(Before It's News)

Twitter will increase the number of staff handling reports of abusive treets, will toughen its abuse rules and introduce an in-tweet “report abuse” button on all platforms to clamp down on harassment, the UK unit of the social messaging service announced Saturday.

Twitter UK boss Tony Wang offered a personal apology on the site to female victims of abuse, vowing to do more to protect them, saying that the threats were “simply not acceptable” and pledging to do more to tackle abusive troll comments. Police are investigating allegations by eight people of abuse or threatening behavior on the site.
