Twitter to let you send Direct Message straight from a tweet

Twitter is testing a new feature that lets people send direct messages (DMs) directly from tweets, but it’s not going well for users who feel the new tool will make them more vulnerable to online harassment.

Twitter believes the feature will make it easier to start conversations from your timeline.

“Because when you want to reply directly to the author of a tweet, we’ve made it easier for them to DM them from your timeline to start a conversation,” the microblogging platform said.

“Testing the DM icon on Tweets on iOS with some of you now,” it added.

However, the test has alarmed civil servants and public safety experts.

According to New York City Public Defender Eliza Orlins, giving your DM a shortcut could make users more vulnerable to harassment.

“Please don’t do this. The extra step of having to go to someone’s profile to send a DM reduces harassment,” she responded on Twitter.

When people send unsolicited DMs, it has little to do with “starting a conversation.”

“At least give us a safety feature that doesn’t allow this to happen to our tweets,” she added.

According to Twitter, the experiment will not change the current settings of anyone’s DMs.

“We’re always exploring ways to make DMs more accessible and valuable to people on Twitter, and they’ll always be in control: Anyone can turn off their DMs in their settings,” a Twitter spokesperson told The Verge .

Tom signs Nolan’s next

This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.

Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).

Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.

Tom’s busy schedule

Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.

As Tom’s girlfriend and co-star Zendaya will be busy filming Spider-Man 4 in 2025, she’ll reprise her role of Chani in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi spectacle Dune 3 only in 2026. Meanwhile, Tom is also likely to make an appearance as Spider-Man in Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Doomsday, which will go on floors in the spring of 2025.
