Twitter Introduces an 'I Can't Hear You' Button

Twitter has launched a new feature that gives people the power to silence fellow tweeters without having to unfollow them. The feature is designed to give users more control over what pops up in their daily feeds. If someone mutes a follower, the muted user's tweets and retweets won't show up in the muter's feed, and notifications about that user's activity will not appear. The muted user would still be able to retweet, reply to or favorite the muter's Twitter activity, but none of that would appear in the muter's time line.
