As Twitter announced sweeping action against tweets wishing for Trump's death, many users noted years of light enforcement of its “abusive behavior” policy
We hear the voices who feel that we're enforcing some policies inconsistently. We agree we must do better, and we are working together inside to do so.
No one should face threats of violence on any social media platform. Women, people of color, and LGBTQ individuals face harassment online & not enough is done to stop it. Platforms should enforce these policies the same across the board, no matter who is the target. https://twitt…
I'm still thinking about the language of this tweet and how it deflects responsibility for previous actions and potential change. The voices who “feel” Twitter enforces policies inconsistently. Feeling implies a lack of fault. We don't “feel” anything. We know. Because you ARE. h…
I really wish Twitter would treat the white supremacist threats and harassment against me and my colleagues with the same urgency. 🤷♀️ https://twitter.com/...
Glad you're listening, @Twitter, & committing to act, but it's not just a “feeling” about inconsistency, as the replies to your tweets show. I wish you'd acknowledge fault & apologize to every person who reported death threats & hate over the years without getting help. https://t…
My clients don't “feel” they're not helped when they report harassment, death and rape threats, @TwitterSafety. This is not a question of any of us being in our feelings, but of hard data: Platforms disproportionally allows misogynistic and racist abuse. @ConsentLawyers https://t…
Twitter on defensive after warning “tweets that wish or hope for death, serious bodily harm or fatal disease against *anyone* are not allowed."This surprised many who'd received death threats over the years ... https://twitter.com/...
If the powers that be at twitter actually considered abuse and harassment unacceptable they'd take meaningful steps to reduce it and ban bad actors. They haven't done that and still continue not to do that. These words are completely hollow https://twitter.com/...
It's not a feeling. We've got years of reports, seeing abusers, stalkers and harassers get off scott free after threatening others. https://twitter.com/...
I'm so sure you're being honest with us. I have told you guys that I have been stalked, doxxed, sexually harassed and have been threatened with violence for the last 11 months. You guys are not sorry. You need to ban stalkers, nazis and other hate groups from your platform https:…
Let me tell y'all how much I can personally attest that has not applied to Black folks, especially Black women, the most harassed group of people on this site. https://www.essence.com/... https://twitter.com/...
It feels like just yesterday that people were threatening to kill me or telling me to kill myself while I was competing at the Olympic Games... **feeling ~nostalgic~ 🥰🥰** https://twitter.com/...
@TwitterSafety There are literally THOUSANDS of people screaming and begging for safety and protection. A cacophony of solutions at your fingertips. Yet your implemented solutions don't match anything we've asked for. You're literally doing the least.
(CW suicide) Almost every time I've spoken about suicide or shared my story on this platform I've had DMs and comments telling me to kill myself, or that people wish I'd died, but when I report them they don't break your rules. But now captain fash is ill you do this? OK. https:/…
Me looking at the 5 years of death threats, rape threats, impersonators that I've collected all by myself since 2015. And I still consider my twitter experience fairly pleasant and manageable compared to many other women and queer people https://twitter.com/...
Weeks of death threats and serious threats against my family when I was Children's Laureate resulted in Twitter doing bugger all about it. *side-eyes in Black woman* https://twitter.com/...
you “found no violation of the Twitter rules” when a person told me they wanted to send my family to Auschwitz. those tweets stayed up. https://twitter.com/...
For ten years, women, LGBT people and people of colour have been threatened with death and serious harm on your platform. You've done next to nothing. Men abusing women. White people threatening Black people. The literal President stoking violence. That's just free speech, right?…
When I was sick from Covid, there were people who tweeted they wished I died from it. You didn't remove their tweets and nothing happened to their accounts. https://twitter.com/...
All my death threats from Trump supporters, including “You'll never stop us from killing you, we just found your address,” and worse, are still in my DMs if @twitter would like to re-examine them. It's a fine policy, but like so many other rules, it only applies to the President …
