Twitter Prepares ‘Safety Mode’ to Mute ‘Hateful’ Remarks, Censor Free Speech on Its Platform

Twitter revealed that it is preparing a new “Safety mode” to protect users from unwanted or offensive commentary, whatever that means.

Twitter gave the internet a hilarious but also grim glimpse into the platform’s future by revealing its upcoming “Safety mode.” The new function was previewed at the 2021 Analyst Day presentation with a few screenshots. Safety mode will “[a]utomatically block accounts that appear to break the Twitter Rules, and mute accounts that might be using insults, name-calling, strong language, or hateful remarks,” the presentation revealed in an image of the application in use on a cell phone.

Twitter is dying by a thousand self inflicted cuts.
