This is great for people who hate free speech

  Do you feel similarly about spam filters? I don’t think everyone needs the full spectrum of opinions being played at them 24/7, sometimes it’s nice just to use a platform like Twitter to converse with friends.

    That sounds very much like an echo chamber, you know.

      If someone wants to use Twitter to have purely technical/academic related discussions but gets attacked periodically by a few people strangely fascinated by the British royal family, I don’t think they need to justify wanting a little respite. Does that make it an echo chamber? Maybe depending on someone’s definition it does, but then I would argue an echo chamber isn’t always bad and can sometimes be good.
