Russian state propagandists are going to love this feature. Right know they're constantly fact checked and called out on their hypocrisy in the replies but soon they'll be able to peddle their "death to Navalny/Ukraine/Europe/America/homosexuals" rhetoric unchecked.

- entropea 7y agoI don't see a single person in the top comments speak about this. This feature is going to allow people to hide legitimate non-trash responses that criticize the tweet, and it will be very convenient going into the 2020 elections. Dissenting voices WILL be silenced.
- linuxftw 7y agoPolitics about any specific country or group aside, this would be a win for Twitter. Extra engagement from both sides. People who write crazy things return to moderate comments. People that comment write more comments because old comments are hidden. After comments are hidden, someone will probably start their own tweet about how that other tweet is full of garbage. It's just more gasoline for twitter's business model: Drive engagement through flamewars.
