        Randi Harper has done her fair share to fan that Twitter trash fire. Her online behavior has been very abusive in the past.

        but why do you think being called racist is worse than actually being racist? why are white supremacists and their sympathizers such snowflakes? toughen up, buttercup. i'll say it again: all white people are racist. https://twitter.com/amicusets/status/949630844989296640 …

        She wants protected accounts to also hide any tweet that mentions them. That would allow people to hide criticism. Only one of many stupid ideas in her rant. Do better analysis @sapinker before spreading this nonsense.

        Several of these have been implemented. Go to your Settings, and click "Muted Words" to mute tweets containing any word, not just a hashtag. (By the way, hashtags do nothing special.)
