Twitter confirmed earlier this year that it was testing a new feature that would let users hide replies in a case where the conversation has gone toxic. Well, according to popular software unpacker, Jane Manchun Wong, Twitter has now started testing the hidden replies feature in Canada.

This feature will come in handy for people who want to moderate the conversations they have on Twitter. This will make sure that people think twice when posting a hurtful tweet, since one can easily hide a tweet. Having said that, this can also be used by people to silence the opinion of others, so it will be interesting to see how Twitter counters that.
