SAN FRANCISCO - Twitter has suspended 125,000 accounts connected to the Islamic State over the past six months, the company said Friday. It was the first time Twitter shared specifics on the number of accounts it has deleted. Twitter has been heavily criticized for not more effectively policing the presence of the extremist group. The social media service does not permit tweets that promote terrorism or make violent threats, but relies on users to alert the company about violations to its policies. Pressure increased on Twitter last month when it was sued by the widow of an American killed in an attack on a Jordanian police training center who says the social media service makes it too easy for the Islamic State to spread its message. _______________________________________________ Medianews mailing list [email protected] http://etskywarn.net/mailman/listinfo/medianews_etskywarn.net
