Stop Enabling Abusers: Make Twitter Block Site-Wide Functional


Stop Enabling Abusers: Make Twitter Block Site-Wide Functional
The Issue
#GunBullies routinely, everyday threaten physical and sexual violence, disrespect boundaries, harass and stalk peaceful users of Twitter and the block feature does not block anywhere except Interactions feed and direct messaging.
This is wrong. Not only is it wrong, it is dangerous and could result in serious harm.
Reporting tweets rarely does anything, adds great time delay and leaves victims vulnerable with no recourse other than to not use Twitter.
Peaceful and loyal users of Twitter should have the option of a one click block that is effective site-wide as they do on other social sites.
Block should be fully bi-directional so that abusers cannot see you and you cannot see them throughout the entire Twitter site, period.
And while you're at it, appoint some women to your Board of Directors...
Geez its almost 2014!
