Oh cool so they made a feature that will help journalists with trash takes who are getting ratioed.

*But still didn’t fix the child porn problem.

Looks like some shit for losers & kindergardaners. Do not add any new features unless theyre good or they put 1000usd directly in my pocket. pic.twitter.com/7mS9B07BJi

This is welcomed, would be so much better if you would remove all those accounts faster. https://t.co/ayZqYpWEbk

We’ll be testing Safety Mode with a small group of people on Twitter in the coming months and expanding the pool of beta testers, as we receive feedback. Stay tuned for more updates and head to our blog to learn more about Safety Mode.https://t.co/ul8gsDMVIg

What about taking away the ability of locked/private accounts to QT accounts that are not following the locked account? It would be a much more practical and popular feature https://t.co/UyIP3oAGxM

Finally. I have trolls that quote tweet me even though they're mutually blocked. ??‍♂️ Hopefully this will stop their pathological nonsense. Thanks, @TwitterSupport! https://t.co/0CudaYZZqm

So instead of banning these people when you report them, they are initiating a 'safety mode' auto-block feature that nobody will use because it will probably also auto-block friends making jokes in your comments. Cool. https://t.co/8rnDGi7EPX
