Twitter is seeking feedback for two potential new features, “Filter” and “Limit”, both of which will hide offensive or harmful replies
and people who might create that content — away from your replies. These are early ideas, so we'd love your feedback 👀🧵👇 https://twitter.com/... @mariedenee : This is curious and I'm wondering how this would act in the hands of bad actors siccing their folks on a user who is doing good or is from a vulnerable community... Also, does this limit the effect of bot accounts? https://twitter.com/... Zeerak Talat / @zeerakw : Great to see that @Twitter are being proactive. But most of these seem to focus on the targets of abuse instead of perpetrators. Mainly focusing on targets, seems not too different from focusing targets of offline violence: Obviously important but the problem are the perpetrators https://twitter.com/... S. E. Smith / @sesmith : We can eliminate reply guys in our lifetime! https://twitter.com/... Mx. D. E. Anderson / @diannaeanderson : This is interesting! My worry would be that this could be easily gamed to “shadowban” marginalized people. https://twitter.com/...
We're exploring new controls called “Filter” and “Limit” that could help you keep potentially harmful content — and people who might create that content — away from your replies. These are early ideas, so we'd love your feedback 👀🧵👇 https://twitter.com/...
