Twitter updates rules on abusive behavior and hateful conduct

Twitter issued a statement earlier on its blog that they’re still fighting abuse and will not tolerate any harassment.

One of the major downsides of social media is the amount of abuse and harassment that takes place. Twitter has updated its policy multiple times to better enforce its rules against abusive users and has updated its service terms yet again. Twitter added a “hateful conduct” section which further exemplifies the issue and indicates what could happen if a user breaks these terms.

Earlier this year, Twitter made it easier to report trolls and harmful behavior. Today, the company sent out an important reminder that it hasn’t forgotten about these issues and will continue to take them with all seriousness.
