Twitter would now like its users to get specific when reporting tweets containing personal information.
In a tweeton Thursday, Twitter unveiled a new process for users when flagging tweets that contain details like a user’s home address, phone number, or email.
Tweet may have been deleted
Twitter walked its users through the process in a GIF. Upon discovering a tweet with their personal information, a user would tap “Report Tweet” as they would have previously done. After designating the post as “abusive or harmful” and including “private information,” the user will be presented with a list of options detailing the different types of information. Users will be able to check off as many of the options that apply.
The type of personal information Twitter specifically asks about includes: contact information (e.g, phone number, email address), home address or physical location (e.g, GPS coordinates), financial account information, a government-issued ID or ID number, and an “other” option.
Twitter has been rolling out several updates in order to improve overall health and safety on the site as of late.
Just this month, Twitter began testing a sort of moderation feature that allows users to hide certain repliesto their tweet. The company also said it would start publishing public case studies on certain high-profile accounts that get banned.
In February, the microblogging platform bannedthird-party tools that facilitated spammyactivity on its service. It also started to publicly mark tweetsthat violated its terms of service -- a sort of public shaming -- last year.
According to Twitter, this new reporting process will make it easier to flag tweets containing personal information. The company did not divulge whether the new process could result in expedited reviews or actions taken against certain accounts or tweets being reported.
