Twitter will block repeat Periscope abusers

As part of its ongoing efforts of clamping down on abusers across its network, Twitter will start blocking accounts of repeat offenders who post abusive comments during Periscope live streams.

The current comment moderation policy of Periscope involves group moderation which basically suspends a user when majority viewers report a comment as abusive, TechCrunch reported.

With the new guidelines, accounts getting repeat suspensions will be reviewed and suspended.

The number of abusers on social media engines has started skyrocketing for a while. The problem is not just with Twitter as Facebook also faces issues with such kind of users who, when disagreeing with a content, criticise it in an extremely harsh manner which goes beyond just showing the disappointment.

The reason for this is the loose mechanism which social media platforms have for eliminating such aggressive users creating trouble for others.
