Abusive Behaviour On Twitter

Kangana Ranaut's Twitter account was suspended in May last year for repeated violations of rules, specifically for "hateful conduct and abusive behaviour"

Actor Kangana Ranaut's account was permanently removed today by Twitter, which accused her of violating its rules on hateful conduct and abusive behaviour with a controversial post.

Twitter has permanently suspended actor Kangana Ranaut's account for repeated violations of rules, specifically its "Hateful Conduct and Abusive Behaviour policy," the microblogging site said in a statement on Tuesday. The 34-year-old actor's handle @KanganaTeam now displays the message: account suspended.

The BJP today said many people face indecent behaviour in social media and that its senior leader and Union minister Sushma Swaraj has sorted out herself the issue of her abusive trolling by many users on Twitter.

Adding a way to check that a real person is behind new accounts was described by Twitter as being among measures to fight abuse, trolls, and hateful content.

Twitter said it would use behavioural signals to identify harassers on the social network and then limit the visibility of their tweets.

Twitter Inc late on Tuesday permanently suspended a number of user accounts for harassment, vowing to redouble its efforts to quickly thwart abusive behaviour and block repeat offenders from the social media site.

Tuesday's announcement did not disclose changes to Twitter's enforcement strategy.

Twitter Inc has clarified its definition of abusive behaviour that will prompt it to delete accounts, banning "hateful conduct" that promotes violence against specific groups.

People found guilty of Internet "trolling" in Britain could be jailed for up to two years under government proposals outlined on Sunday, following a number of high-profile cases of abusive and threatening behaviour on Twitter.
