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.

AI and data sovereignty set to lead business innovations in 2025

As businesses embrace cutting-edge tech, challenges like data sovereignty and AI are taking centre stage.

Over the past six months, the AI industry has seen significant advancements, with competing models such as Meta’s Luma and Google’s Gemini entering the market.

However, these developments come with a reality check. Building large language models (LLMs) requires substantial computing power and time, making immediate returns on investment unlikely.

One promising innovation is agentic AI, a step beyond generative AI, which enables proactive, automated solutions.

For instance, this technology could stabilise IT systems autonomously, diagnosing and resolving issues without human intervention.

Data sovereignty has also emerged as a key focus, with increasing emphasis on keeping data within national borders to comply with local laws. This has driven the adoption of sovereign clouds and private data centres, ensuring secure and localised data processing for AI development.

Deepak Ajmani, Vice President of ANZ & APAC Emerging Markets at Confluent, joins to discuss the evolving business landscape.
