Twitter has created "Twitter timeout" — or what I like to call "Twitter jail" — in which the reach of a user's tweets is limited for a 12-hour period if that user is flagged for harassment.*

The feature, first reported by BuzzFeed, began rolling out earlier this month but is just starting to cause quite the commotion in the Twitter-verse, inciting theories that the move is directly tied to tweets against President Donald Trump and the administration.*

It seems Twitter is essentially locking people’s accounts for 12 hour periods if they quote or @ a verified user and swear or insult.
