Tech companies are ‘washing their hands’ of online ‘lynch mobs’, says Arlene Foster

The recently oustedleader said online trolling is one of the biggest obstacles to women taking part in public roles in the modern era.

“But with every fibre in my being I will work to ensure the obstacles to women in public life are removed by the roots.” “Whether it is Google, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter or SnapChat, they can’t just step back as the publisher and wash their hands of the problem.” Deputy First Minister Michelle O’Neill, also speaking at the event, said the “sad reality” is that women in leadership roles in all walks of life “are not treated equally or fairly” by society.
