You’ll soon be able to remove yourself from that tweet thread that went off the rails

Social media giant Twitter says it is currently working on a new feature that will allow its users to un-mention themselves from a tweet.

There have long been calls to implement the feature as online cyber bullying rates continue to rise.

The bad news is, the new feature is limited to some users and only on the web version for now but looks like a very useful way to clean up your mentions.

The un-mentioning feature is not the only latest button currently in the works at Twitter

For some time, many users on Twitter have requested the social media giant add a button that allows tweets to be edited after they are posted.

Twitter says it is testing the new feature within its “Twitter Blue Labs” programme, to “learn what works, what doesn’t and what is possible”

Either a coincidence or simply a reality, Elon Musk, who recently acquired a majority stake in Twitter, recently asked his followers if they would like to see an edit button feature on the platform.

Not surprisingly, pretty much everyone was in favour of the feature, which is hoped will be able to provide users with the ability to edit their tweets after they click publish.

While the fate of TikTok remains uncertain in the U.S.—there is no shortage of possibilities.

Several investors are hoping to benefit from a new federal law that requires TikTok’s China-based parent company to sell the popular platform or face a ban.

This comes after ByteDance and TikTok filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government to block the law from going into effect.

Meanwhile, eight TikTok creators filed their own challenge, arguing the law violates their First Amendment rights to free speech.

But as the saga continues many media outlets are defending the platform.
