Twitter’s Transparency Report Highlights Violations Caught By Its Systems

More than one-half of tweets removed for abuse were surfaced by its proprietary AI

Twitter said more than one-half of tweets it took action on for abuse during the first half of 2019 were surfaced using its proprietary artificial intelligence technology, lessening its reliance on users reporting those offenses, adding that just 20% of those tweets were caught by its systems during the same period last year.

There was also a 105% leap in accounts locked or suspended for violating the Twitter rules compared with the first half of 2018, which Twitter attributed to a combination of its focus on proactively surfacing potentially violative content for human review and its inclusion of impersonation data.
