Twitter Safety, Algorithms + Congress

Twitter's CEO Jack Dorsey will speak to Congress on September 5, 2018 regarding algorithms and content monitoring. 

On a related note @TwitterSafety published/tweeted a good article about partners they selected to help measure and manage conversational health online, @OxExpPsy and @UniLeiden. From the article:
The project brings together scholars with different backgrounds and expertise, bridging political science, communication, and computer science. The six scholars working together across four universities will combine deep social scientific subject expertise with strong technical expertise to develop and adapt measures of healthy conversations on Twitter.
Plus here is a curious article detailing a Russian Twitter information campaign conducted under the hashtag #VaccinateUS that was meant to sow division on the subject. Observably though, it was an issue that failed to generate much heat. From a review of the tweets on @TwitterSafety, it looks like the platform is getting ever more practiced at protecting the social media community.
