At Twitter, we consider it our responsibility to foster a healthy public conversation, inclusive and open to everyone in the world who wants to join.

The mission of the Health organization at Twitter is to maximize safety and minimize societal & individual harm for everyone. This aligns with our company's #1 priority: growing the collective health, openness, and civility of public conversation.

As part of the Health org, our team enables Twitter to launch new products at a lightening speed, with Health capabilities out of the box. A recent example being the Fleets launch on Twitter. We embody automation in every aspect of our processes, and enable velocity (not just speed) when launching Twitter products. 

We emphasize collaboration and building consensus with our partner product teams. We are responsible for onboarding Health across our existing and upcoming product lines. 

The Health Tools organization designs and delivers services and tools that enable Twitter to fairly and consistently monitor our platform for abuse and which also help us to meet our legal and compliance obligations world wide. Our goals are twofold. First, it is to ensure that our users feel safe to participate in the public conversation. Second it is to reduce the legal and compliance risk to twitter which operates in an increasing number of countries around the world.  The Legal & Compliance Core (LCC) team is aligned with the second goal and is responsible for building and operating tools and services that enable Twitter to manage, evaluate, and take action requests from law enforcement and government agencies worldwide, while staying true to our core values.
