SAN FRANCISCO - Twitter said Tuesday it was stepping up its long-running battle against online trolls, trying to find offenders by looking at "behavioral signals." Even if the offending tweets are not a violation of Twitter policy, they may be hidden from users if they are deemed to "distort" the conversation, Twitter said. A Twitter blog post said the move aims at "troll-like behavior" which targets certain users and tweets with derisive responses. "Some troll-like behavior is fun, good and humorous. In some cases, if the content is not a violation of Twitter policies, it will not be deleted but only shown when a user clicks on "show more replies."
