Twitter is going to declare war on the "Troll"
"We will not tolerate abuse of this kind!" - With these words made the director of Twitter for security and trust Affairs Harvey. The announcement was made shortly after Robin Williams’s daughter, actress Zelda Williams, “removed” her blog on Twitter because of a massive attack by trolls insulting the memory of her deceased father.
“We have suspended a number of accounts seen in violations of our rules, and we are assessing how we can change the policy to assist users in a tragic situation like this,” Harvey said in a statement to ABC News.
How exactly Twitter management plans to provide support to users in need is not yet clear, but the statement was terrible.
I recall that after the death of the beloved by millions of actor Robin Williams, his daughter Zelda (named after her parents in honor of Princess Zelda from the Legend of Zelda video game series) began to receive thousands of insults on Twitter and instagram. Zelda even turned to her readers for help, asking them to complain about the trolls to the moderators, but this did not save. After some time, the young actress could not stand it and removed Twitter from all devices.

Question to Habr - is it possible to come up with a real mechanism for dealing with trolls on social networks? Today, the only way out in such cases is not to read replays. But then thousands of words of support will not be noticed. Just block all the trolls, I think it will not work.
