Interesting thread.

@Afzal4Gorton Great initiative thanks.
You might like to see the research published at @InternetClean about disinformation and vaccine conspiracies, and what can be done to tackle it.

@MarkTaber_FII @jimconey Yes, what justification is there for allowing these accounts to pop up, receive large transfers from various accounts and immediately empty them? If banks were made responsible for fraud they would soon find a solution.

@AlexDaviesJones @CommonsDCMS @JoStevensLabour Who says "later this year" in December? Maybe the answer was published a month early in error.

@compinpolitics @Siobhan_Baillie @timesredbox @MoreUnitedUK @CentenaryAction @hopenothate @EngenderScot @CarolineLucas @Debbie_abrahams This raises an important issue. We are a Stroud constituent that set up @InternetClean to tackle some of these issues and would be happy to discuss them with you.

@VictimsComm @Catch22 Some very important comments here.

@LordIanAustin @adamlangleben You might want to look at the proposals put forward by @InternetClean to tackled the worst excesses of anonymous accounts.

[Laura Kinsella Foundation @LauraFoundation]

So important to debate this issue.

I’m determined that we finally end the toxic abuse, hate speech and misinformation that is so widespread on social media.

@AlexDaviesJones @NickKristof Couldn't agree more.
The free speech/libertarian brigade are either wilfully missing the point or acting as "useful idiots" behind which other commercial interests are sheltering. We have waited too long for this Bill.

@edfryer @damiengayle @Direthoughts Thanks ✌️ we were trying to find who co-ordinated this. If you look at #onlineharms you’ll find there’s been a large number of bots sending out these tweets in addition to real accounts.

@toadmeister @JonAshworth What "pressure" could have been applied by a party that has not been in government for over 10 years? When will you start to take some responsibility for the party and the policies you support?

[Laura Kinsella Foundation @LauraFoundation]

@caitlinmoran @Sathnam We have made proposals at @InternetClean to deal with abuse of anonymity. Would welcome your views.

Trump and his GOP lackeys know they can't win this election with reality-based appeals to voters, so they're relying on outright lies and manipulation.

We don't need Zuckerberg's philanthropy. We need him to serve as a check on their propaganda.

@wesstreeting We have some sensible proposals at @InternetClean to reduce the incidence of both abusive/threatening language and disinformation online. Would welcome your input.

[Laura Kinsella Foundation @LauraFoundation]

@froomkin The social media companies could do far more to help average users assess which other accounts are trustworthy. There are some sensible proposals at @InternetClean for example. Why would Twitter not take them up if it cares for its regular genuine users?

[Laura Kinsella Foundation @LauraFoundation]

@catherinerowett @twose_brian Twitter needs to have a report button that simply says "look at the state of this".
As for the fake accounts, there are a range of sensible proposals at @InternetClean for how to deal with some of the excesses.
