NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- In an effort to make sure that people can continue expressing themselves freely and safely on the microblogging site, Twitter (TWTR - Get Report) announced today that it formed a 'Trust & Safety Council'.
Twitter shares are increasing by 0.67% to $15 on Tuesday morning.
"With hundreds of millions of Tweets sent per day, the volume of content on Twitter is massive, which makes it extraordinarily complex to strike the right balance between fighting abuse and speaking truth to power," the company said in a blog post.
The Council, consisting of over 40 organizations and experts from 13 regions, will work together to provide input on Twitter's safety products, policies and programs.
This action comes after the company on Friday announced that it suspended more than 125,000 accounts promoting terrorism since the middle of 2015.
On Wednesday after the market close, Twitter will report its fourth quarter fiscal 2015 earnings. Wall Street is looking for a profit of 12 cents a share on revenue of $709.94 million. Investors will be paying close attention to how the company will combat slowing user growth and growing competition.
Separately, TheStreet Ratings currently has a "Sell" rating on the stock with a letter grade of D.
This is driven by multiple weaknesses, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results compared to most of the stocks we cover. Among the areas we feel are negative, one of the most important has been a generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself.
Recently, TheStreet Ratings objectively rated this stock according to its "risk-adjusted" total return prospect over a 12-month investment horizon. Not based on the news in any given day, the rating may differ from Jim Cramer's view or that of this articles's author.
