Ive more or less kept up the practice of two hours a day, if you can just get 10 minutes, and sometimes thats all I can find, thats what I do.

During the day, I feel so much more focused. ... You have this very focused point of mind in terms of this drive.

We do not look at content with regards to political ideology. We look at behavior, i haven't done enough at articulating my personal objectives with this company. That's on me.

Marc and I talked on the phone. Also talked with Mayor London this afternoon. We're all talking now and aligned to fix this issue as fast as we can. Will keep everyone updated.

I always felt safe to challenge both of Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, especially my dad, and so it was definitely a privilege, but if we’re creating a culture that does n’t enable people or empower people to speak up or not, we’re gon na be able to do that for our service.

Twitter does not use political ideology to make any decisions, whether related to ranking content on our service or how we enforce our rules. We believe strongly in being impartial, and we strive to enforce our rules impartially.

I think it’s more and more important to at least clarify what our own bias leans towards, and just express it … I ’d rather know what someone biases to rather than try to interpret through their actions.

[I] do understand the concern, we have folks that are at various points in the political spectrum and they don’t feel comfortable today bringing up certain issues or their viewpoints on certain issues. And I don’t believe that is acceptable.

The most important thing that we can do is we look at the incentives that we’re building into our product, because they do express a point of view of what we want people to do—and I don’t think they are correct anymore.

We often turn to policy to fix a lot of these issues, but I think that is only treating surface-level symptoms that we are seeing.

The net of this is we need to do a much better job at explaining how our algorithms work. Ideally opening them up so that people can actually see how they work, we just need to make sure that we’re pushing ourselves to explain exactly how these things work. How we’re making decisions. Where we need to make decisions as humans versus where the algorithms make decisions based on behaviors and signals.

We want to take the burden of the work off the people receiving the abuse or the harassment.

We have a structure that allows me to see what's happening in the week( at Twitter Inc and Square), we set off the week together at both companies and we have checkpoints and then the balance of my time is really spent on recruiting.

People around the globe know of Twitter, but it's not clear why they should use Twitter, this is unacceptable and we're not happy about it.

The cash register was invented to solve the basic pain points of running a business, like recording sales, our Register empowers sellers to drill into their business with sophisticated reporting tools to run and grow their business.
