"The protests have marked the rise of a new generation... Technology mattered, but this was not a technological revolution. Social networks did not cause these movements, but they kept them alive and connected. Technology allowed us to watch, and it spread the virus of protest, but this was not a wired revolution; it was a human one, of hearts and minds, the oldest technology of all."

The first step has at least been accomplished, Twitter publicly admits it has a massive user harassment problem that needs to be addressed. As someone who was bullied heavily in her elementary school years, any form of bullying, online or in real time, is heavily emotionally damaging. These new rules of conduct for Twitter sound promising, but my concern is how well artificial intelligence will pick up on certain kinds of abusive language, because not everything is black and white.
