How we’re making Twitter safer
Creating a better place for conversations.
Your unique voices and conversations are what make Twitter, Twitter. So we are constantly improving our rules, processes, technology, and tools to ensure all people can participate in the public conversation freely and safely.
You deserve to feel safe on Twitter — it’s our job to make that happen.
Our latest approach to safety and misleading information
Our new Safety tools are here! We've created brand new videos that help illustrate what these controls do and how they can help you get the most out of Twitter.
Reply prompts
Sometimes conversations get heated. When we detect strong language we’ll pause and ask you to reconsider your words so everyone can feel safe.
Conversation controls
Not everyone needs to be all up in every conversation. You’re in control, so change who can reply.
Addressing misleading information
Misinformation comes in many shapes and sizes, moves quickly, and often evolves again. Learn more about Twitter’s in-app features and how we think about leaving room for debate while minimizing societal harm.
