This way, people would be able to protect themselves from ‘toxic’ tweets without burdening others who want to learn and debate in an unencumbered manner.
Fwiw, there are tons of tweets that are genuinely toxic on Twitter—personal attacks, threats, and so on—that Twitter in my view currently does too little rather than too much about. Twitter may sometimes be too strict but the opposite issue is very much a problem as well. And I think that that view shouldn’t be called “pro-censorship”, which seems to me an unnecessarily value-laden term.
