The company has updated its rules to make it clear that abuse will not be
tolerated, and has put extra staff in place to handle reports of abuse, it said
today.
The move comes as police revealed they are investigating allegations by eight
people of abuse on the microblogging site.
Scotland Yard said its e-crime unit is looking into the claims, three of
which involve incidents outside London.
Twitter found itself in the spotlight after three female journalists said
they had been the subject of bomb threats on the site and two received threats
of rape.
The revelations sparked a backlash online, with an online petition calling
for Twitter to add a "report abuse" button to tweets attracting more than
120,000 signatures.
