How some people treat others on the internet is amazing.
Obviously with “reviewers” abusing bloggers by punching down, then tweeting with the creator as she’s mocking the person she’s “annotating” the prospect of @newsgenius treating consumers with anything less than total disdain is nil.
“I allow some of my customers to be silenced, threatened, abused and run off @twitter.”
I’m not @Jack, but if @Jack were an honest man that is what he would tell the world.
You see, @Jack, just went on @TODAYshow with @Mlauer and lied to consumers.
As reported by USA Today,
“I can block people. I’ve never blocked anyone,” Dorsey said.
Picking from crowd-sourced questions on Twitter, Lauer had asked Dorsey about his company’s stance and activity on censorship, which led to a conversation on blocking.
“Does Twitter censor?” Lauer said.
“Absolutely not,” Dorsey said. “It’s our job to make sure they see the most important things.”
Twitter, how is ok with this open hatred and did not moderate this still active tweet in line with their newly announced policy against hateful conduct.
Is there an expiration date on hate?
Not when the tweet is still highly active, referenced and well known as an extreme example of hate not ok in society, but OK on Twitter.
In seeking to silence the legitimate news of his losing his position, Allan is now seeking to coordinate reports of tweets which speak about his abuse.
This is how people seek to silence dissent on Twitter.
Nance Larson, former Team Leader of Empire Avenue (now Empire Kred Staff) and other leaders of EmpireKred have been attempting to keep this massive record of abuse of their own customers “off the record” since 5/2014.
They have magnificently failed.
However, according to @twitter @support talk of getting rid of people does not violate their @safety @policy.
It’s clear to me that Twitter’s problems are their own creation.
An institutionalized culture of not listening to valid feedback, arrogance and lack of business ethics and common sense.
When I started blogging about the abuse at Empire Avenue, what I quickly noticed was the relative impunity with which leaders from Empire Avenue threatened and doxed me on Twitter.
Empire Avenue Team Leader Nance Larson and Leaders Chris Sandys, Gareth Davies were able to target me for doxing and massive harassment for blogging about abusive practices on Empire Avenue.
After a couple months of emails to support inquiring as to why with no real response I filed complaints with the San Francisco District Attorney’s office Consumers Protection Unit and The California Department of Justice (x-ref 615640).
During that time other much higher profile accounts such as @Femfreq and an Electronic arts gaming executive also talked about the massive abuse they were sustaining, death threats etc.
I was not alone in the abuse piled on me.
Twitter simply allowed customers to threaten other customers to the point that the mass market was made aware that Twitter didn’t care about their customers.
Imagine being a customer of an online gaming company that rather than deal with cyberbullying and abuse of their own customers, wanted that abuse “off the record.”
That’s how Empire Avenue operated.
And in fact still operates despite Kred purchasing Empire Avenue and renaming the gaming company Empire Kred.
And people like Keith Gill, aka Digitalkeith, also in leadership at EmpireKred continue to try to keep the reporting of the cyberbullying “off the record.”
Keith Gill, AKA @DigitalKeith had his account locked by Twitter for abuse on twitter.
Gareth Davies, AKA @me_gareth was suspended by twitter for violent threats and doxing.
Chris Sandys, AKA @usafa_93 was warned for non violent threats.
All of the suspensions were related to their ongoing attempts to keep abuse at Empire Avenue “off the record.”
It’s sad, but these people are deeply, deeply committed to both abusing their own customers, and trying to keep that abuse off the record.
Their ability to continue with the open abuse on Twitter, has led to a CA DoJ inquiry into Twitter’s handling of the matter (CA DOJ x-ref 615640) and the SF DA’s office twice opening files.
When times get tough, some companies return to basic tried and true fundamentals.
Some companies try for moonshots, according to The Motley Fool.
However the Motley Fool also notes “uninspiring fundamentals” as key to Twitter’s continuing slide in the marketplace.
I don’t think this will have a major impact on Twitter stock; investors are more concerned with the company’s uninspiring fundamentals. But any change that might help to boost user confidence, not to mention the service’s reputation, is welcome.
Worse yet, Twitter moderation allows the abuse, while censoring the truth about these abusive brands.
Instead of a “moonshot” Twitter should return to good old Midwestern customer service values, moderate fairly and to ethical standards, and not protect abusive brands like #digitalkeith from the truth about their own abuse.
Far from feeling safe, Twitter feels like a safe haven for cyberbullies to many of their customers.
And all the advertisers in the world can just try to sell to each other on Twitter, while people enjoy Instagram and the safe environment they provide.
Otherwise Twitter’s users will simply continue to be bullied right off of Twitter.
Towards the low end of the pool, where people buy fiverr tweets and spam lies the type of marketers that cause other people to distrust digital marketing people.
One such person should be well known to readers.
I noticed some questionable occurences that were a bit strange and “gamey” on a persons account.
For example:
I reached out to Klout support via email who confirmed they are aware that buying tweets or mentioning oneself is possible to game the system but would be cost ineffective.
I agree with that.
But it still happens despite what seems to be an economic loser.
