Twitter Releases New User Safety Tools
Twitter has announced a new round of updates to their safety tools, and outlined the changes that they are making as part of their long term plan.
Twitter’s problem with harassment and abuse on the platform is well documented, with the company repeatedly coming under fire for not doing more to tackle this mounting issue.
Back in December Twitter made an update to the way that users can flag abusive tweets on the network. Yesterday they announced a new round of updates to their safety tools, and outlined the changes that they are making as part of their long term plan.
The new improvements will include more efficient measures to report impersonation, self-harm and the sharing of private or confidential information.
The release was documented by Tina Bhatnagar, vice president of user services, on the Twitter blog.
