      The new Twitter "quality filter" looks like an obvious pander to elite "power users" at the expense of regular users https://blog.twitter.com/2016/new-ways-to-control-your-experience-on-twitter …

      "Power users" of a certain disposition have long been demanding system-wide changes that redress their own peculiar complaints. They got it.

          Elite cadres already gesticulate for one another on Twitter at stultifying rates: now they'll be able to do so with even less interruption

          Begging for our benevolent, all-knowing tech overlords for protection from "abuse" is a disaster waiting to happen.

          "Abuse" is an ill-defined, highly fungible concept often appropriated for cynical purposes by malevolent actors. Thus the scare quotes.

          Entrusting the High Priests of Tech to unilaterally define what "abuse" means by way of hazy, secret algorithms = what could go wrong?

          Read the post; it's vague, looks ostensibly aimed at diminishing spam, but in all likelihood goes well beyond that.

          Twitter was designed to be used amongst a circle of friends who generally like one another but became a political jungle. So be it.

          The recognition that Twitter is a telephone and not a megaphone chafes at the ego of the Pundit Class.
