Twitter has announced a new trust and safety council to stamp out bullying and trolling on the microblogging site. The Twitter Trust & Safety Council will initially be formed of around 40 bodies, including the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative, ICT Watch, NetSafe, and Samaritans. These organisations, along with safety experts, academics and security researchers, will work to ensure a safe and secure platform for users to express themselves freely and safely. The Council's main focus will be to protect minors, encourage 'greater compassion and empathy on the internet,' and promote efforts in media literacy and digital citizenship. Community groups will also participate to help prevent online 'abuse, harassment, and bullying,' as well as mental health problems and suicide.

    This piece uses a minimalist presentation with influences from early impressionalism, possibly abstract cubism. While the artist is blunt and to the point, this piece does little to encourage replies contrary to its core message.

    (I guess just responses from trolll critics like me!)

    Oh yeah, trolling has come to mean just being an oalf these days. Oh well.

    To be fair, when twitter trolling, you don't really have enough space to line up a classy troll.
