Twitter's announced a new set of policies aimed at countering election interference. In an update to its rules, the company lists a whole new set of behaviors that can get an account banned. Using a stock or stolen avatar photo, a stolen or copied profile bio will now be deemed suspicious, along with giving deliberately misleading profile information, including profile location. And Twitter will take action against any account taking responsibility for a hack, threatening a hack, or encouraging others to carry one out. "We continue to partner closely with the RNC, DNC, and state election institutions to improve how we handle these issues," it says.
