Twitter users who have been longing for the site to add an edit button may soon get their wish, according to CEO Jack Dorsey. After a question and answer session with Twitter users that was designed to find out more about how the site could improve in 2017, it seems as if the edit button will soon be on its way.

While some users have advocated for the ability to edit their tweets at any time, others believe that a shortened time window will work best. Other users proposed a change log that allows other users to see previous iterations of the tweet, in order to avoid any sort of unnecessary chicanery.

Dorsey believes that these changes should be implemented, due to the fact that Twitter often serves as a form of public record on a variety of key issues. Now that the tweets of important public figures, (i.e. president elect Donald Trump) are quoted by reputable news outlets, proper implementation of these edit policies takes on added importance.

There is also a sense that Twitter needs to compete with other popular social media hubs that allow their users to edit the content that they post at any time, including Facebook and Instagram.

Twitter has yet to provide any further comment on the topic and Dorsey was also asked about implementing policies that allowed users to remove trolls more easily, in addition to bot accounts that produce spam.
