Twitter overhauls process for reporting rule-breaking idiots

The new process for reporting policy violations is now widely available. It is designed to deal with everything from reports about misinformation to harassment. The redesign has been in testing since December of last year and is designed to make it easier to report bad behavior. It is now available in most countries on the internet.

The new process was outlined in a post on the company's website. The process used to ask which policy had been broken and then ask for more information. The new flow doesn't ask for details on what happened before asking about which rules were broken. The new process is similar to a doctor asking where does it hurt.

The early results have been positive. The new process has led to an increase in the number of actionable reports.

As Musk attempted to take over the platform, there was renewed scrutiny on the moderation policies. Under his ownership, Musk would want the company to take a more relaxed approach to moderation. It is not clear when or even if the acquisition will be completed with the CEO threatening to scrap it frequently.
