What is ReportIt?
Introducing the Twitter Violation Reports Assistant, a robust Chrome extension designed to streamline the process of reporting violations on Twitter. This tool offers users a one-click solution for making reports, maximizing efficiency and ensuring that social media platforms remain safe and respectful spaces. With features that simplify reporting and follow-up processes, this assistant is a must-have for anyone looking to combat misinformation, hate speech, and harmful content on Twitter.
What are the features of ReportIt?
The Twitter Violation Reports Assistant comes packed with several innovative features that significantly enhance the reporting workflow:
One-Click ToS Reports
The extension integrates seamlessly with the Twitter interface, injecting a new Terms of Service (ToS) report button into every tweet. This one-click functionality allows users to report violations instantly, eliminating unnecessary clicks and making the reporting process straightforward.
Automated Reporting
Say goodbye to the tedious average of 35 seconds it takes to complete a reporting form. The extension automatically fills in Twitter's reporting forms, slashing reporting time to just 2 seconds per report. This automation means you can report harmful content swiftly, ensuring that problematic tweets get the attention they deserve without delay.
Report Follow-Up
Once a tweet is reported, the extension activates an automated follow-up process with Twitter. Users receive updates via private DM from @sane_social regarding the fate of the reported tweet. This feature keeps you informed every step of the way, whether the tweet is removed, or the user suspended, or the account permanently deleted.
Violation Evidence Collection
Evidence is crucial when reporting violations. The Twitter Violation Reports Assistant automatically collects digital evidence on each violation reported. If a tweet is removed, users receive all relevant evidence, including a screenshot of the removed tweet, discreetly via direct message. This ensures you have the necessary documentation to support your reports.
Alert Friends Feature
Social media harassment often involves entire communities being targeted. The extension allows users to quickly alert their friends to join in reporting the same violating content. Statistics reveal that multiple reports on the same tweet lead to quicker action from Twitter, making this a powerful tool in collective reporting efforts.
