Recently, Twitter has announced about the improvements to simplify the way each user report harassment and abuse on the popular social media platform. The company was criticized by its weak response to violent threats.

The company stated that this will not require few information from users who are flagging inappropriate content. It also added that it will be much easier for users to submit accounts and tweets for review even when wrongful behavior was observed and not obtained directly.

According to the director of user safety and product management of Twitter, Shreyas Doshi, they are making some changes and said that users may expect to see some user controls, improvements to new enforcement procedures and reporting for abusive accounts.

Twitter users can also view all accounts blocked in the new blocked accounts page that are accessible from the menu settings on Twitter.

The Verge reported that the changes will be unveiled to all in the coming weeks and these include some modifications, which were designed to speed up the response of Twitter through better streamlining as well as prioritizing reports of abusive content. In the upcoming changes, blocking multiple accounts at once will be also included.

Last December, Twitter was forced to consider implementing a change, which includes a block feature. However, many users criticized the company as the blocked users were still capable to interact with others who'd blocked them.

Fortune also reported that there was a survey by some online advocacy groups that showed that almost half of the American population with ages under 35 were bullied, threatened or harassed online. 24 percent of people surveyed stated that the harassment took place on Twitter.

The new tools provide users much control over what they are seeing on Twitter as well as what they don't. The company will be judged not through the tool quality for reporting the abusive contents, but on how well they would address to the reports they'd received.
