Twitter has announced a new initiative to combat harassment on its platform: the Twitter Trust & Safety Council. The Council, as Twitter calls it, brings together experts from 40 different organizations into a single group (presumably a contact list) that the social network can reach out to when it develops "products, policies, and programs" to will help users "feel safe expressing themselves." Unfortunately, while Twitter has gotten pretty good at talking up what it's doing to fight abusive behavior on its platform, it's not actually that great at enforcing its existing policies — something its own employees can testify to.

Airlines, Air France, KLM, and Ryanair no longer offer customer service support using Twitter's direct message functionality.
