Definitely important to point out that any automated system will be abused against the most vulnerable.

Assume that both good people and shitty people are pushing that abuse button.

Something I'd like to see is resolved reports tagged with an ID # corresponding to whoever resolved it.

So patterns of shitty resolutions (like breastfeeding photos getting taken down, same sex kissing taken down) are publicly identifiable

I'm tweeting & retweeting because this is something I don't have a settled opinion on (lol a very rare occurrence). It's a hard problem.

Social media are private platforms but they increasingly serve the function of public fora.

You want to keep speech relatively unfettered, but abuse of women, racial minorities, sexual minorities, and other vulnerable groups = real.

There's an urge to create systems to protect "civil rights" in these spaces, but those systems have so far been utterly godawful.

I don't know where things should go from here, but it would be nice to hear what other people think they want.

Another thing that I think is terrible is that sometimes the spam block works better than the regular block. Have they fixed this?

Like occasionally the regular block can be buggy and won't actually block things. I replicated this issue once, anyone else experience it?

The regular block / spam block issue drives me nuts because the idea that spam gets treated more seriously than harassment is just

2+ months to get a stalker banned, they're back in 5 minutes @sarahjeong

.@FakeRobotGamer that seems super hard to address! My intuition is that the way to do it would be to temp-ban IPs, which is problematic

@sarahjeong @FakeRobotGamer like get the IP address from twitter, connect to an account thru ISP, then...restraining order? Arrest?

@Burghpunk @FakeRobotGamer that would be a totally abused process.
