Yvette Cooper and Fawcett Society boss Sam Smethers write to firm for explanation of methodology and timescales for removing online abuse
Twitter is failing to take down graphic images of suspected rape and abuse that violate its own community standards, the chair of parliament's home affairs select committee has said.
The Labour MP Yvette Cooper, who founded the Reclaim the Internet campaign on online abuse, has written to Twitter asking it to explain its methodology and timescales for removing graphic pictures and sexually explicit messages.
