As a public social media platform, Twitter has faced criticism from users regarding issues of abuse and privacy. Over the years, Twitter has made adjustments and updates to address these issues, such as automatically hiding offensive replies with just one click, allowing users to limit who can reply to their Tweets, or hiding themselves from search results, and warning users about conversations veering off course, ...
Safety Mode feature is designed to proactively steer conversations in the right direction. This feature works by blocking accounts from replying to other users' posts with harmful language for 7 days or sending hostile replies, ...
When Safety Mode is activated, blocked accounts cannot follow the original Twitter account, view their Tweets and replies, or send Direct Messages.
Twitter's algorithms determine which accounts will be temporarily blocked by assessing the language used in replies and examining the relationship between the Tweet author and those replies. If the Tweet author follows or frequently interacts with the replier, then the account will not be locked.
The idea behind Safety Mode is to provide victims of harassment with a solution to quickly set up a defense system without having to manually block each harassing account, which can be tedious and may lead to frustration, prompting the need to create a new Twitter account.
Twitter states that initial testing results with 750 users indicate a desire for more assistance in proactively identifying when they will be targeted online. Therefore, the company is rolling out this feature to users in more countries along with notifications.
