Twitter began testing a new Safety Mode option last week with a “small feedback group” of English-language users on Android, iOS and the web.
Safety Mode temporarily blocks accounts for seven days for using potentially harmful language—such as insults or hateful remarks—or sending repetitive and uninvited replies or mentions.
When a Twitter user turns Safety Mode on in their settings, the social network’s systems will determine the likelihood of a negative engagement by analyzing the content of the tweet and the relationship between the author and replier.
Existing relationships are factored in so that accounts people follow and interact with frequently will not be automatically blocked.
When someone is auto-blocked, they will be unable to follow the affected user’s account, see their tweets or send them direct messages.
