Twitter u-turn on new abuse tool
The social network said it would no longer notify members who had been added to lists by other users. The social network lets members compile lists of people they follow, such as "Friends I've met", "Celebrities" or "Video gamers". Members are notified when they are added to a list, so some people abuse the feature by adding members to mean-spirited lists. On Monday, Twitter's safety team tweeted that members would no longer be notified if added to a list. Users pointed out that the change simply buried abuse, and made it harder for members to know if they had been added to an abusive list.
