Twitter Offers More Sophisticated Tools Against Trolls

The new 'block list' feature enables users to share lists with other users and crowdsource their blocking.

Twitter has a troll problem, and it knows, so it’s been working recently to curb the trolling, as have third parties. Still, it seemed there weren’t enough tools available for users to protect themselves. Twitter is hoping the addition of “block lists” could help solve the problem.

You can now export and share your block lists with people in your community facing similar issues or import another user’s list into your own account and block multiple accounts all at once, instead of blocking them individually.
