Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey just responded to today’s #WomenBoycottTwitter “in protest of women being silenced.”
His solution to women being silenced? Twitter will help silence more accounts:
1/ We see voices being silenced on Twitter every day. We’ve been working to counteract this for the past 2 years.

2/ We prioritized this in 2016. We updated our policies and increased the size of our teams. It wasn’t enough.
— jack ??? (@jack) October 14, 2017
3/ In 2017 we made it our top priority and made a lot of progress.
— jack ??? (@jack) October 14, 2017
4/ Today we saw voices silencing themselves and voices speaking out because we’re *still* not doing enough.
— jack ??? (@jack) October 14, 2017
5/ We’ve been working intensely over the past few months and focused today on making some critical decisions.
— jack ??? (@jack) October 14, 2017
6/ We decided to take a more aggressive stance in our rules and how we enforce them.
— jack ??? (@jack) October 14, 2017
7/ New rules around: unwanted sexual advances, non-consensual nudity, hate symbols, violent groups, and tweets that glorifies violence.

8/ These changes will start rolling out in the next few weeks. More to share next week.
