As part of a new experiment, the company will recommend external moderation apps, as an added measure that users can use in addition to pre-existing tools built into Twitter.

With this update, Twitter will recommend several side apps, when a user wants to block or silence another person. For now, the Block Party app has been added – a tool that allows users to automatically block accounts that have the potential to be a source of harassment. There’s also Bodyguard, which automatically edits responses, as well as Moderate, which edits @mentions.
