Twitter has announced that it will test a filter that will hide offensive or unwanted messages in your inbox.<\/p>\n
“Unwanted messages aren\u2019t fun. So we\u2019re testing a filter in your DM requests to keep those out of sight, out of mind,” the company tweeted<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Up until now, Twitter has offered a quality filter that, if enabled, sorts all new message requests into their own folder, and does not display “low-quality messages” at all unless you disable the quality filter.<\/p>\n Now, offensive DMs will still show, but the content will be hidden and replaced by: “This message is hidden because it may contain offensive content.”<\/p>\n This will allow users to choose whether to read a message if they recognise the user, or to ignore it.<\/p>\n Twitter has announced that it will test a filter that will hide offensive or unwanted messages in your inbox.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":341039,"featured_media":144773,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[60491,2808,405],"class_list":["post-316599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-software","tag-quality-filter","tag-social-media","tag-twitter"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316599"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/341039"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=316599"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316599\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":316611,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316599\/revisions\/316611"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/144773"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=316599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=316599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=316599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Now read: Facebook says users agreed to have their audio messages transcribed<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
