Facebook has created two new tools aimed at reducing bullying and abusive behaviour on the site. One feature monitors information such as IP addresses to prevent blocked users from simply creating new accounts. The second works in concert with Facebook Messenger and enables users to automatically ignore communications, which are then put into a filtered messages folder. The move follows the recent launch of a snooze feature, allowing friends to be "muted" for up to 30 days.
