We welcome the @EU_Commission Guidance on Code of Practice on Disinformation, and support an approach that takes a wider look at the information ecosystem to address challenges of disinformation. People should have choices about the algorithms that affect their experience online.

That is why, since 2018, we have made it possible for people using Twitter to switch to a reverse chronological order ranking of Tweets, giving them more control and providing greater transparency into how our algorithms affect what they see.

Earlier this year, we introduced our Responsible Machine Learning initiative and shared more about the work we’re doing to improve machine learning algorithms at Twitter, and to ensure we uphold a high standard when it comes to transparency and fairness.

Making sure that reliable, authoritative information is easily accessible on Twitter has been a priority long before we were in the midst of a global pandemic.

There is no benefit — commercial or otherwise — in not taking action on Tweets that violate our rules.

As a signatory to the EU Code of Practice on Disinformation, we believe that regionally consistent co-regulatory standards are a crucial element in protecting the Open Internet, ensuring platforms of all sizes can operate with confidence around agreed norms.

We look forward to continuing to work with the @EU_Commission, civil society, and the public, to offer meaningful transparency and choice, and to tackle the ever changing landscape of #disinformation.
