And on January 21, 2022, reverse engineering expert Alessandro Paluzzi discovered that the 'trusted friends' feature being developed by Twitter was renamed to 'Flock.' In addition, according to Mr. Paluzzi's report, it was newly found that up to 150 people can be registered in 'Flock', and even if you cancel the registration, the other party will not be notified. 'Flock' is a term that refers to a group of people or a herd of animals.

In September 2021, Twitter also announced 'Communities,' which allows you to send tweets to specific users who have a common interest rather than all of your followers. This function is also a function with the control of tweets in mind, similar to 'Flock'.

You can, 'he said, emphasizing that Flock is a tentative name and is subject to change in the future.
