sure it can. the higher the effort the better. they should remove retweets too. i cant remember how many people i have unfollowed because they keep retweeting their political nonsense.

(in fact they should remove retweets and keep likes for the vanity crowd, as long as those are not interfering with my timeline whatsoever)

You can hide retweets of a specific user by pressing the "Turn off Rewteets" button in the dropdown menu.

I prefer individual control over central control. Maybe they should make the "Turn off Rewteets" feature more visible.
