To enable faster response times, ‘’we’ve made the first of several behind-the-scenes improvements to the tools and processes that help us review reported Tweets and accounts’’. It said.
The updates are available now for a small group of users but twitter says it will roll them out to everyone in the coming weeks.
And the company is not done yet, it saiys in the coming months, you can expect to see additional user controls, further improvements to reporting and new enforcement procedures for abusive accounts.
‘’We’ll continue to work hard on these changes in order to improve the experience of people who encounter abuse on Twitter’’ it said
