Twitter has updated
its abusive behaviour policy:
Abusive Behavior
We believe in freedom of expression
and in speaking truth to power, but that means little as an underlying
philosophy if voices are silenced because people are afraid to speak up. In
order to ensure that people feel safe expressing diverse opinions and beliefs,
we do not tolerate behavior that crosses the line into abuse, including
behavior that harasses, intimidates, or uses fear to silence another user’s
voice.
Any accounts and related accounts
engaging in the activities specified below may be temporarily locked and/or
subject to permanent suspension.
* Violent threats
(direct or indirect): You may not make threats of violence
or promote violence, including threatening or promoting terrorism.
* Harassment:
You may not incite or engage in the targeted abuse or harassment of others.
Some of the factors that we may consider when evaluating abusive behavior
include:
o
if a primary purpose of the reported
account is to harass or send abusive messages to others;
o
if the reported behavior is one-sided
or includes threats;
o
if the reported account is inciting
others to harass another account; and
o
if the reported account is sending
harassing messages to an account from multiple accounts.
* Hateful conduct:
You may not promote violence against or directly attack or threaten other
people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation,
gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or disease. We
also do not allow accounts whose primary purpose is inciting harm towards
others on the basis of these categories.
*Multiple account abuse:
Creating multiple accounts with overlapping uses or in order to evade the
temporary or permanent suspension of a separate account is not allowed.
* Private information:
You may not publish or post other people's private and confidential
information, such as credit card numbers, street address, or Social
Security/National Identity numbers, without their express authorization and
permission. In addition, you may not post intimate photos or videos that were
taken or distributed without the subject's consent. Read more about our private
information policy here.
* Impersonation:
You may not impersonate others through the Twitter service in a manner that is
intended to or does mislead, confuse, or deceive others. Read more about our
impersonation policy here.
