o be in control on social networks. Dream or reality ware IT minutes Editorial May In the instant world of social media the hardearned reputations of brands and individuals can be destroyed in just minutes by a completely fictitious post or a sustained campaign of online harassment or as in the recent Jack Monroe Katie Hopkins case EWHC QB by mistake. Social media platforms are increasingly criticized for not taking adequate measures to protect their own sites specifically to prevent harassment and remove defamatory content.
It usually takes a notice from a law firm before the social media platform Country Email List will take the matter seriously and remove the offending content. In February Twitter announced a series of changes to try to reduce abuse on its platform. This includes permanently suspending accounts used by abusers and preventing illegality by prohibiting abusers from creating other accounts. In practice however it is unclear how Twitter will prevent abusers from creating a new account if they use a separate IP address. Moreover in addition to censoring abusers the changes will also have the effect of hiding the abuse from the eyes of other users.
Other changes to the note are Creating a safarch feature that allows a user to remove tweets containing potentially sensitive content and those from blocked or disabled accounts so that they are no chat threads so that they are visible only to those users who are actively searching for them Allowing users to report tweets that mention them even after theyve locked their account. It is important to note that offensive tweets will not be removed from the platform but rather that a user may optout of seeing that tweet along with similar tweets through their profile settings . This means that the offending material will still be visible to the general public and there will still be a risk of serious and irreparable reputational damage.
