"Making Twitter a safer place is our primary focus and we are now moving with more urgency than ever," said Ed Ho, the company's vice president of engineering, in a string of tweets. "We heard you, we didn't move fast enough last year; now we're thinking about progress in days and hours not weeks and months," Ho continued.

While Twitter purged a number of provocative accounts from the social media company in recent months, it apparently wasn't enough for Ho or other users of the revolutionary platform.

"We'll be rolling out a number of product changes in the days ahead. Some changes will be visible and some will be less so," Ho tweeted, later adding that there is a need for "long overdue fixes to mute/block."

The social media company has received tons of criticism from both ends of the debate, some arguing that it is not doing enough to remove offensive comment or the offensive commenters themselves, and others arguing that it is censoring content and not acting as a medium for free speech.
