CLBR #305: Does Twitter Violate Human Rights with Amnesty Internationals Azmina Dhrodia
b'Amnesty International\'s latest report\\xa0discusses\\xa0what a lot of\\xa0Twitter\'sfemale users already know: the social network is toxic for women. The non-government organization says the platform fails to respect women\'s rights by not "investigating and responding to reports of violence and abuse in a transparent manner." By being inconsistent in the enforcement of policies and by failing to clarify what is and isn\'t acceptable on the platform, it\'s fostering a hostile environment. That forces women to self-censor and even to stay silent due to fear of receiving abusive messages, including rape and death threats. According to Amnesty, that makes the problem a human rights issue.\\xa0
