Twitter is Still Bad At Controlling Abuse

Rose McGowan’s suspension from Twitter demonstrates just how dismal the platform is at managing abuse. McGowan was suspended following her commentary on the Harvey Weinstein allegations.

Especially when it’s common for women on the platform to report threats of rape, murder, and other personal violence only to be told by Twitter that this type of speech does not violate its community standards.
