To crack down on cyber bullying and continued harassment on social media, Twitter has rolled out a new way of cracking down on online bullies. This could probably lead to some positive change for Twitter. The changes include:
- Keeping serial abusers from creating new accounts.
- New “Safe Search” function.
- Blocking abusive and “low quality” tweets from your conversations.
According to Twitter, the new “Safe Search” function will prevent abusive tweets or tweets from blocked and mute accounts from appearing in users search results. Those tweets can still be found if people want to see them, but they won’t clutter search results any longer.
I applaud Twitter for what they are doing. For most people Twitter is a great tool to promote and advertise, and to use if they want to know what is happening in real-time. Many lawyers use Twitter to update their clients and followers on current laws, current events, and business hours.
