(Digital Marketing Agency) –
Following the shocking and horrific death of American photojournalist, James
Foley, this Tuesday, famous online social media, Twitter, has announced all
accounts responsible for distributing his decapitated pictures extracted from
the killing video are all suspended.
"We have been and are
actively suspending accounts as we discover them related to this graphic
imagery. Thank you," tweeted Dick Costolo, Twitter’s CEO.
Costolo further said that this
action clashes with Twitter’s terms of service which prohibits violence and
threats.
The firm also take action
towards images and videos of passed-away individuals. Their images will be
removed per request of family members. This impact is established after a fake
photos of famous comedy and film star Robin Williams were tweeted to his
daughter following his death this month.
Twitter is known to have a
softer regulation in its terms of service towards violence compares to other
online companies. Hence, these activities show that the giant online media
begins to consider strengthen its policy.
