Twitter boosts reporting feature to plug personal data sharing

Twitter on Thursday added to efforts to address concerns over privacy protection on social media.

In a tweet from its safety handle, the company announced an update to its abuse reporting functions, allowing users to specify personal information issues, with a GIF showing step-by-step instructions.

The social media company earlier in the day tweeted an image on its main account showing a speech bubble containing an ellipsis, which is used to signify a message being typed.
