Do you need protection from meanie words online? Well you’re in luck, because Twitter dot com is rolling our yet another “offensive” filter, this time in your DMs. Unwanted messages aren’t fun. So we’re testing a filter in your DM requests to keep those out of sight, out of mind. pic.twitter.com/Sg5idjdeVv— Support (@Support) August 15, 2019 The social media giant announced today that it is testing a filter for messages that contain offensive content. Messages containing potentially suspect words will be stored away in a folder marked “additional messages.” Users can then opt to see them specifically.Source: Engadget As you may or may not know, Twitter already has several of these “offensive” filters in place across the site. From replies to your own tweets, to “quality filter” search results, and now your DM messages will also be protected by Big Brother Twitter Inc, so have no fear! https://twitter.com/getongab/status/1162026251164495872 Twitter has a duty, a moral obligation, to protect you from people saying things like “Thank you for existing.” This type of offensive hate speech can’t stand in the replies to your own tweets.

Soon I’ll be able to turn off retweets, favorites, follows, and replies so I can shout into the void and not trigger my sensitive feelings. Hi there! Gab is fully supported by people like you.
