Twitter continues to fail women over online violence and abuse, Amnesty International has said. Amnesty International said Twitter had not produced meaningful data to even gauge the scale of the problem. In its follow up report, Amnesty International has excoriated Twitter stating that it had only implemented one of 10 recommendations that the organisation suggested to deal with online abuse. Amnesty International’s co-director of technology Rasha Abdul Rahim said Twitter has made some progress, but is not doing enough to protect women users “leading many women to silence or censor themselves on the platform”. She said Twitter needs to do more to clean up the platform and make it a safe place for women.
