New initiatives are taken by Twitter to build safety include stopping the creation of new abusive accounts, introducing safer search results, and collapsing potentially abusive or low-quality Tweets
Micro-blogging site and global live communication platform, Twitter, has announced three massive changes in its safety features to ensure the security of account holders. The changes include stopping the creation of new abusive accounts, bringing forward safer search results, and collapsing potentially abusive or low-quality Tweets.
Last week, the micro-blogging site has introduced an improvement to report abusive Tweets that give people experiencing targeted harassment more ways to report it. Twitter began building on this initiative in November, and is continuing to work on ways to give people more control over what they see on the platform.

Stopping the creation of new abusive accounts:
Twitter is taking steps to identify people who have been permanently suspended and stop them from creating new accounts. This focuses more effectively on some of the most prevalent and damaging forms of behavior, particularly accounts that are created only to abuse and harass others.
Introducing safer search results:
Twitter is also working on ‘safe search’ that helps to remove Tweets that contain potentially sensitive content and Tweets from blocked and muted accounts from search results. While this type of content will be discoverable if you want to find it, it won’t clutter search results any longer.
Collapsing potentially abusive or low-quality Tweets:
Twitter team is also working on identifying and collapsing potentially abusive and low-quality replies so the most relevant conversations are brought forward. These Tweet replies will still be accessible to those who seek them out. This can be expected to roll out in the coming weeks.
Twitter announced that it will continue to roll out product changes, some of which will be visible. With every change, the site is looking forward to learn, iterate, and continue to move at this speed until it has made a significant impact that people can feel.
