Twitter provided an update on steps that it is taking to help protect the integrity of the upcoming midterm elections in the U.S.
Vice president of trust and safety Del Harvey and head of site integrity Yoel Roth detailed developments across three areas: Twitter Rules; detection and enforcement; and product improvement.

Harvey and Roth said Twitter has received feedback from users indicating that its rules about spam and fake accounts only apply to tactics such as selling fake goods, so the social network updated and expanded its rules to cover “a variety of emergent, malicious behaviors.”
Factors that Twitter takes into account in determining whether an account is authentic include the use of stock photos or stolen avatar photos, the use of stolen or copied profile bios and the use of intentionally misleading profile information, such as inaccurate locations.
