Trolls thrive on Twitter—but a new update may hit 'em where it hurts.。
The social network deployed previously announced features Thursday that give users more control over the notifications they receive. Bottomline, you can disable notifications from people who haven't confirmed their identity on Twitter, meaning anonymous trolls can't spew their wretched swamp juice all over your replies. 。

Twitter has been rightly dragged through the mud for failing to meaningfully address its harassment crisis. Lindy West, a well-known feminist writer who has frequently discussed online abuse, put it well in a column for。 The Guardian。 The Guardian 。
last month: 。
... the breaking point for me wasn’t the trolls themselves (if I have learned anything from the dark side of Twitter, it is how to feel nothing when a frog calls you a cunt) – it was the global repercussions of Twitter’s refusal to stop them.。

To enable them, go to your Notifications pane, tap settings and then hit "advanced filters." You can tell Twitter to automatically mute any of the following:。
Accounts you don't follow。
Accounts you don't follow。
People who don't have a profile picture。
People who haven't confirmed their e-mail。
People who haven't confirmed their phone numbers。
That last one may be particularly effective. While setting up a phony e-mail address takes all of 30 seconds, changing your phone number is much trickier. Thus, troll accounts—which are frequently reported and banned—are less likely to have a confirmed phone number, making this a pretty effective strategy for curbing harassment. 。
