Although the company does not specifically mention the word "suicide" in its statement, the expression kill yourself in the United States has become increasingly popular, and although in some cases it can be used in an ironic way and not with the intention of committing self-harm. , Twitter seems to want to eradicate its use.
As I recall Gizmodo there have been some important cases that have generated controversy by the use of this phrase, and that go from football players who suffer bullying and end up using the controversial phrase against those who provoke them, even famous psychologists or queens draq queen , as in the case of Tyra Sánchez, winner of RuPaul Drag Race and who joined the famous list of those who received a boycott for encouraging one of her followers to commit suicide - although later it was explained that it was an ironic tone.
Twitter has been known as the social network that did little or nothing against the abuse of its users to other users, which ended up causing many affected to abandon their accounts. Last year the company decided to initiate a change in its rules of coexistence, and began to enable more tools so that users could report to profiles that harassed them.
Among the most famous chapters of the implementation of the new rules of Twitter is the elimination of the title of verified accounts to those that are offensive, such as that of white supremacists.
