Journalists face serious issues on the platform. Trolls and fake accounts attack them daily. Harassment makes their work dangerous. False information spreads fast. This confuses the public. Trust in news suffers. The group says Twitter’s current rules fail. Verification checks are weak. Bad actors easily get blue ticks. Reporting abuse feels useless. Responses take too long. Action is rare.
The group warns Twitter is unsafe for professionals. They need help. And they need it fast. They plan direct talks with Twitter owner Elon Musk. They want a meeting soon. They will list specific fixes. They expect real changes. The journalists vow to keep pressure on. They say Twitter must support free speech and safety. Both things matter equally. Right now, safety is missing.
