After Operation: Filthy Jew Bitch led to the government of the United Kingdom attacking Twitter and claiming Twitter needed to stop Antisemites from hurting the feelings of Jews, Twitter has changed it’s trolling policy, making it easier for people to report hurt feelings.
Twitter has overhauled the way users report abuse and harassment on the social media platform.
Following major problems with online ‘trolls’, it has now made it far simpler to block and report people.
The company said it will now require less information from users flagging inappropriate content and that it will be easier to submit tweets and accounts for review, even when wrongful behaviour is simply observed and not received directly.
‘Everything that happens in the world, happens on Twitter – to the tune of more than 500 million Tweets every day,’ the firm said.
‘That can sometimes include content that violates our rules around harassment and abuse and we want to make it easier to report such content.’.
‘We are nowhere near being done making changes in this area,’ Shreyas Doshi, director of product management and user safety said in a message posted on Twitter’s website.
‘In the coming months, you can expect to see additional user controls, further improvements to reporting and new enforcement procedures for abusive accounts.’
Users also will be able to view all the accounts they have blocked in a new blocked accounts page accessible from the settings menu on Twitter.
Take a bow, Stormer Trolls.
Methinks it is probably time we tested out how well this new system works.
What say ye?
