While I welcome the thought to take out ISIS, one has to wonder if this can extend beyond them, to those Twitter decides it just doesn’t like.
Via NY Post:
Twitter has clarified its definition of abusive behavior that will prompt it to delete accounts, banning “hateful conduct” that promotes violence against specific groups.
The social media company disclosed the changes on Tuesday in a blog post, following rising criticism it was not doing enough to thwart the Islamic State’s use of the site for propaganda and recruitment.
“As always, we embrace and encourage diverse opinions and beliefs, but we will continue to take action on accounts that cross the line into abuse,” Megan Cristina, director of trust and safety, said in the blog.
The new rules do not mention the Islamic State or any other group by name.
