Twitter has made a formal announcement of a policy
encouraging users to report accounts that promote terrorism, according to media
reports Friday, such as here on “The Hill”, link , actual policy here
Earlier this year, Twitter had admitted that it had a
problem with abusive accounts, and alarmed some observers (like Electronic
Frontier Foundation) that it would summarily close such accounts.
But in the past, some have accused Twitter from
benefiting from terrorism, such as here in the free “conservative” paper “The
Examiner”, back in 2013
Authorities have been alarmed about foreign sources
using unmonitored social media to
encourage random unstable people (“lone wolves”) to commit vengeful attacks
based on “religion”. (I won’t
editorialize this further right here.)
The problem is probably more “serious” in western Europe than in the
U.S.
