Twitter to announce tools to curb online harassment

Twitter is making sure to make the facility a safer place and do a better job in stopping harassment by rolling out new updates.

This week users will begin seeing the first effort to make things right, including making fixes to the mute and block feature and preventing “repeat offenders from creating new accounts.

A Twitter spokesman said, “We’re approaching safety with a sense of urgency. As such, we will be rolling out a number of product changes in the coming days and weeks — some will be immediately visible, while others will be more targeted to specific scenarios.”
