WASHINGTON: Twitter is going to launch a new policy to stop violent threats, abuses and harassment on the service.
The new rules are the latest implemented by social networks aiming to stop violence and harassment.
Twitter Head of Product Management Shreyas Doshi said in blog on Tuesday that they were introducing new policy to develop a platform on which users can safely engage with the world at large.
Doshi said in the blog that Twitter had updated its policy against violent threats. The new tool, which was not described in detail, could help Twitter identify abusive activity by looking at “a wide range of signals and context that frequently correlates with abuse including the age of the account itself, and the similarity of a tweet to other content that our safety team has in the past independently determined to be abusive.
He said in the blog that this tool would not affect users ability to see content.
