Twitter has another round of updates intended to combat abuse on the platform.

Twitter is working to identify accounts engaging in abusive behavior, even if the account hasn't yet been flagged, Twitter VP of Engineering Ed Ho wrote in a blog post. If an account is repeatedly tweeting at non-followers without solicitation, for instance, Twitter may make it so that only the tweeter's followers can see their tweets for a certain amount of time.

The rule will apply to accounts engaging in "patterns of abusive behavior," Ho wrote. "Our platform supports the freedom to share any viewpoint, but if an account continues to repeatedly violate the Twitter Rules, we will consider taking further action," he added.

The idea is to punish only abusive accounts but because the tools are new, Twitter might accidentally take action against a benign user. "We will sometimes make mistakes, but know that we are actively working to improve and iterate on them everyday," Ho wrote.

Twitter is also introducing new filtering options to give users more control over the notifications they see. You can now mute notifications from people you don't follow, so-called "egg" accounts without a profile photo, as well as users with unverified email addresses and phone numbers. To do that, click on the gear icon in the upper-left corner of the Twitter app, click through to Advanced filters, and select the norifications you want to mute.

"Many people requested more filter options for their notifications, and we're excited to bring these to everyone on Twitter," Ho wrote.

You can also now mute tweets with certain words, phrases, or entire conversations from appearing in your timeline, and decide how long that content is silenced: a day, week, month, or indefinitely. This new tool comes after Twitter in November started letting people mute this content from their notifications.

Finally, when you report abuse on the platform, Twitter will follow up to let you know it received the report, along with any action it's taking. This will be visible in your notifications tab.

Recent news reports have highlighted several disturbing reports of teens and tweens live streaming their own suicides on Facebook and other social networks.

In response, Facebook on Wednesday announced that its suicide prevention tools will now be integrated into Live, so if you're watching a broadcast and someone expresses suicidal thoughts, you can report the video and get the person help.

If you're ever in this scenario, press "report live video," and when Facebook asks you what's going on, select the option that says "suicide or self-injury." From there, the broadcaster will see suicide prevention resources on their screen, including a phone number for a crisis help line. When you report a suicidal video, Facebook will also show you information on how to help your friend.

Facebook is also making it easier to connect with crisis support organizations over Messenger. Now, those who need help can message with someone from the Crisis Text Line, the National Eating Disorder Association, or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline in real time. You can initiate a chat from the organization's Page or through Facebook's suicide prevention tools.

Finally, Facebook is using artificial intelligence to identify and help people report suicidal posts. The system uses pattern recognition to automatically identify posts likely to include thoughts of suicide. On these posts, Facebook will also more prominently display the option to report it for suicide or self-injury.

"We have teams working around the world, 24/7, who review reports that come in and prioritize the most serious reports like suicide," the company said.

"If you or someone you know is in crisis, it is important to call local emergency services right away," Facebook Product Manager Vanessa Callison-Burch, Researcher Jennifer Guadagno, and Head of Global Safety Antigone Davis wrote in a blog post. "You can also visit our Help Center for information about how to support yourself or a friend."

They added that there's one death by suicide in the world every 40 seconds. Moreover, suicide is the second leading cause of death for 15- to 29-year-olds. "Experts say that one of the best ways to prevent suicide is for those in distress to hear from people who care about them," the team wrote.
