NYT: ‘While Twitter is trying to find a way to reconcile its free speech stance with how women and minorities can be targeted on the service, the company has been clearer about combating terrorism.’

I am confused. Can men not be targeted for abuse on Twitter? Or is it only the pain of women and minorities that counts? Is any criticism of women or minorities “abuse”?

New York Times:

While Twitter has long championed free speech on the web and said that it was a “global town square,” its positioning has drawn bullies, racists and extremist groups to the service to spread their messages. That has drawn criticism from government agencies and the Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, among others.
