Twitter developers have added the ability to mark "delicate" tweets



Manual Twitter announced the introduction of a new feature that allows users to mark "sensitive" tweets. Here we are talking not only about messages with obscene language, but also about those messages that, for example, may seem to your boss not related to the working environment (tweets with nudity, cats, etc.). Those. before clicking on a similar post, the user will be notified that its content is “delicate”, so to speak.

This new feature is not yet available, but the Twitter team has already informed the developers that all this is already in the test phase. One of the representatives of Twitter said that in the future it is planned to add several API methods to solve the problem of "sensitive" content.

Some developers and ordinary users immediately had a question about censoring the contents of the tweet service stream, but the administration denies the possibility of entering censorship. However, according to one of the documents regarding Twitter’s policy regarding published content, the company will still remove some types of media that will be classified as violence, nudity or medical procedures (whatever that means).

In general, regarding the censorship and removal of content, so far the words of the company's representatives differ from what is published as rules. Perhaps the administration does not consider the removal of “nudity” and “violence” as censorship, who knows. In any case, users will soon have the opportunity to know in advance what is “at the other end” of the link. And in some cases it is really very useful.
