Job Description

BACKGROUND:

Twitter can be fun, noisy, informative and a place for rich dialogue. Twitter can also feel and be unhealthy. It’s too often that people are afraid to participate in conversations because they fear abuse and unhealthy interactions. Additionally, it is difficult for people to determine which accounts are trustworthy and what content is good. These challenges are the basis for why Health has been the top initiative for Twitter. When we add in the current national and global conversation, with the COVID pandemic, civil unrest spawning from George Floyd and the BLM protests, and the discourse around the upcoming US Elections, we know that making the Twitterverse healthier is not only a top initiative, but it is imperative.
