    FILE - This Friday, Oct. 18, 2013, file photo, shows a Twitter app on an iPhone screen in New York. “Ghostbusters” star Leslie Jones has abandoned Twitter because of the social media company’s inability to protect its users from online harassment. Twitter permanently suspended conservative provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos, who orchestrated a torrent of racist and sexist comments aimed at Jones, but clearly has farther to go to improve its reputation. For what it’s worth, Twitter is trying, while also hoping to maintain its status as a bastion of free speech.

    Twitter says in a blog post that it has modified its notification settings to include the ability to see only notifications from people they follow. It’s also introducing what it calls a “quality filter” that it says can improve the quality of tweets users see. Twitter says the feature will filter out duplicate tweets or content that appears to be automated.

    The announcement from San Francisco-based Twitter comes a month after “Saturday Night Live” and “Ghostbusters” star Leslie Jones publicly called on Twitter to do more to curb harassment on the platform. Twitter banned one user in response to the incident.
