Reduces the need for private accounts
According to Bell, Twitter claims this new feature is being introduced to prevent tweets from being overwhelmed by swarms of replies or hijacked by trolls, and will hopefully reduce the number of users who feel they should make their account private. to avoid such unwanted interactions. Twitter currently does not have options that allow users to control who responds to their individual tweets. Instead, users can set their account to private, which limits who can reply to their tweets to those who follow them, and subscriber requests are something you can accept or decline. Twitter hasn't officially announced the launch of this feature, but it's certainly good news.- Discover all the CES 2020 covers from LaComparacion.
