Crypto Commentator Points Out Flaw in Twitters Safety Mode

Stripe, a global payment technology for businesses and marketplaces, has partnered with Twitter to launch the system of global crypto payouts on Thursday. Initially, Stripe would enable Twitter to pay a selected community of content creators with USD coins (USDC), Circle’s dollar-pegged stablecoin. Since 2010, Stripe has been helping many online businesses by facilitating programmable money payouts through its Global Payments and Treasury Network (GPTN). Now, Stripe provides assistance to its partnered platforms in converting their fiat into crypto payouts. Karan Sharma, Product Manager at Stripe wrote on blog: “While the ‘store of value’ aspects of cryptocurrencies typically receive the most attention, we view the prospect of ‘open-access global financial rails’ as being at least equally compelling. As a result, we’ve been exploring ways to use cryptocurrency-based platforms to unlock broader access.“ Multiple Payments Options For Recipients Since Polygon,a Layer 2 Ethereum-based blockchain, does faster transactions at low costs and possesses “broad wallet compatibility”,Stripe Connect chose to use it to initiate the crypto payouts. The creators can earn their crypto payouts from Twitter’s Ticketed Spaces and Super Follows via Connect, Stripe’s payment platform. Creators will have to sign up and pass through the Stripe’s Know Your Customer (KYC) onboarding checks and manage their accounts on Connect. They can also track the payouts into their crypto wallets via Stripe Express App. Users can either hold the earned cryptos or exchange it into another currency via Ethereum. Recently in early April, Le Monde chose Stripe as a platform to support its digital subscriptions amidst its global users. Back in March, FTX partnered with Stripe to enable its users to purchase crypto with debit cards and Automated Clearing House (ACH) directly from the bank. Editors News
  • Safety Mode is an autoblock function that the team has been testing for a long time. 
  • The accounts one follows or communicates with won’t be automatically banned.

Safety Mode, which was first offered in September to a limited number of testers, is now available to a much larger audience in English-speaking regions such as the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. For its part, Twitter is always looking for ways to improve the quality of its user conversations. To achieve the same goal, it has implemented several modifications and revisions. Safety Mode is the platform’s most recent effort to protect its users.

Safety Mode is an autoblock function on Twitter that the team has been testing for a long time. Using this mode, one may keep out accounts that might be considered abusive or spam and prevent them from engaging in any of one’s chats. This setting will shield one from unwanted tweets, which may be aggravating at times. There is no need to ban spam accounts manually when this option is active. The automatic ban will remain for seven days and is implemented by Twitter.

Autoblock Function Gone Wrong

Only a small percentage of Twitter users whose accounts are set to English-language settings may use Safety Mode on iOS, Android, and the Twitter website. In Twitter’s Safety Mode, abusive language, such as insults, harsh comments, or unwanted responses, is immediately blocked for a short period.

A Tweet’s content and the relationship between its sender and its recipient are taken into account when this setting is enabled in your Twitter account’s settings. The accounts one follows or communicates with won’t be automatically banned since the system considers existing connections.
