Twitter, announcing a much-anticipated feature, has said the new 'Edit' button will let users edit their tweets up to five times within a 30-minute period after posting.
Twitter told TechCrunch that in observing user behaviour,
the current edit limit might be changed later. The new feature is expected to
be first available to Twitter Blue subscribers but won't be rolled out to all
paid users initially.
The company confirmed that New Zealand subscribers will get
the feature first, then Twitter Blue users in Australia, Canada and US. The
social media site wants to learn usage patterns first before rolling out the
feature to the latter three countries.
The Edit button feature has raised concerns that it may
increase the spread of political misinformation and crypto scams.
However, the downsides to the feature will only be apparent
once it's available to everyone and is being used on a regular basis.
Twitter has been scrutinised in the past months for its
security practices, spam-account-catching methods, and Child sexual abuse
material (CSAM) detection.
