In this case, they are changes in the direct messages of the account, which will hide some messages if it is detected or intuited that said content is offensive or inappropriate.

New measures

They are also changes with which the social network expects users to receive or see fewer unwanted messages. So those offensive messages or that we simply do not want to see, will not be able to be seen in the inbox. This is a current issue on many accounts, which they hope to end or make less of an annoyance like this.

Twitter has been working on all kinds of measures for many months, with mixed results so far. Although the social network manages to close many accounts of trolls, not all the measures they have taken have been really effective so far.

Therefore, we will have to wait to see if this new measure gives the expected results for the social network. It is starting to launch now, so that all users of the application will be able to enjoy it soon and have fewer problems with this matter.
