#Twitter updates rules on #violence and other hateful threats

Twitter has updated its rules, regarding making hateful threats and inciting violence on its platform.

Accounts that utilize slurs, epithets, racist or sexist tropes, incite fear, or reduce someone to less than human, will be permanently suspended.

In addition, hateful imagery will now be considered sensitive media. Such imagery can be logos, symbols, or images with a purpose is to promote hostility and malice against others based on their race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or ethnicity/national origin.

If this type of content appears in header or profile images, Twitter will now accept profile-level reports, and require account owners to remove any violating media.

In recent days, Twitter also introduced two-factor authentication using third party apps, expanding its previous use of SMS.
