Following on from Rose McGown's account suspension and subsequent boycott, Twitter's CEO Jack Dorsey says new rules are about to be enforced on the social media platform.

In a series of tweets last night, Dorsey said that Twitter will be taking "a more aggressive stance in our rules and how we enforce them," and specifically named "unwanted sexual advances, non-consensual nudity, hate symbols, violent groups, and tweets that glorifies violence" as areas that'd feature in new rules for the site.

When asked on how the likes of white nationalist Richard Spencer was verified by the service, Dorsey replied that Twitter was "reconsidering our verification process", but added that it wasn't "high priority."

Twitter has been under consistent criticism for a number of reasons, most notably how it handles Donald Trump's Twitter account - which regularly and flagrantly abuses Twitter's terms of services - and the underlying problem with bots, hate-speech, doxxing, and how it handles abuse on the platform.
