Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has said that he 'fully admits' his employees are 'more left-leaning' after the company was accused of discriminating against conservatives on the social media platform.

In a CNN interview, Dorsey asserted that despite the employees' personal views the company is not discriminating against any political viewpoint.

'We need to constantly show that we are not adding our own bias, which I fully admit is ... is more left-leaning,' Dorsey told Brian Stelter. 'But the real question behind the question is, are we doing something according to political ideology or viewpoints? And we are not. Period.'

He went on, 'We need to remove all bias from how we act and our policies and our enforcement and our tools.

His comments come following criticism from conservatives, including President Trump, that Twitter is 'shadow-banning' right-wing users to stifle their voices on the platform .

Shadow banning is the act of blocking a user or their content from an online community without being apparent to the user.

Last month, President Trump tweeted: 'Twitter 'SHADOW BANNING' prominent Republicans. Not good. We will look into this discriminatory and illegal practice at once! Many complaints.'

The president's outrage came after a published report found conservatives' exposure on Twitter is artificially limited.

The sites automatic fill-in engine does not suggest some right-wingers' accounts when the first few letter of their names are typed - an issue that mostly affects conservatives.

In Friday's interview, which aired in full Sunday morning, Dorsey said: 'We do not look at content with regards to political viewpoint or ideology. We look at behavior.'

For example, the platform banned InfoWars' host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' account this week after receiving complaints that his content was inciting violence.

'We were getting a number of reports around the tweet and the Periscope that the content was inciting violence, which is against our terms of service, and we took action,' Dorsey told The Hill.

Jones' Twitter account was suspended for one week - a move that the platform was late in the game for after other services had already removed the far-right hosts' content.

Earlier this month, YouTube, Facebook and Apple banned Jones' content.

Unsurprisingly, the actions incited the right to raise questions of political bias and freedom of speech.

Dorsey told Stelter he doesn't know if the ban will work to change Jones' offensive behavior but said: 'We have evidence that shows that temporary suspensions, temporary lockouts will change behavior. It will change peoples' approach. I'm not naïve enough to believe that it's going to change it for everyone, but it's worth a shot.'

Dorsey is expected to testify next month before the Senate Intelligence Committee on the issue of Russia's election interference.
