Twitter studies to implement a method of 'clarification' for the old tweets | Innovation

Twitter plans to introduce a new feature in its platform that allows users to perform a "clarification" of old tweets in order to add context to the publication, as has been assured by the CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey. At an event held on Thursday in San Francisco (United States), the CEO of the company said that from Twitter is analyzing the phenomenon of personalities affected or "canceled by things that have said on Twitter or other social networks in the past ", as Recode has collected.

According to Dorsey, "there is no credible way to go back and clarify or even have a conversation to show learning and transition since then."

As an alternative measure, Dorsey says that Twitter is studying ways to allow users to add a "clarification" to old or recent tweets, something that has been expressed in "show the original tweet - like a retweet or a retweeted comment. "

Dorsey has raised a way that clarification is more related to the publication, so that the original publication can not be retweeted but only the clarification, "so that it is always accompanied by that context".

The CEO of Twitter has ensured that this function aims to "add some context and color to what users have tweeted or what they wanted to say", although for the moment it is a function that is only being studied.
