I wonder if Twitter is susceptible to mass report attacks. I strongly suspect many of these systems just automatically suspend someone for too many reports. This makes it convenient if you don't like someone else's politics to just get a group to mass report them and you can silence whomever you want.
- pjc50 10y agoThis is definitely a problem which some users have been exploiting on twitter.

Also, people like ASMR artists have seen a lot of takedowns of completely innocuous videos where they crinkle paper or something, just because people flagged it because they thought it's stupid and ridiculous.
- phyzome 10y agoIt is. I won't go into details, but yes, it can be gamed.
