- Twitter on Tuesday announced a new violent speech policy for users of the site to adhere to.
- The new rules prohibit threats of violence against people — as well as infrastructure and buildings.
- Users may also be suspended or banned for wishing harm, illness, or tragedy on others.
Under Twitter's new violent speech policy, threatening to kill or rape someone has the same consequence as threatening to damage infrastructure or business property.
