TWITTER NOW LETS USERS RECEIVE DIRECT MESSAGES FROM EVERY FOLLOWER

It seems that finally, twitter is out to sort the awkward Direct Messages issue it had where someone had to follow you in order for you to send them Direct Messages (which kinda works great for me). Now it seems that's about to change as the fellows at the Verge have uncovered an option in the Settings tabs on their Twitter page that allows them to receive messages from other Twitter users even if they are not following those twitter users.

This image posted on The Verge shows this option,

 I have not seen such an option on their Desktop website or the mobile app, I don't really know why Twitter would make this change considering the amount of Spam DMs that circulating out there. What i would have loved to see would be an option of either filtering out Direct Messages based on a pre-defined words in the DM or one based on choosing followers to receive messages from.
