Twitter hits pause on verification requests

A French court has ordered Twitter to provide clear details on what it is doing to tackle hate speech, according to a court judgment obtained by Reuters, after several French lobby groups had asked Twitter to clamp down more on hateful content.

The court ruling stated Twitter had to show within the next two months the steps it was taking to tackle hate speech.

Tech firms have been accused of doing far too little to address online abuse.

In May, Britain stated that the nation planned new law would see social media companies fined up to 10 percent of turnover or £18 million if they failed to stamp out online abuses such as racist hate crimes, while senior managers could also face criminal action.
