Thanks Josh! We have two mechanisms to try and mitigate false alerts: (1) accountability via Facebook login. The poster's name and face is associated with every post to Wildfire, which helps reduce anonymous trolling seen on platforms like YikYak. (2) alerts are always displayed in the feed by default, but notifications are only sent if they meet our community guidelines [a]. Right now, our team is manually verifying authenticity [b] of posts with eye-witnesses and news sources, and deciding what merits a real-time alert, but in the future we hope to crowdsource this moderation process.
