The Horrors Of Hidden Replies On Twitter

- Aamir Khollam

When was the last time your curiosity got the best of you and you ended up clicking the hidden replies tab on Twitter? It is truly one of the most disturbing sections on the internet only second to Reddit (Let's not open that can of worms for now) The microblogging platform is known to host some of the most vile speaking personalities that need to be censored. Twitter's response to hate speech and disturbing videos getting posted in the comment section of a tweet was the 'Hide Reply' feature which allowed the user to hide replies and diffuse the conversation simply. However, the hidden replies tab is posted right under a tweet which grabs the attention of curious users like me and at times ends up spoiling our day.
