Tech News - Twitter is overhauling its safety policy and beefing up the team
responsible for enforcing it, along with investing "heavily" in ways to
detect and limit the reach of abusive content, general counsel Vijaya
Gadde said in an column published by the Washington Post.
"We need to do a better job combating abuse without chilling or silencing speech," Gadde said. Twitter last month modified its rules to ban 'revenge porn' -- the tweeting of intimate or revealing pictures or video of people without their permission.
The San Francisco-based micro-blogging site is also taking steps to curtail the use of anonymously created Twitter accounts to intimidate or silence targeted people.
"We are changing our approach to this problem, in some ways that won't be readily apparent and in others that will be," Gadde said.
Twitter has tripled the size of the team responsible for protecting users of the service, resulting in a five-fold increase in the speed of response to complaints, according to the general counsel.
"We are also overhauling our safety policies to give our teams a better framework from which to protect vulnerable users," Gadde said.
