CNN– Twitter says its cracking down on online harassment. The social media company announced a new set of features to combat what they call abusive content.
Those changes include preventing serial abusers from creating new accounts, a new “safe search” function and blocking potentially abusive and “low-quality” tweets from appearing in conversations, Twitter’s engineering chief Ed Ho said in a blog post.
