Twitter Safe Mode

The developers of Twitter have just released the Secure Mode (Safety Mode in English), with which they intend to automatically block Tweets unwanted, that contain insults anyway, that make a lot of noise and that do not contribute anything to anyone. They want to reduce disruptive interactions.

This new security feature will initially be released to a small group of users who provide feedback on iOS, Android and Twitter.com , starting with accounts that have the English language setting enabled.This means that it will not be available to everyone yet.

How to enable Twitter safe mode:

To activate you simply have to access the "Settings and privacy" of your account and within the "Privacy and security" section, you will see a new option called Safe Mode, in English Safety mode .

Once you click on it, the options that make up this new function will appear, which you can configure to your liking.

If you enable this mode, Twitter will hide tweets from certain potentially inappropriate accounts. This means that accounts that often write insults or hate comments will be hidden from view.

But not only that, messages from accounts that spam replies or make too many repetitive mentions will also be hidden.

Accounts blocked by Twitter will be blocked for a maximum of seven days, which, seeing the configuration in this way, we believe we can modify.

A new function that we hope will arrive soon, especially for those users who are targeted by the filthy band of trolls that inhabit this social network and who do not stop making noise and harming people who think differently from them.

Greetings.
