It’s even over a month now since Twitter revealed its new Safety Mode. Harassment and abuse is always directed to the company on its social networking platform.
In the companies announcement, however, they failed to shed more light on the new feature, or even including some of the ways the new Safety Mode will help avert harassment.
So how will this new mode help combat harassment? Let’s find out together in this article.
What Is Safety Mode About?
Announced in Twitter’s February 2021 Analyst Day presentation, alongside other upcoming Twitter features such as Super Follow and Communities, Safety Mode seeks to improve user safety on the platform by hiding potentially harmful content.
How Will Twitter’s New Safety Mode Help Prevent Harassment?
Seen in the slides in the Analyst Day presentation, this feature will “automatically block accounts that appear to break Twitter Rules, and mute accounts that might be using insults, name-calling, strong language, or hateful remarks”.
The momentyou activate this feature, Twitter will automatically detect “might be acting abusive or spammy”, and “limit the ability of those accounts to engage with you for seven days”.
While Twitter did not release a date for when it plans to roll out Safety Mode, it seems to be its next attempt at curtailing abusive or hateful behavior on its platform.
