Twitter bows down to Melania, will cut down cyber-bullying
Quote:
Twitter, facing pressure for not doing enough to curb abusive behavior on its platform, said on Tuesday it would upgrade some features to better combat cyber-bullying.
The company said it would expand the "mute" option to allow users to block tweets based on keywords, phrases and the content of conversations from a user's notifications.
The "mute" option currently allows users to block tweets from accounts.
The change will be rolled out to all users in the coming days, Twitter said in a blog post. (bit.ly/2fVpQ6j)
