How to mute abusive Twitter trolls: Try these new notification settings
Twitter has updated its notification settings in an attempt to curb harassment.
Just because trolls exist on the internet doesn't mean you have to listen to them.
Twitter now lets you mute notifications from abusive anonymous Twitter accounts. The feature was announced last week and went live Thursday for Android and web versions. No word yet on when the feature will come to iOS.
Twitter has previously stated its commitment to help combat online harassment, an ongoing problem that plagues the site. One plan is to let you control who you get notifications from. With this new feature, you can silence notifications from accounts that don't have a confirmed email address, confirmed phone number, or profile photo (using the default egg icon instead).
Some online trolls hide behind their sense of anonymity, so muting notifications from accounts that aren't tied to a person's identity might help prevent abusive anonymous tweets from reaching their target.
This new feature can mute people who create new accounts just for the sake of bullying, but it won't stop them from tweeting or remove the tweets. Trolls can get around this by confirming their email, phone number, or adding a photo -- but it means they can't create throwaway accounts as quickly, and the contact info could offer extra ways to hold that person accountable.
You also have the option of muting everyone you don't follow. You might want to think twice about doing this, because it prevents all new people from reaching out to you, even those with good intentions.
To change the notification settings on the web version do the following:
Log into your account and click the Notifications tab in the top left.
Click Settings at the top of the notification feed.
This will bring you into the menu where you can control who you receive notifications from. Hit Save changes when you are done.

Vice President Mike Pence greets members of the audience at a reception for the Organization of American States in the Indian Treaty Room at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on the White House complex in Washington, Monday, June 4, 2018, as the Trump administration renewed its call Monday for the Organization of American States to suspend Venezuela and for other members to step up pressure on the country's government to restore constitutional order.

Vice President Mike Pence and his wife Karen invited a group of more than 22 countries' leaders to the White House for a cocktail reception
In the spring of 2017, a high level Trump administration official asked for details on how many Haitians with Temporary Protected Status were on public benefits, how many were convicted of “crimes of any kind,” and how many had been in the country unlawfully before being granted TPS. When told by staffers that this information wasn’t relevant to granting TPS and that the existing data “wasn’t good,” she continued to press ahead. She explained that the Homeland Security Secretary “is going to need this to make a final decision” that spring on whether to extend TPS for Haitians. They were granted the right to stay in the U.S. after a devastating 2010 earthquake. To critics of that decision, these emails, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act by the National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers Guild, reveal an administration intent on seeking negative information to doom the renewal of TPS for nearly 60,000 Haitians. “Keep in mind that this is in no way relevant to dec
