Twitter eliminates 100,000 trolls accounts in three months

Twitter knows that it has a huge problem with fake accounts and so-called trolls. So the social network deletes millions of accounts every year. In this case, the firm shares new data from this year. Like in three months they have eliminated 100, 000 accounts that were created after creating a similar profile in the past. So they are repeat users in this regard.

This represents an increase of 45% compared to last year, as confirmed by the social network. A constant struggle, which is still not entirely effective, despite new measures being taken.

Twitter against trolls

The social network confirms that they have changed the way of working. Since previously only potentially abusive tweets were reviewed, they were reported. Although now they have changed the focus, in addition to having a team of people who review accounts, which is where they get a lot of this data that helps to close or delete accounts. So a combination of automated fighting and a human team is what helps in this regard.

For example, they confirm that 38% of abusive content is resolved proactively, thanks to the fact that the human team reviews them after users have reported this type of content. So there is also more user participation.

Without a doubt, Twitter continues to fight this problem, which is still difficult to manage on a social network like this. They will probably continue to announce measures in the coming weeks. We will see what new changes they plan to introduce.
