Reported

TERFragetteCity · 03/04/2018 19:13

Result - I'd already reported the account before this thread...

They haven't taken it down though.

CAAKE · 03/04/2018 19:48

I had the same report message as you Terf but the account and tweets are indeed still there 🤨

LassWiADelicateAir · 03/04/2018 20:03

It is still there - along with various anti-Semitic posts too.

AngryAttackKittens · 03/04/2018 20:06

Does anyone know which government agency specifically deals with people who attempt to perform FGM on British girls? That's who this needs to be reported to. If this person is in the UK they can presumably be followed up with by the police.

CircleSquareCircleSquare · 03/04/2018 20:09

They aren’t taking them down and the poster is just putting more of them up.
Is this a possible police matter?

LassWiADelicateAir · 03/04/2018 20:34

You dont need a Twitter account to report, but you do need to supply an email address

And they don't exactly make it easy. I couldn't get any links to the tweets to copy properly so just reported the person. I mentioned the anti-semitism also.

LassWiADelicateAir · 03/04/2018 20:36

Kubra Jawher has a Facebook page as well. I don't understand Facebook and don't have an account - do you have to log in to see the full site?

AnotherQuoll · 03/04/2018 21:16

I've reported it last night. Still agree there's something about it tho.
And, afaik, FGM is really more associated with being part of some of the older African cultures, than just one 700 year old religion.

Felt like an odd emphasis for someone who's meant to be a genuine proponent.

Infuriates me that accounts like this and the horrific @/brutalmaster are left standing, while feminists are deleted.

LassWiADelicateAir · 03/04/2018 22:06

It has just been updated 10 minutes ago to include TERFragetteCity's screenshot. I'm guessing this person has Google alerts set.

I reported yesterday and received an acknowledgment. Have reported again

CAAKE · 03/04/2018 22:15

Angry -
This Government webpage says to call the police or the NSPCC www.gov.uk/female-genital-mutilation-help-advice

That is why I emailed the NSPCC earlier today.

CAAKE · 03/04/2018 22:17

This is pertinent: You can get up to 14 years in prison for carrying out FGM or helping it to take place.

AngryAttackKittens · 03/04/2018 22:18

Let's hope the NSPCC act on it. Twitter most likely won't, because the dudebros working there don't care.

CAAKE · 03/04/2018 22:21

I've just checked and I've had an email back from the NSPCC saying they have received my message and are investigating but that they will only contact me if they need to. That seems quite positive.

That is someone else's screenshot...different time to mine. Interesting...What is the point of them being in violation if they don't do anything about it?

TERFragetteCity · 03/04/2018 22:27

Well done CAAKE

LassWiADelicateAir · 03/04/2018 22:27

The feed is also anti-semitic (opposition to FGM is a Zionist , anti- Muslim conspiracy) but I suppose anti-semitism doesn't seem to bother some people these days either.

I e-mailed NSPCC too.

The screenshot has the time I snapped it. The actual image of the "Reported message" in the twitter feed has no time on it. I've attached it- (again the time on surrounding area is just the time I snapped it.

And, it's still there today. WTAF?

I've seen people sharing the tweet on twitter to try to raise awareness that twitter won't take it down. It's a disgrace!

AngryAttackKittens · 05/04/2018 08:21

Twitter is run by sexist dirtbags. My nephew worked there for a while and this sadly does not surprise me at all. Pursuing legal options would probably be the better solution since the tech dudes mostly see no problem with this.

SonicVersusGynaephobia · 05/04/2018 10:30

There have been quite a few accounts recently I've reported, twitter said the account violated their rules, but yet it stayed up. What's going on with that?

I refer you to the answer just about your question.

I refer you to the answer just above your question.
