Unfortunately, the filter isn't available for everyday users (at least, not at this stage) -- and that's a problem when Twitter is determined to both attract new users and keep existing ones from bailing due to everything from threats to a simple lack of conversation. Don't you deserve a quick way to keep harassment out of your feed? However, the move could still help you out even if you're not a celebrity, business magnate or journalist. A simple quality toggle will hopefully encourage these people to answer your questions and otherwise speak up when they'd otherwise be afraid of a backlash.
