As Twitchy told you, Twitter is pleased to unveil their new and improved safety guidelines that will totally clear up any confusion and lead to a safer, more enjoyable experience for all.
Rules should be easy to understand. We heard you, ours weren’t. We updated, reordered, and shortened them, so you can know what’s not allowed on Twitter. Click through this thread for all our rules, and read our blog to learn more. https://t.co/d5GJp8urMV

Today we're excited to announce a complete overhaul of the Twitter Rules, along with refreshed help center pages that provide more detailed info. In 280 characters or less, each rule clearly describes exactly what is not allowed on Twitter. Check it out! https://t.co/rnUscxD5SZ

Those guidelines don’t actually clear anything up. In fact, they raise more questions than answers. Questions like this, in fact:
Thanks so much for this update and easy clarification. Quick question, does this tweet qualify as a violation under new guidelines? https://t.co/uQUi1ndyMS

Well, let’s see:
Milkshake them all. Humiliate them at every turn. Make them dread public organizing. https://t.co/myrCSv07Dx pic.twitter.com/7dozYzJoAl

Gee, Twitter, that doesn’t sound very inclusive or safe.
Thank you for making twitter a safer place for everyone…. Real quick does call for violence, like this tweet from @gaywonk, go against your guide lines?
Thanks in advance for your response.https://t.co/UDJzI69gCs

Carlos’ mentions are probably blowing up again. Poor guy.
I kind of feel like these might be a problem regarding new guidelines about patterns of abuse. Anyway, thanks for your time Del. Appreciate any feedback.

We, too, would appreciate any feedback.
In the meantime, we have no choice but to be proactive and help Twitter enforce these very important and safe guidelines.
So when are you banning @gaywonk? https://t.co/eQ2wccwOEZ pic.twitter.com/CA4F2BbreU

Carlos is a menace. Clearly he’s got to go. Our safety depends on it.
I feel unsafe, and @gaywonk is directly responsible. I demand that @TwitterSafety take action against this man. pic.twitter.com/5Mvcbl6lkY
