Twitter boss vows to crack down on trolls and abuse

Dick Costolo promises to change culture around harassment: 'We're going to get a lot more aggressive about it, and it's going to start right now'

By its own boss's admission, Twitter "suck at dealing with abuse and trolls". Now Dick Costolo has shed a little more light on how the company plans to change that.

Twitter is planning to shift "the cost of dealing with harassment" on to the people accused of that harassment, not on the people who endure it, said Costolo in an interview with the New York Times.
