Twitter is considering to make tweets more ephemeral
- floatingatoll 7y agoI love that they’re finally considering this, but they’re missing a key insight: Search enables harassment. With Twitter’s unrestricted search, it’s easy to find strangers talking about any topic and harass them about it - directly on Twitter, or indirectly on whateverchan. Restricting search to mutual friend networks would vastly reduce the ability of strangers to harass others on Twitter, and in conjunction with tighter ephemerality defaults, would remove the most common vector of attack used today.
