Twitter is a multi-billion-dollar company that employs world-class data scientists and engineers. Do you really think they can't automate detecting death threats from throwaway accounts?
- lelandbatey 9y agoOne example of a mitigation for this kind of behavior might be to allow users to ignore messages for accounts younger than X, where X is a length of time chosen by the recipient. This is only a mitigation, and there are plenty of ways one could get around this kind of limit. However, some action would be appreciated.
