SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey is promising the company will do a better job weeding out sexual harassment, hateful symbols and violent groups from its short messaging service.
The pledge issued in a series of tweets late Friday followed a boycott organized by women supporting actress Rose McGowan after she said Twitter temporarily suspended her account for posting about the alleged misconduct of film producer Harvey Weinstein. The movie mogul was fired last Sunday by the company he co-founded amid accusations that he sexually harassed or sexually assaulted women.
Dorsey acknowledged Twitter hasn’t been doing enough to ensure voices aren’t silenced on the service despite policy changes made since 2016. He said the new rules will be announced next week, with the changes taking effect soon after.
1/ We see voices being silenced on Twitter every day. We’ve been working to counteract this for the past 2 years.

3/ In 2017 we made it our top priority and made a lot of progress.

5/ We’ve been working intensely over the past few months and focused today on making some critical decisions.

7/ New rules around: unwanted sexual advances, non-consensual nudity, hate symbols, violent groups, and tweets that glorifies violence.

8/ These changes will start rolling out in the next few weeks. More to share next week.

Twitter can take a great leap forward on its supposed promise of silencing harassers by suspending Dotard’s accounts. He violates its written policies on an almost daily basis.
What would STUPID do if his TWITTER account was canceled.
FAKE followers…LOL
