There’s been confusion around the recent suspension of Roger Stone’s account because we weren't clear enough. So we wanted to explain what happened, and our decision.
Roger Stone’s account was permanently suspended for violating our Abusive Behavior policy multiple times this year. support.twitter.com/articles/18311
His Tweets targeted individuals with harassment, indirect violent threats, and encouraged others to harass these individuals.
For more clarity moving forward, we’ll be publishing an article about how we approach all of our enforcement decisions.

Today, we permanently suspended @realalexjones and @infowars from Twitter and Periscope. We took this action based on new reports of Tweets and videos posted yesterday that violate our abusive behavior policy, in addition to the accounts’ past violations. help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-p…
As we continue to increase transparency around our rules and enforcement actions, we wanted to be open about this action given the broad interest in this case. We do not typically comment on enforcement actions we take against individual accounts, for their privacy.
We will continue to evaluate reports we receive regarding other accounts potentially associated with @realalexjones or @infowars and will take action if content that violates our rules is reported or if other accounts are utilized in an attempt to circumvent their ban.

Working with our industry peers today, we have suspended 284 accounts from Twitter for engaging in coordinated manipulation. Based on our existing analysis, it appears many of these accounts originated from Iran.
As with prior investigations, we are committed to engaging with other companies and relevant law enforcement entities. Our goal is to assist investigations into these activities and where possible, we will provide the public with transparency and context on our efforts.
Since our initial suspensions last Tuesday, we have continued our investigation, further building our understanding of these networks. In addition, we suspended an additional 486 accounts for violating the policies outlined last week. This brings the total suspended to 770.

Today we are introducing new behavior-based signals into how Tweets are organized and presented in areas like conversations and search.

This is to improve the health of the conversation and improve everyone’s Twitter experience.
We’re tackling issues of behaviors that detract from the public conversation on Twitter. This technology focuses on behavior, not content.

You can see the full conversation by tapping Show more replies or choose to see everything in your search settings.
Through experimentation with this system, we’ve seen less abuse reports. We will continually evaluate to ensure this method is performing and we welcome your feedback.

Read more about behavior-based signals in our blog post:

*THREAD* for the first time in ~10 months I read my sister’s story, in her words, of what happened in Las Vegas 10/1/17. I still can’t read it without breaking down but this election is too important to not share her experience. @shannonrwatts @MomsDemand @Everytown 1/
@Jason_Aldean they were so thrilled to see you that night. 2/
Like everyone there, they didn’t know if they’d live or die. 3/

Just got DEXA scan results back.

Here is my body-fat % percentile standardized from NHANES.

4th percentile at 16.9% BF. I'd be about 10th percentile if I was 20. Crazy. Bit surprising: high BF% yet low percentile.

I'm so fat on the Internet... yet not in real life...😁 #confusion

Here's my BMI.

OK, not only fat on the Internet, but also almost overweight in real life. (But very lean compared to NHANES.) 😆

Every single time there's a horrifying story about a Border Patrol agent, I feel it: about midline, just below my xiphoid process, I feel a fullness; literal pain.

Always, half of me hopes it's him—the man who raped me. He grew up to be a Marine. A cop. A US Border Patrol agent.
If it's him, the first half thinks, maybe whomever else he's hurt will have justice. Maybe it'll finally end.

It'll never end.

Every time a story like this breaks, the other half of me hopes I was wrong. I'm not.

My story wasn't enough. I came forward too late.

Just me.

One.
When I came forward, I was treated with respect—and belief. Validation.

It still wasn't enough to heal me. And now there's a scar—about midline, just below my xiphoid process.

This Border Patrol agent is not my rapist. He's theirs. They're dead.

How many will it take?

Facts and risk assessment. Many Americans feel they need to be armed and loaded at all times for self defense. As a doctor for 21 years in busy level 1 trauma centers, I have seen almost exclusively targeted shootings—domestic violence, drugs, accidental . Random is rare.
Personal risk is not based on reality. U.S. Bureau of Justice noted "between 2003 and 2007, 2.1 million household burglaries were reported to the FBI each year on average. Household burglaries ending in homicide made up 0.004% of all burglaries.”

bjs.gov/content/pub/pd…
That is 84 deaths total in a population of 325 million. Each death is a tragedy, but where are people getting the idea that this is a common, every day occurrence that requires time, energy, and money to be armed at all time? FACTS MATTER. #ENOUGH

On 2/26/18, @mayflower_gal & I approached our school administration with a proposal, calling for our school to participate in a walkout; asking students to stand up and help speak out against gun violence. We were not alone; 6 other students also made a plan to walkout.
Admin met with all of us. Our original plans, while in need of further work, accounted for the variety of perspectives and opinions existing in our community while still emphasizing the point of the national movement #Enough.
During a series of meetings with admin, however, the students who were the most passionate were pushed to the side while the representatives of student council took control and twisted the original intent of our plan.

The pharmaceutical manufacturing industry has a lot of influence in Washington. At the same time, prices for four of the nation's top 10 drugs have increased more than 100 percent. #enough
Enough. 92% of Americans support allowing the federal government to negotiate prescription drug prices for seniors on Medicare Part D. We need to act on my bill (33 cosponsors so far!) to make it happen.
Enough. 72% of Americans support the purchase of prescription drugs – with the same dosages & safety standards – imported from Canada. It’s time for Congress to act on my bill with @SenJohnMcCain to allow safe, affordable prescription drugs from Canada.
