Are you about to post a tweet containing “harmful” language? Don’t worry — Twitter is experimenting with a feature that will warn you ahead of time, so you don’t accidentally infect any users with your wrongthink.
“When things get heated, you may say things you don’t mean,” wrote Twitter’s official support account in a tweet yesterday.
“To let you rethink a reply, we’re running a limited experiment on iOS with a prompt that gives you the option to revise your reply before it’s published if it uses language that could be harmful.”
It’s a bit like “precrime” in the 2002 Tom Cruise film Minority Report. Twitter will notice when you’re about to use a bad word, giving you the chance to avoid a rule violation and save your account from the digital gulag.

Their site, their controls, your choice. Guess reverting to pen and paper is out of the question? :-)

I uninstalled Twitter. It was bad for my blood pressure and mental well being.
To: rktman
Well, rktman, you obviously ignored jimrob’s pre-post thought warning popup and posted this! ;^)

Neither have I.....however they're saying it's about “giving posters the chance to avoid a rule violation and save their account from the digital gulag”....which is nonsense. It's actually controlling free speech.

That these guys (and facebook and google and youtube...) still get to claim they are not making editorial decisions - and reap the legal protections of being a 'platform' - is unreal to me.
They are literally censoring materials for having the 'wrong' opinion. If that's not editorial publishing I just don't know what is.

How about adding a question, “Are you sure you want to post this?”
