Why is Twitter promoting rape tweets?
- arepb 15y agoThat they don't have a blacklist of words for this is beyond me...
- oo7jeep 15y agoFrom a Twitter product manager...
- cobychapple 15y agoThis would be a PR nightmare for Twitter if it got out into mainstream media … and rightly so.
- oo7jeep 15y agoI dont want to start a nightmare - thats why I asked Sara first if it was an accident... but no response. Maybe I should dig for the initial tweet.
- cobychapple 15y agoI can't actually find the tweet in her stream anywhere (date in your screenshot is 15 March, looked around that date on both sides). Can you please post the permalink to the tweet here?
- oo7jeep 15y agoThe tweet has apparently been deleted but updated the post with contexutal responses...
- turbulence 15y agoCould be a faked screen shot to get himself more followers or some kind of hate campaign against @SM.
- jeffool 15y agoHer writing it comes across as "wow, I can't believe I just heard that", to me. She quotes it with no indication she was agreeing, but as something interesting, shocked someone would say that. (Probably because it is exactly NOT something people would generally say.) I understand if you think they should filter certain words from being promoted, there's a conversion to be had there, but how could you possibly think she was advocating rape in any way?

- oo7jeep 15y agoThe issue isnt just the tweet itself but the fact it was promoted.
