Twitter users no longer can send direct
messages to those people who don't follow
them.
The folks over at The Next Web and some
Twitter users have found that the check box
under user settings that allowed them to
receive direct messages from those they don't
follow has been removed. The change
essentially turns Twitter back to its old
functionality, which required that a direct-
message recipient be following the sender
for it to be successfully transmitted.
Twitter made waves last month after testing
out the feature . It was historically
unavailable for fear of certain popular users,
like celebrities, getting overrun with direct
messages and spam. According to Twitter,
the company was testing the feature.
