Over the past few months, Twitter has taken some small steps to help mitigate harassment. It tripled the team that handles reports of harassment, and began asking suspended users to verify a phone number and delete offending tweets before reinstatement. It updated its policies to specifically ban revenge porn and other content posted without a user’s consent. It made reporting threats to the police a little easier. It implemented a new notifications filtering option. Twitter has has also delpoyed a new algorithm to try to reign in abuse on the site. Twitter is currently working on a way to automatically detect abusive tweets – using indicators like account age and a tweet’s similarity to previously-flagged tweets.

Block list import/export functionality will start rolling out to some users today. Twitter says everyone should have it in the coming weeks.
