Yes, assuming Twitter is the only place one visits on the Internet or in the media.
This tool basically says: block the millions of people who Follow [insert arsehole’s account here] on the reasonable assumption that the vast majority of them are fans and are therefore not worth hearing from on the platform. People or orgs you’re already following aren’t caught up in the bulk block, and you can whitelist other ones that you feel are trustworthy later on.
So, let’s say I Follow a reporter at the NYT, who has to follow Tucker Carlson’s account for his job covering the media. I use this extension to wipe out anyone who Follows Carlson: the media reporter’s account remains unblocked, but 2.3-million other accounts are blocked (Dolt-45’s will block 55-million).
Now most of those accounts belong to people whose opinions I don’t need to hear on Twitter, but of course there are others like the SPLC, which is probably monitoring Carlson for his white supremacist views. Assume I never heard about the SPLC but come across it in a news article or somewhere else (since Twitter isn’t my only source of information) – I can go into the extension and unblock the org’s account.
