Back in November last year, Twitter announced new anti-abuse features to give people more control over what they see when using the service. Building on those foundations, the company also introduced more ways for people experiencing targeted harassment to report the abusive behavior.
In a blog post today , Ed Ho, VP of Engineering at Twitter, reiterated that the company won’t tolerate abuse and harassment, and announced three more changes to combat trolls on the service. These changes span from account creation to search results and low-quality Tweets filtering.
The first change aims at people who have been permanently suspended and continue to create new Twitter accounts. The main goal here is to stop the creation of accounts that are only used to abuse and harass other users.
