Twitter expands its crackdown on trolling and hate
Twitter is to expand its Safety Mode feature, which lets users temporarily block accounts that send harmful or abusive tweets. Half of the platform's users in the UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland will now have access. The Safety Mode feature can be turned on in settings, and the system will assess both the tweet's content and the relationship between the tweet author and replier. In response to its tweet announcing the expanded rollout, many users claimed that their accounts had been suspended for no reason. Like all social media platforms, Twitter relies on a combination of automated and human moderation.
