Now an Internet startup turned media institution is destined to die because of maximizing shareholder value over longterm growth

Although possibly no one at the top at Twitter *actually* has a 5 or 10 year vision because lmao do any of us, for Twitter?
-
I wonder if the apparently prohibitive cost of enforcement means there's more harassment on Twitter than other services
-
Or if Twitter's particular policy approach is more expensive?
-
Or if services are only viable if they make enough money to afford enforcement. So Facebook+Insta are viable, Twitter is not.

Instagram's big celeb harassment story this week was that they started removing snake emojis from Taylor's page

-
Twitter's is that Leslie Jones left after a terrifying campaign that included some dude sending her a pic of her face with semen on it
-
I feel like that juxtaposition encapsulates the general character of these services
-
Facebook/Instagram: "huh maybe that kind of filtering goes a little too far" Twitter: "what the fuck are you doing what the fuck are you doi

One more thing, people keep saying Twitter leaves harassment alone because they need engagement + user numbers
-
So why did they start aggressively taking down novelty accounts, joke copiers, and so forth?

It's sad that they think keeping toxic people around is more profitable than having users who have more than hate to spew.

My suspicion has always been that they fear/know that widely available blocking tools mean wide adoption of blocking advertisers

If they banned all the harassers/trolls/bots, I'm willing to bet it would be a noticeable dent in user numbers.

maybe twitter does nothing about harassment because they don't think it'll have any significant consequences for them :/

I think it's simpler than that -- harassment is engagement, which is all they want. More tweets, more engagement, more ads.

@xeni or maybe just ignoring & blocking if harassed and then move on? -
Oh if only it were actually that simple.
