Our mission is to serve the public conversation and we’re committed to connecting people with credible and authoritative information especially during times of crisis.

Today, we’re launching our #ThereIsHelp search prompt for disaster preparedness in 🇮🇩🇲🇾
blog.twitter.com/en_sea/topics/…
We are partnering with @petabencana, @BNPB_Indonesia, @MERCYMalaysia, and @mynadma to surface real-time and credible information during natural disasters in Indonesia and Malaysia.
When people in these countries search for keywords related to natural disasters, such as “earthquake”, the top search result will now include a local language notification recommending @petabencana, @BNPB_Indonesia, @MERCYMalaysia, and @mynadma, for reliable updates and support.

We are today sharing an update on our approach in Turkey.

We were in negotiation with the Turkish Government throughout last week, who made clear to us Twitter was the only social media service not complying in full with existing court orders.

We received what we believed to be… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

🧵Twitter is deeply committed to the people of India. Our service has proven vital for the public conversation and a source of support for people during the pandemic. blog.twitter.com/en_in/topics/c…

To keep our service available, we will strive to comply with applicable law in India.
But, just as we do around the world, we will continue to be strictly guided by principles of transparency, a commitment to empowering every voice on the service, and protecting freedom of expression and privacy under the rule of law.
Right now, we are concerned by recent events regarding our employees in India and the potential threat to freedom of expression for the people we serve.

🧵Today we are expanding our #ThereIsHelp notification service for people in need of legal advice relating to Freedom of Expression in 🇹🇭, as we learnt many of them are not fully aware of their legal rights or how to seek help from existing resources:
According to @TLHR2014, more than 635 people (incl. 40 under 18 years old) have been charged for political involvement and expression since the Thai youth rallies on in 2020; some were without legal representation at the time of arrest.
We strongly believe that people are entitled to freely express their political opinions. Our service relies on a free and #OpenInternet which in turn enables greater participation in civic events, such as the #MilkTeaAlliance, peaceful demonstrations and elections.

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.
