Twitter on the web can let you take out unwanted followers

All Twitter users on the web can now take out followers they don't want following them. The feature was first being tested out last month, but it's now accessible to all users. This is part of Twitter's efforts to help reduce harassment on its platform. Blocking someone might incite retaliation, but cutting them out without them knowing might be easier for you.

Of course, this won't keep them from seeing your public tweets. If you want to use this feature, head to your Followers tab on your profile. Click on the three-dot menu next to the user in question and select the "Remove this follower" option.

Universal Studios Japan will get a Pokémon theme park

The Pokémon Company

If there's one place we'd want to visit in the coming years, it'll be this new theme park Universal Studios Japan and The Pokémon Company are developing. The two companies are joining forces to create a Pokémon theme park at USJ. The two will begin work on the "revolutionary" theme park next year. Details are scarce on what to expect, but Tsunekazu Ishihara, president and CEO of The Pokémon Company, said the attraction will feature "world-class theme park technology."

"The globally popular Pokémon characters combined with Universal's innovative approach to creating authentic and one-of-a-kind theme park entertainment promise excitement for the entire family," Universal Studios Japan's president and CEO J.L. Bonnier said. "Our efforts to develop new guest experiences will continue to help reinvigorate the tourism market."

Google rumoured to bundle Pixel 6 in Pixel Pass subscription service

Google

If this leak from M. Brandon Lee is accurate, Google might be exploring offering a subscription package of its own. But it won't just be for its services. The rumour says Google might be bundling in its upcoming Pixel 6, too. The package will reportedly include Google One, Play Pass, Google Fi, YouTube Premium, and an extended warranty. It does seem like the Apple One subscription bundle, but that offer is just for Apple's digital services.

The Pixel Pass will reportedly offer regular upgrades to subscribers, but it isn't clear how frequent the upgrades will be. Ideally, they will provide a new phone every time they release a new device. Potential subscribers need to apply for the plan before being allowed to subscribe. But it will offer a way to cut down costs by trading in old phones. We aren't sure how true this rumour is, but it would make it compelling to get a Pixel device through this option. Perhaps we'll learn more during the October 19 event.
