Twitter's transparency report that covers data from May 26 to June 25 this year includes harassment, defamation, terrorism and impersonation among others.
Social media giant Twitter, locked in a bitter battle with the government over the new digital rules, released its inaugural "transparency report" today - more than a month after the new digital rules came into effect. The report contains monthly data of how the microblogging site handled user complaints, including action taken, as well as the number of web links or URLs action was taken against. "Going forward, we will be publishing this report on a monthly basis, and we are committed to making improvements over time, based on feedback received from the government, or in accordance with internal changes that allow for us to provide more granular data," the company said in the report. The transparency report that covers data from May 26 to June 25 this year includes harassment, defamation, terrorism and impersonation among others. The report said 37 complaints were registered, of which 20 were on defamation. The US-based company said it has acted against 132 tweets related to these complaints and flagged over 22,000.More Related News
