Twitter fails to deal with far-right abuse, anti-hate crime group tells MPs

Tell MAMA accuses social networking site of ignoring calls to tackle online abuse against Muslims, Jews and LGBT people

The founder of a hate-crime monitoring group has told MPs that Twitter is failing to tackle far-right extremists in the wake of Jo Cox's murder.

Fiyaz Mughal, founder of Tell MAMA, which records anti-Muslim abuse, said the group's attempts to report far-right extremism, including voices that call for the eradication of Muslims, had been ignored by the social networking site.
