"The tech company said Wednesday it was releasing a feature that automatically detects "mean" replies on its service and prompts people to review the replies before sending them.
"Want to review this before Tweeting?" the prompt asks in a sample provided by the San Francisco-based company.
Twitter users will have three options in response: tweet as is, edit or delete.
In tests, Twitter found that if prompted, 34% of people revised their initial reply or did not reply at all. After being prompted once, people composed on average 11% fewer offensive replies in the future, according to the company."
edit: you know what, i'll hope for the best with this. good points brought up in this thread. still prefer real moderation instead of automated but i digress
I WILL SUBMIT MY POSTS EVEN FASTER UPON A “REVIEW”
