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. 。
