Twitter Try Out Online Medium Marker Feature

Twitter Product Management Director Sara Haider said the social networking application continues to update. This is done so that the platform is more widely used for conversation.

Sara Haider's upload on her account was even retweeted by the owner aka CEO Jack Dorsey, quoted from the Phone Arena page, Monday (3/9). Sara displays two new features that are being tested before being actually used by citizens.

The first feature relates to replies on Twitter reviews. In the uploaded screenshot, the reply in a Twitter review is marked with a column that is more protruding to the right than the reply that was answered.

The second feature that is being tested Twitter is an indicator that the account is currently online, in the form of a green dot in the user's profile photo. But, some users object to this indicator because of privacy and abuse.

Some users want this indicator to be optional, while others, who feel they are being targeted by other users, think this green indicator will make them attacked while online.

Previously Twitter announced it would start cleaning their services from accounts that tried to avoid blocking. Reporting from the Techcrunch page on Wednesday (15/8), Twitter said that the account in question was a user who had previously been suspended due to harsh words or tried to run away from a previous blocking.

The perpetrators or creators of this fake account seem to have been able to overcome Twitter's attempt to delete it by setting up another account. The company said a new wave of suspension would reach this week, and would continue in the coming week.

Twitter recently focused on aggressively suspending accounts, as part of an effort to stem the flow of disinformation, bots, and abuse of its services. The Washington Post, for example, last July called Twitter suspended as many as 70 million accounts between May and June, and continued in July at the same speed.

As a result, Twitter users continue to shrink. Twitter CFO Ned Segal immediately denied the report. He said the deletion of these accounts did not affect company user metrics

This year's Twitter user base continues to shrink. The company has lost one million monthly active users in the second quarter, with 335 million users in total and 68 million in the US.
