Previously users had to use an online form.
Social media platform Twitter announced changes to its safety features on the app Tuesday. While many users have called for the platform to make safety changes that would protect users who are targeted or harassed, other changes were introduced instead.
"We move quickly to enforce our rules, but sometimes we don’t have the full context and can make mistakes," said Twitter. Some people on Twitter were pleased with the change, replying to the post from Twitter with messages like,"Good move guys cheers" and"I appreciate your attempt at fairness." Others were less excited, saying they'll believe the change when they see it.
The Twitter rules state that users cannot post content that wishes, or expresses, the want for harm or death to group or individual; they can not send unwanted sexual advances or content; can’t harass other users; can’t glorify violence or threaten it and more. Accounts that do publish such posts can be reported and Twitter can remove the tweets or the entire account.
Users will then have the option to start the appeal process and either remove the tweet or explain why it doesn’t violate the community guidelines in the first place. The example Twitter gives is a tweet that says, “Boom headshot! You don’t have a chance! I’m going to kill you this time with a knife.”
