Similarly, the Twitter co-founder and boss told the Intel Committee that it's also thinking about labeling bot accounts that people interact with, after being pressed by Senator Warner (D-VA) about the amount of automated accounts on the service. "We can certainly label accounts that come through [our] API," Dorsey said, "where it becomes tricky is accounts trying to act like a human. As long as we can spot, we can label them -- it's an idea we've been considering." In a separate hearing, in front of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Dorsey said that Twitter is working on a transparency report on abuse, as well, which will be released later this year. He also committed to a civil rights audit.

This is all part of Twitter's efforts to become more transparent with its users, Dorsey told the committees, something he feels the company can do a better job of going forward.
