  • Twitter to Improving the Collective Health, Openness and Civility of the Public Conversation, and to Hold Ourselves Publicly Accountable to That Mission
    We are committed at Twitter to improving the collective health, openness and civility of the public conversation, and to hold ourselves publicly accountable to that mission. Twitter’s conversational health will be built and measured by how we help encourage open democratic debate, healthy civic discourse, and critical thinking. ​ The fight against such things as spam, malicious automation activity and coordinated disinformation campaigns goes beyond any single election or event. We work every day to give everyone the power to create and share ideas and information instantly, without barriers. To preserve that experience, we are always working to ensure that we surface for our users the highest quality and most relevant content first. While Twitter’s open and ​ real-time environment is a powerful antidote to the abusive spreading of false information, we do not rely on user interaction alone. In light of the upcoming European Parliament elections and in line with our commitments to the European Commission Code of Practice on Disinformation, we are taking active steps to stop malicious accounts and Tweets from spreading at scale, which involves trying to stay ahead of the constantly evolving tactics of bad actors. To try to achieve this goal, we have made a number of changes, including enhanced safety policies, better tools and resources for detecting and stopping malicious activity, tighter advertising standards, and increased transparency to promote better public understanding of all of these areas. Scrutiny of ad placements Safety in advertising on Twitter In order to circumvent the possibility of ads and ad placement misleading users, we employ strict policies at Twitter around advertising, thereby ensuring quality and safety on the platform.

    National Weather Service Service Description Document (SDD) Experimental National Weather Service Use of Live Streaming Videos (Facebook and Periscope) Part 1 - Mission Connection 1.

    informatics Article A Snapshot of Bystander Attitudes about Mobile Live-Streaming Video in Public Settings Cori Faklaris 1,* , Francesco Cafaro 2,* , Asa Blevins 2, Matthew A. O’Haver 2 and Neha Singhal 2 1 Human-Computer Interaction Institute, School of Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA 15213, USA 2 Department of Human-Centered Computing, School of Informatics and Computing, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, IN 46202, USA; [email protected] (A.B.); [email protected] (M.A.O.); [email protected] (N.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected] (C.F.); [email protected] (F.C.) Received: 26 February 2020; Accepted: 25 March 2020; Published: 27 March 2020 Abstract: With the advent of mobile apps such as Periscope, Facebook Live, and now TikTok, live-streaming video has become a commonplace form of social computing. It has not been clear, however, to what extent the current ubiquity of smartphones is impacting this technology’s acceptance in everyday social situations, and how mobile contexts or affordances will affect and be affected by shifts in social norms and policy debates regarding privacy, surveillance, and intellectual property. This ethnographic-style research provides a snapshot of attitudes about the technology among a sample of US participants in two public contexts, both held outdoors in August 2016: A sports tailgating event and a meeting event. Interviews with n = 20 bystanders revealed that many are not fully aware of when their image or speech is being live-streamed in a casual context, and some want stronger notifications of and ability to consent to such broadcasting. We offer design recommendations to help bridge this socio-technical gap.
