Twitter can solve harassment right now with verified accounts
- dvhh 12y agoMaybe right now comes the time to discuss what we really want twitter to be: - either a dumb pipe for social update - or something more like facebook or google+ And I still think that trolling also include gawker abusing the Coca cola advertising bot ( along with the threats that prominent users gets )
- paulhauggis 12y ago"You’re basically firing off a cyber sleuthing mission: get us the IP addresses and we can subpoena the ISP to find out who is bullying you." Bullying is illegal now? and what constitutes bullying? I would consider the behavior of many open source project leaders "bullying", but I'm not going to call the police. I'm going to just stop contributing to the project. The ex-Mozilla CEO got bullied online until he was forced to quit. Would Twitter consider the CEO the bully because of his views on gay marriage or the people that tweeted non-stop until he quit? "bullying" seems to be the new way to censor opposing opinions. I'm fine with stopping more abuse, but forcing verified accounts makes it even more difficult for people to express opinions that are against the norm. It may even bring more bullying outside of twitter if you are forced to use your real name. "Now, verified twitter doesn’t only solve for trolling. It would also be a money-printing machine" So why do I want another company to have even more of my personal information?
