I'm rarely harassed on-line, nor am I a likely target for harassment, so it's hard for me to even posit a guess as to whether this suite of policies will be enough. I'm guessing not.

No one should be harassed on-line, and the people more likely to be harassed have every reason to be angry with Twitter for its start-and-stop attitude towards this. We all should be. I wish I had the confidence necessary to believe this will eventually be done no matter what; without that, we must continue to pay attention at every step.
