Users will be equipped with filtering options which will give users more control over what they see from certain types of accounts, such as those without profile pictures, or with unverified email addresses or phone numbers. The new algorithm will enable users to mute tweets from within their home timelines, and decide how long the content will be muted.

According to the Twitter Spokesperson, "these updates are part of the ongoing safety work we announced in January, and follow our changes announced on February 7," he further reiterated that Twitter will be more transparent about actions it takes in response to reports of harassment from users.
