models to get to more violating content, faster:
5/7 For content that doesn’t violate our rules, we also look to reduce negative interactions between strangers since this is a large source of abuse...
6/7 Finally, we continue to work on giving people new controls over their conversations...
7/7 We’re actively hiring to expand our work. Know someone that can help? Please share ->

We are excited to announce that Twitter has selected two partner groups to measure the health of the public conversation 1/
The two groups from academics across multiple institutions will study echo chambers, uncivil discourse and bridging gaps between communities.

Thank you to everyone that submitted a proposal. We look forward to keeping you updated as research progresses 🙏🏼

tried a new schedule based on this book and it’s been amazing:

1. Appreciate need for deep work
2. Block 3 hours a day for deep work: 9-10:30am and 2-3:30pm. Other times can be used for 1:1s, etc.

Obviously there are exceptions but trying to stick to it. It’s been great...
2/ deepwork = more focus -> better decisions, better feedback + less overall meetings since there's less rework... however,
3/ the main challenge with this approach is getting others to adapt since calendaring is a multi-player game...

blocking full days ("No meeting thursdays") doesn't work since you usually don't need 8 hrs. of focus - you need 8 1-hr blocks with feedback in between, and...

Different work happens in different time horizons - long-term thinking can't happen in short-bursts.

I've been thinking of these as mental time zones 1/
Different mental time zones lend themselves to different types of thought -- the main determinant of a mental time zone is communication.

Communication synchronizes time zones. Communication speed determines time. 2/
Can't stop thinking of this since reading Anathem by Neal Stephenson amazon.com/dp/B0015DPXKI/… 3/

I am taking advantage of a not so cold day (not so warm either) and getting some patio time in before preparing our usual Sunday roast dinner 🇬🇧. I see there have been some more policy details announced here and there. Time to take a closer look /thread #abvotes
In particular, a few items in @Dave_Khan @AlbertaLiberals platform were given some detail in the last week. This platform has not garnered the media attention it actually deserves. While I imagine that is due to low polling #, my BC experience taught me to watch smaller parties
I already reacted positively to two items that were released: the personal income tax proposal and the Extended Producer Responsibility legislation commitments. The former raises the amount of income an individual can earn without incurring taxes to $57250 and introduces an HST

Some Nine World's stuff worthy of a read.
One of the reasons why the 9W stuff is interesting to me is partly due to how it all turned out, what they achieved and the hardships they faced and also partly because I could see Kitacon going the same route and facing the same challenges.
Obviously I'm keen to avoid the pitfalls others have made in order to maintain a strong event and team but I can't help be worried about the geek/nerd communities being swallowed up by non caring events worried only about their bottom line.

At @OSULawDEPC for the @DrugPolicyOrg @acluohio conference From Punishment to Public Health. I am going to tweet a lot about drug policy in the next two days. I know many people want to focus right now on the critical moment the nation is going through, feel free to mute me.
First speaker, opening keynote, is @SamuelKRoberts: “the War on Drugs has been fairly effective at what it was designed to do, which is to rationalize increasing inequality in health, education, labor, and opportunity in the post-1973 American economy.”
"This [the War on Drugs] was never about the drugs." @SamuelKRoberts drives home the point that the War on Drugs was backlash to the civil rights movement, anti-War movement, and an assault on poor people and people of color.

1. I've had a chance to read the new @StopWatchUK report by @PatrickWillia17 on the MPS #gangsmatrix. Some early reflections here, hope to write something more considered in due course.

Key Q for me: if the matrix was scrapped tomorrow, what would actually change?

[Thread]
2. I'll start by saying I think it is appropriate for police and other agencies to have a particular focus on gang/group violence, as long as it is only one lens through which violence is understood and addressed.
3. Key point for me: the significance of gang/group dynamics as risk mulitipliers, eg collective responsibility and revenge. Maybe the ‘gang’ label detracts from what are broader phenomena (especially in respect of 'associates')? #gangsmatrix

Countering the Terrorist Threat Through Partnerships, Intelligence, and Innovation

I thought I’d talk a little this morning about how the FBI has transformed as an agency since 9/11. I’d also like to discuss the terrorism threat, as the FBI sees it, and my view going forward.
My view of how the Bureau has transformed since 9/11 is shaped in a very personal way by my previous experience in government, when I was at the Department of Justice.

💬 Do you think #threads can help make Twitter healthier?
Yesterday, @jack answered our question on Periscope 👇
#health #twitter
« I do think the more space we give people to think and be critical about what they see and express more critical thinking the more civil and civic these dialogs and debates become and the more we can really dive into the heart of the issue and move forward. »
« 280 and Threads have certainly allowed more depth in the conversations and a lot more critical thinking. One of the things we would like to see and enable on our platform is exactly that. »
