The only way I can make sense of Twitter's awful record on harassment is that beefing up enforcement is $$$ enough to affect quarterlies
-
-
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?

I suspect that the way communication and feeds work on Twitter makes enforcement more difficult/expensive, policy aside
-
I think that's possible and also that internally their moderation tools are lacking
-
which, like, is a fixable problem
-
Yeah, at this point we have enough evidence (like how they fail to act on deleted tweets) to support tools issues for sure
-
I'm confident some scripts using available APIs, and simple algos could clear out most the abusers and spam bots, NP.
-
I'm also confident by doing so it would cut the # of active accounts considerably, which is prob why they don't.

FB has a lot of harassment, we just don't see it BC it's a designed walled garden, twitter is so *open* so we can see/share it

public-by-default seems like it's a harder enforcement problem than limited networks like Facebook.
