Once the Safety Mode is turned on, Twitter's systems will
check the tweet content to assess the likelihood of a negative engagement and
the relationship between the author and replier.
Accounts frequently interacted with will not be
auto-blocked, the company said, as it takes existing relationships into
account.
Twitter has earlier taken several steps to address
harassment on its site, which often occurs in unsolicited replies targeting
women and minorities.
"We want people on Twitter to enjoy healthy conversations,
so we're limiting overwhelming and unwelcome interactions that can interrupt
those conversations," the company said.
Safety Mode can be turned on under settings and will be
available to a small feedback group on iOS, Android, and Twitter.com, beginning
with accounts that have English-language settings enabled, Twitter said.
Twitter also introduced Super Follows feature on its social
media platform on Wednesday, which would allow creators to generate monthly
revenue by sharing subscriber-only content with their followers.
People in the US and Canada using iOS can super follow a
select group of people within the United States, the company said, adding that
it would roll the feature out to people using iOS globally in the next few
weeks.
Creators can set a monthly subscription of $2.99 , $4.99 or $9.99 a month to monetise bonus, behind-the-scenes content for their most engaged followers through the feature, Twitter said. © Reuters
