Twitter Updates Abuse Reporting System: Twitter has enhanced its abuse reporting system in response to criticism over how it has handled violations of its terms and service around conduct. The changes to Twitter’s abuse reporting system include simplified reporting from its mobile app, the need for less information when reporting, and the ability to report abuse users see but aren’t experiencing directly. Users who have blocked accounts can quickly access a page listing those blocked accounts from their settings menu.
