Twitter says that it will launch “more aggressive enforcement of our guidelines related to chats sent during live broadcasts,” for Periscope beginning on August 10th. It will begin to “review and suspend accounts” that continually send abusive comments in chats during live broadcasts in an effort to crack down on abusive users.

Like many social media platforms, Twitter and Periscope have been forced to reckon with abusive behavior. In recent months, Twitter has unveiled a number of new steps to cut down on bad behavior, banning bots and accounts, and making its expectations and rules clearer to users. Periscope has taken some steps on its own as well — it issued updates that pulls together “flash juries” to evaluate comments a couple of years ago. But these issues still persist on the service, so the company appears to be ready to make a more concerted effort to help cut down on abuse.
