Twitter Adds "Report Dox" Option

AmiMoJo writes Twitter announced that its abuse-report system, which was recently refined to simplify and shorten the reporting process, has now expanded to allow users to report content such as self-harm incidents and "the sharing of private and confidential information" (aka doxing). The announcement, posted by Twitter Vice President of User Services Tina Bhatnagar, explained that December's report-process update was met with a "tripling" of the site's abuse support staff, which has led to a quintupling of abuse report processing. Chat logs recently revealed how Twitter is used by small groups to create vast harassment campaigns, thanks to sock puppet account and relative anonymity.

    Ladies and gentlemen, what we have here is the "here's your conclusion, now go convince yourself" branch of logic. It is very popular within the "SJW" Internet cult, but also with reactionary wingnuts, neofascists, and religious sects.

    Video games were the last world that these basement dwellers could rule. Then girls started playing and upsetting their little kingdoms.
