News Synopsis

The social networking platform, Twitter is testing a new feature, that will allow users to send a direct message from a tweet. The company says that the feature will make it easier to start a conversation from a user’s timeline, but it did now go well with all users. 

Some users feel the new tool will make them more susceptible to online harassment. The platform however has said that it is making it easier to reply directly to a Tweet’s author and make it easier to start a conversation. 

Twitter users are somehow not so pleased with the new feature as it can lead to unsolicited DMs. Many users are asking to not introduce this feature and many are asking for an option to not allow this on their particular accounts.

Twitter has claimed that the new feature will not change the current setting of anyone’s DMs. It said that users will still have the ability to close their DMs in their settings.
