factors like whether the behavior is targeted at an individual or a group of people, and if a report has been filed and by whom
Why should it matter who reports it? Either its in violation or it isn't. This is weaselly in the extreme.
- mcbits 9y agoTwitter's words are that one factor they may consider is "the report has been filed by the target of the abuse or a bystander." That seems reasonable enough because the "target" may not consider it abuse at all, even if the same behavior against someone else in a different context would cross the line. Getting reported by the target is a stronger signal than being reported by a misguided (if well-meaning) bystander who files a dozen questionable reports every day.
