Key changes are coming to Twitter this week as the company attempts to address its long-running harassment and abuse problem.
In a tweetstorm posted late Monday, Twitter VP of Engineering Ed Ho conceded that Twitter didn't move fast enough to tackle harassment last year, and said that a number of product changes are coming “in the days ahead” to address it.
Among the fixes Twitter plans to implement: one that prevents repeat offenders from creating new accounts. Ho did not explain the solution Twitter has in mind. But some observers have recommended the company tie accounts to phone numbers, giving it a way to more easily police trolls who bypass its rules.
Twitter is expected to report its earnings for the final quarter of 2016 next week. Harassment, which was a regular issue on its calls with analysts last year, could be a theme once again.
Here's Ho's full tweetstorm:
