The truth is that on Twitter we not only find interesting content, many times the microblogging platform is used to spread threats, promote hatred and break the law. Well, now Twitter has created a group of experts to fight against online bullying, a common problem on the social network that has not been resolved in any way satisfactory so far.
It is true that it has become common to bring to justice tweets that should be protected by freedom of expression, but what they want to resolve now is an issue less given to interpretations:Death threats are poured out on Twitter every day with impunity , and people are harassed for sensitive issues such as gender, religion or political preferences.
Twitter knows that it is extremely difficult to control all the content generated by its millions of users, and wants to limit online harassment without creating a censorship system that affects freedom of expression. So you've created the Twitter Trust & Safety Council to help you design tools to fix the problem.
They are part of the Twitter Trust & Safety Council More than 40 organizations from different parts of the world, including entities that defend the homosexual community, who fight against anti-Semitism, with a feminist orientation, against domestic violence… The aim is to have a broad advisory group that includes all kinds of people.

Twitter Trust & Safety Council against bullying
It is very interesting that Twitter creates a group of experts to fight against online bullying, as it will help you better deal with the problem. But the company already has systems in place to prevent abuse, and overall applies them laxly So it's unclear whether opening the Twitter Trust & Safety Council is going to to be of use, or is it just an advertising measure.
We cannot deny that controlling cases of harassment on Twitter is complicated, but the truth is that the company has not been very successful on this issueThe social network has indeed removed thousands of terrorist accounts in recent months, so it has shown that it is capable of acting when it is really interested.
The creation of the expert group to fight online bullying on Twitter is a positive step, but now we have to check what measures recommended to control abuse on the microblogging platform, which must be forceful, but avoiding that they can be used to censor other users.
What do you think of the Twitter Trust & Safety Council? Will it serve to reduce online bullying, or does it seem too complicated an objective?
