For Twitter users who were at the receiving end of the age restriction-based ban by the company, here's some good news. Twitter will be restoring accounts which were locked because of the new EU privacy rules and the company's own rules for users under 13 years of age, Cnet reported.
Due to the new rules, Twitter ended up locking out those accounts which were identified as under-13 at the time of creation. However, those users are now old enough to use the platform.
Recently, Twitter said it is changing its service to give more space to major events such as the World Cup, earthquakes, royal weddings and elections in a bid to make it easier for people to find interesting tweets. Twitter has tried to stand out with users and advertisers by emphasizing live events and instant news, in contrast with social networks such as Facebook Inc that have made news a lower priority than posts about family or friends.
San Francisco-based Twitter said it would begin notifying users in its app when an event was happening that might interest them, and that it would promote such events in a dedicated section of Twitter's search page.
The prompts will appear at the top of Twitter's timeline, the heart of the service and the first thing that users generally see when they open Twitter on a smartphone, said Keith Coleman, Twitter vice president of product.
"We want Twitter to be the little bird on your shoulder that tells you what you need to know when you need to know it," Coleman said in a briefing with reporters. Tapping on the prompts will take users to selections of tweets, pictures and video on a topic, put together by a combination of computer algorithms and human "curators." Twitter launched a similar feature called "Moments" in 2015, and the latest changes expand on that feature, Coleman said.
