TWITTER OPTS USERS INTO NEW CENSORSHIP ‘FILTER’: HERE’S HOW TO DISABLE IT
Social media platform's "Quality Filter" turned on for unsuspecting users.
Mikael Thalen - AUGUST 23, 2016
A new setting on Twitter designed to remove “offensive” content appears to have been enabled without the knowledge or consent of users.
Known as the “Quality Filter,” the feature aims to censor any tweet in a user’s notifications “that contain threats, offensive or abusive language, duplicate content, or are sent from suspicious accounts.”
Unbeknownst to many Twitter users, the feature, which has already been shown to censor legitimate content, was activated without any sort of approval requirement. Users who initially opted out of the feature last week also noted that it was re-enabled on Android after a Monday update to the Twitter application.
Those interested in disabling the filter can uncheck the “Quality Filter” option follow the video instructions below.
Just go to notifications, click settings and uncheck the Quality Filter. I just did it and they did have it on without my permission. So thanks twitter but I don't need any fucking leftists to keep me safe from anything!
