Mark Scott, New York Times; Twitter Fails E.U. Standard on Removing Hate Speech Online
"Twitter has failed to meet European standards for removing hate speech online, figures to be published Thursday show, as pressure mounts, particularly on the Continent, for tech companies to do more to tackle such harmful material.
