Flashback: Jack Dorsey Tells CNN’s Stelter that Twitter Doesn’t Shadow Ban Conservatives

‘The real question behind the question is are we doing something according to political ideology or viewpoints and we are not, period’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

DORSEY: “So, I think a lot of the statements behind the statement or the question behind the question is, look, shadow banning is a very widely defined term. There is not one single definition. So, the definition that we found that seems to resonate with the most people is, you know, not amplifying particular messages or, if someone puts out a tweet, hiding that tweet from everyone without that person who tweeted it knowing about it. So — but the real question behind the question is, are we doing something according to political ideology or viewpoints? And we are not, period. We do not look at content with regard to political viewpoint or ideology. We look at behavior and we use that behavior as a signal to add to relevance. We need to constantly show that we are not adding our own bias, which I fully admit is more left leaning, and I think it’s important to articulate our bias and to share It with people so that people understand us, but we need to remove all bias from how we act and our policies and our enforcement.”
