Twitter Enhances Reporting Platform for Doxxing IssuesByNitish Singh-March 8, 2019.124 The reporting user interface on Twitter has been modified to help users increase the number of doxxing posts. Any incidents concerning abuse or sharing of personal data will be given instant priority by the website. The move is intended to bring down on the site abusive behavior and abuse of knowledge. Even though Twitter has been aggressively attempting to deal with the platform’s threats by purging fake accounts and offensive material from the site, there are still ongoing service problems. Monitoring people for hate speech or impersonation can be boring, and action against abusive users takes a very long time. However changes to the reporting tool have been made to make it easier for support staff to manage problems. In evaluating published Tweets that share personal details we want to move faster. You’ll be able to tell us more about the Tweet you’re sharing starting today. Pic.twitter.com / quJ2jqlYit You only got to choose from a number of categories while posting tweets on Twitter and that was it. With the new update you can decide exactly what’s wrong with a tweet, so that you can take appropriate action. If you choose the option “It’s inappropriate or dangerous,” you can find a new checkbox named “Includes personal information” that lets you decide what sensitive information the user is sharing. You should define the specifics and note if your phone number / email address is associated with your home address / physical location, such as your Gps coordinates the details of your financial account or your government-issued ID / photo. If you pick any of the options, the issue will be automatically escalated leading to quicker resolution instead of waiting days for users to take some action. The updated reporting feature is just one of many updates seen on the website over the last few months. Twitter took back some time to promote healthy communications with the like feature and also allowed a “hide message” option to hide abusive or deceptive tweetsdecline in the number of reports of abuse but there are still a number of improvements that can be made.
