Twitter quickly rolls back change to prevent abuse over worries it encourages abuse

Latest Govt. Jobs 21:58:00 News Edit
p1200529
Twitter rolled back a new fix aimed to prevent abuse a few hours after it met with protests, reflecting that the company is still scrambling to find solutions to the problem of harassment on its service, but is willing to make changes quickly in response to its users.
The social network on Monday rolled out a new feature that would ensure that users would not get notified when they are added to a list. “We want you to get notifications that matter. Starting today, you won’t get notified when you are added to a list,” wrote Twitter Safety. One user pointed out that it was critical for people to know if they have been added to a list intended for targets.
“This is blinding the vulnerable,” the user added, suggesting that the correct approach is to allow people to remove themselves from lists or do it upon blocking the owner. Another user asked for a button that prevents users from being added to lists. “I’m on a ton of lists and I don’t want to be on any,” he added.
Ed Ho, vice president of engineering at Twitter, quickly described the move as a “misstep” and said Twitter was reversing the change, while CEO Jack Dorsey said “we’re reverting and debugging what led us here.”
A number of users ridiculed Twitter for even considering the change, with some questioning whether the company understood its own platform and user concerns. Others wanted assurance that the missteps wouldn’t happen again.
Twitter said last month it would be rolling out new features to its service to counter abuse. It did not provide details of the changes but said it would be rolling out a number of product changes in the coming days and weeks. Some of the changes would be immediately visible, while the others would be more targeted to specific scenarios, the company said. It added that it would be testing, learning and iterating on the changes as it went along.
The company said recently that it is taking steps to identify people who have been permanently suspended and stop them from creating new accounts, with a focus on accounts that are set up only to abuse and harass others. It also said it was working on ‘safe search’ that removes tweets with potentially sensitive content or that come  from blocked and muted accounts, besides identifying and collapsing potentially abusive or low-quality Tweet replies.
The favorite social platform for U.S. President Donald Trump to communicate his views and policies has over the long-term seen an uptick in abuse and harassment on the service, with some users even quitting it after being harassed online.
The service is also seeing very low growth in the number of its users and its revenue, making it urgent for the company to address any irritants, including abuse. It added 2 million monthly active users in the fourth quarter, its lowest addition in three quarters, taking its total users to 319 million. Revenue in the quarter was US$717 million, up 1 percent year-on-year, while it posted a loss in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of $167 million.
