Filmmaker-actor Farhan Akhtar has slammed the management at
Twitter and said that rape and death threats should not be allowed or go
unnoticed on the micro-blogging site.
"Top management at Twitter must
re-group and decide what they would like their service to be remembered for. If
it is for good, then they need to get smarter in its regulation. Rape and death
threats cannot be allowed or go unpunished. Twitter," Farhan tweeted.
His
tweet comes after actress Richa Chadha opened up about the constant death and
rape threats she received for her opinion on Hindutva.
"Hey tweeps!
Don't care about the targeted abuse because there's a lot of unemployment in the
country, if someone needs to work for Rs 10 per tweet, I don't judge them. But
RAPE AND MURDER threats? Come on @TwitterIndia @Twitter," Richa tweeted earlier
this week.
When Richa attempted to report the death and rape threat issued by
the Twitter users, the social networking service responded saying, "No violation
within context".
