Twitter admits editing offensive Trending Topics, plans more

This is major news from Twitter.
Probably they have not already begun removing “clearly offensive” trends because they are harder to identify than those with obscenities. After all, you can make a list of obscenities that are not allowed, but it’s harder to list topics, because topics can be presented from different perspectives (for/against/nuetral) and wordings can vary.
Dick’s choice of words is interesting too: “I’d like to see…” He doesn’t elaborate whether this means Twitter plans to, or why what he’d like to see hasn’t begun happening. Twitter could also allow users to choose to filter trending topics, as opposed to outright censorship, although this would mean a change to their infrastructure.
