On Saturday, CNN previewed a portion of Brian Stelter‘s interview with Jack Dorsey, and the Twitter CEO admitted that his social media platform has to do more in terms of maintaining trust with users and avoiding bias.

Much of the interview revolved around the allegations from conservatives that Twitter uses shadowbanning and other forms of censorship to suppress right-wingers. President Trump went on a tangent about this earlier in the day, so Dorsey defended himself while acknowledging the question of “are we doing something according to political ideology or viewpoints?”

“We are not. Period,” Dorsey said. “We do not look at content with regards to political viewpoint or ideology. We look at behavior, and we use that behavior as a signal to add to relevance.”

As the interview continued, Dorsey conceded that some people might not believe him because “I fully admit” to Twitter’s left-leaning bias. As such, he said Twitter has more work to do in terms of removing bias from their policy enforcement, and tech companies in general have to do better in terms of transparency.

“I’ll fully admit that I haven’t done enough of that. I haven’t done enough of articulating my own personal objectives with this service and my own personal objectives in the world, and I think people see a faceless corporation, they don’t assume that humans are in it, or that they’re genuine or authentic. They just assume based on what the output is, and that’s on us. That’s on me.”

The CNN interview is Dorsey’s latest in a series of press events, during which he was asked about the temporary suspension of Alex Jones and whether Trump has ever violated Twitter’s user policy.

The full interview with Stelter will air tomorrow on Reliable Sources.
