Twitter to test a new filter for spam and abuse in the Direct Message inbox

Twitter to test a new filter for spam and abuse in the Direct Message inbox

Twitter is testing a new way to filter unwanted messages from your Direct Message inbox.

This new experiment will test a filter that will move unwanted messages, including those with offensive content or spam, to a separate tab.
