Great job! Is it possible to set what text will be shown instead of original tweets? I mean how to change: "This text is about US election 2016" to something else.
@michalhudecek sadly, it is not available right now :( But we will think what we can do about it!

Awesome idea -- why not put in a random fact instead of something about the election? Would play right into what made twitter great in the first place....
@willortel thanks! I am afraid that it would cause a little misunderstanding. For example, I don't think that you would like to read how Hillary Clinton writes facts about dolphins :)

@idarbek Haha -- oh yeah, could definitely see that popping up :) great work in any case!
@anthony_stylianou it replaces the content of the tweet with warning message that this tweet contains information about election. As we use machine learning approach for this task, there are can be possible errors. That is why you can always view the content of the hidden tweet by just clicking on it.
It's great to see other products that put people first and in control of their experience online. I believe this is a trend that we will continue to see unfold going forward. I hope that Twitter continues to allow developers to build products like this, although I can also see them removing API access if it significantly limits their impressions, reach, or engagement. Great work!
@torbahax thank you lot! We are really glad that you liked it! Also, don't worry, we don't use twitter API at this point. We used it before for training our algorithm, but now it is independent of their API.

This appeals because I'm one of the millions often assumed to be in the U.S just because I speak English, but ignorance of politics enables those ruling over you to get away with even more.
@ianmayman thank you! Yes, politics should not be totally ignored and we don't discourage people to vote. But sometimes politics appear where you didn't expect them to be and it just really annoys most of the people. What we wanted to do is to give people an option to hide it and make their experience in twitter better.

I love twitter but the election rants are too much, get out and vote but don't use 140 character rants to make up your mind.
@love2golf totally agree! Most of the tweets about politics are not informative at all and don't help in making decision. That is why we created this extension :)
