Twitter has revised its policies on “abuse and harassment” in the wake of concerns that tech providers should be doing more to combat the Islamic State.

“Today, as part of our continued efforts to combat abuse, we’re updating the Twitter Rules to clarify what we consider to be abusive behaviour and hateful conduct,” the company said in a blog post on Wednesday. “The updated language emphasizes that Twitter will not tolerate behavior intended to harass, intimidate or use fear to silence another user’s voice.”
