The latest Twitter project is around the corner which is going to cease the activities that are done by hateful users. Even if the language will not directly target someone, the indirect or any kind of dehumanizing behavior would track the ‘hateful groups/users’ etc and stern actions would be taken against that entity. A currently released too called ‘Exploring Online Hate Dashboard’ is the joint project with New American Foundation and Anti-Defamation League. The working process of the dashboard searches and monitors ‘hateful content’ from 1000 Twitter accounts. Then 40 accounts that display the hateful content are selected and using them more similar accounts are searched, the other account which is found by using the algorithms which trace the similar accounts having the related content.

Researchers on Twitter can then take the action and track the hateful activities in real time. This is going to be a big relief for the users. Women are being abused and harassed on Twitter and there was no means to track the abusive accounts initially. But with this project, such activities are going to be curbed as now the authorities have means to check and trace the accounts that likes creating problems or dehumanizing other people users on Twitter.

The problem which was agitating Twitter users from a long time is now over. Yes, you guessed that correct, we are talking here about the trouble about the Twitter character count. The emojis with different skin tones were counted more than one and this created a lot of chaos in the user’s mind. Due to this, using such emojis were taking up more space and this was causing a lot of problems to the users.

The good news is here which a relief is. From today onwards, all of the emojis of Twitter will be counted as equal. This means no matter what skin tone on emojis will be used now, they will not be counted as more than one character.

Initially when users were uncomfortable with this problem, what Twitter did was it increased its character count from 140 to 280 per tweet. This provided users the ease to express themselves more elaborately than usual. Along with this when an update came where users do not have to struggle with the character count, this became a cherry on the cake.

Now, it has also opened its library to account these changes. Even though for some people this change may not be considered as revolutionary, but for the ones who use emojis a lot, it is very special. This is because now these people would be able to use more emojis than before.
