2/ I'm nowhere near Katie's level of followers. But, at 15k, it's enough that I get trolled semi-regularly, so it's something I want. (To say nothing of the attention misspent on *seeing* conflicts / trolls on twitter.)

5/ Admittedly, it *is* a very hard problem. But, I've never felt the precision-recall tradeoff on a more visceral and personal level.

I applied for a Twitter dev account yesterday, and the use case I cited was essentially this. I have preemptively blocked large numbers of people via following the graphs of abusive people who also tweet out lists of fellow abusers to follow. Very handy, but very tiring.

Odds are I won't have time to do it myself. But maybe I can start or contribute to an open source effort.
