Twitter might soon add a new feature, which will put a limit on the times someone mentions you, thus, providing you with more control. Currently, mentioning anyone on Twitter is easy breezy but can hinder your privacy on the platform. Have a look at the details.
Reverse engineer Jane Manchun Wong has come across the new privacy control settings on Twitter, which will let you refrain people from mentioning you in tweets and replies. This feature can either block the mentions altogether or allow for mentions from a limited number of people.

As per The Verge, Twitter’s privacy designer Dominic Camozzi confirmed that they are working on Mention controls but later deleted the tweet about it. It remains to be seen if this is expected to become official anytime soon.
