Twitter has introduced a 'report tweet' option for users who are targeted with threatening and abusive messages on the popular social networking site.
The report button had already been introduced for mobile phone users, but is now available across all platforms, including desktop websites, The Independent reported.
The move has been hailed by the hundreds of thousands of campaigners who had called for the social network sites to take action against threatening and abusive users.
Criado Perez, from north London, was one of a number of women who were subjected to a torrent of abuse by Twitter users last month.
Perez successfully lobbied to keep women on the face of bank notes, but then began receiving rape threats from various users for 48-hours.
