Users urged to ‘look out for each other’ and ‘remember the human’ as platform tries to limit abuse
Twitter users poised to dive into a heated online debate will be warned they are about to enter an “intense” conversation, under a safety trial.
The social media platform is testing a feature that drops a notice under a potentially contentious exchange, stating: “Heads up. Conversations like this can be intense.” Another prompt, which appears to be aimed at people making a reply, goes to greater lengths to calm down users and urges the tweeter to “look out for each other”, “remember the human” and note that “diverse perspectives have value”.
