In a major move, the company may be looking at ways to allow users to participate in combatting abusive/offensive content. Leaker Mukul Sharma says the micro-blogging giant is developing a feature that urges users to review replies that may contain offensive/abusive language. There will be an edit button that will allow users to remove such content. Of course, this does not mean every user will be allowed free reign over the Twitterverse, and able to review and delete/edit content at will. Instead, the actions will be available for replies to tweets. In other words, users will become moderators of the reply chains that follow their tweets. This feature is not available yet, but it is currently being tested.
