According to these sources, the May 2015 #AskPOTUS town hall came out of Twitter senior leadership's frustration with the fact that platforms like Reddit had become home to celebrity Q&As.
According to a former senior Twitter employee, Costolo ordered employees to deploy an algorithm (which was built in-house by feeding it thousands of examples of abuse and harassing tweets) that would filter out abusive language directed at Obama. Another source said the media partnerships team also manually censored tweets, noting that Twitter’s public quality-filtering algorithms were inconsistent. Two sources told BuzzFeed News that this decision was kept from senior company employees for fear they would object to the decision.
In its early years, Twitter took numerous public stands against censorship, even fighting a secret government order to provide user information for WikiLeaks. In 2011, Twitter senior executives published a blog post titled “The Tweets Must Flow.”
“There are Tweets that we do remove, such as illegal Tweets and spam,” the post read. “However, we make efforts to keep these exceptions narrow so they may serve to prove a broader and more important rule — we strive not to remove Tweets on the basis of their content.” Not long after the post, Twitter executives began publicly touting that “Twitter is the free speech wing of the free speech party.”
“This was another example of trying to woo celebs and show that you can have civilized conversations without the hate even if you’re a high-profile person,” the source said. “But it’s another example of a double standard — we’ll protect our celebrities, while the average user is out there subject to all kinds of horrible things.”
A month after the Obama Q&A, Costolo stepped down as CEO, retaining a seat on Twitter’s board. In an exit interview with The Guardian on his last day, he defended Twitter’s commitment to free speech. “I will say directly that I think regulation is a threat to free speech,” he said.
Costolo did not respond to requests for comment.

This is part 4 of our series on Ansible Tower Integration in Red Hat CloudForms.
In the previous article, we have seen how Ansible Job Templates can be launched from a VM button in CloudForms. In this article, we explore how Ansible Job Templates can be published as Catalog Items and made available for end user consumption from a CloudForms Service Catalog.
In this example, we use ec2_elb_lb, an Ansible core module, to demonstrate how we can easily extend the capabilities of CloudForms by re-using automation already provided by Ansible. In particular, we provide the ability to create an Amazon Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) from CloudForms Service Catalog without having to write any Ruby code.
A simple Ansible Playbook for this example can be found on GitHub and imported into Ansible Tower. A ‘Create AWS ELB’ Job Template is created with this playbook, allowing the end user to specify input values for the name of the ELB and a list of instances to associate to the new load balancer (as an extra variable called elb_name and instance_ids on the Job Template).
In CloudForms, we can auto-generate a dialog following the steps from our previous article from ‘Configuration > Configuration Management > Ansible Tower Job Templates > Create AWS ELB’ and selecting ‘Create Service Dialog from this Job Template’ from the ‘Configuration’ button.
The generated Service Dialog can be edited. In our case, we can remove the limit field (as this Ansible Job does not require to run on a particular host) and remove the ‘read-only’ option from the other fields.
Next, we create a Service Item by navigating to ‘Services > Catalogs > Catalog Items’ and selecting ‘Add a new Catalog Item’ from the ‘Configuration’ button. You will notice in CloudForms 4.1 that new Catalog Item Types are introduced. We select ‘AnsibleTower’ in our example, which causes CloudForms to present us with a dialog prompting for Ansible Tower related details.
We populate the name and description, and select a Catalog (previously created) where we want our new Service Item to be displayed. For the Dialog field, we select the Service Dialog we just created. The Provider and Ansible Tower Job Template fields are specific to the AnsibleType catalog item type and specify which Ansible Tower provider to reach out to as well as which Ansible Job Template to launch when the Catalog Item is ordered. In our example, we select our Ansible Tower provider from the drop down list and our ‘Create AWS ELB’ from the Job Template drop down (automatically populated with all available job templates). The Provisioning Entry Point State Machine can remain as default.
Once saved, we can change the icon for the Service Item and make it available to our end users. In this example, we have created a specific group and role and configured service visibility by tag. Our Service Item is available in CloudForms Self-Service portal.
The user can order the service by specifying input values, adding it to the shopping cart and checking it out.
Upon ordering, CloudForms launches the Job Template via Ansible Tower passing the dialog values and receives a notification from Ansible Tower once complete. A new Amazon Elastic Load Balancer is deployed.
In this article, we looked at how to publish an Ansible Tower Job Template in a CloudForms Service Catalog. We successfully ordered this service from CloudForms Self-Service portal. In the following article, we will go further and explore how to use Ansible Service Items as part of a CloudForms Service Bundle and automatically launch Job Templates on newly provisioned VMs.
