Hey Twitter, I have some news. (1/3)
While looking at #ExtinctionRebellion hashtag, I bumped into quite a few hateful far right accounts quoting an account called @ AmyMek.
Does that name rings a bell?

The only thing is, I couldn't read Amy's tweet.
Why?
Because what she posts is breaking the law in my country.
So she's not allowed on my timeline.
I cannot be exposed to her lawbreaking content.

Twitter is actually bound to respect the laws of the country it operates in -when officially notified said law have been broken.
Was any account stirring up hate -also illegal in the UK- withheld following a valid legal request?

Hear what I'm saying here: Twitter is not going to heal its platform (too many people, not necessarily the will to do so =less clickbait) -but our governments could. They can have illegal (not "content I do not like" -illegal) content withheld. No online impunity.
