If I had enough followers and was part of this program what prevents me from harassing another user via notes and getting my followers to mark my note as helpful?
- krapp 4y agoIf you have enough followers, what prevents you from harassing another user anyway? Crowdsourced, targeted harassment already happens all the time. This seems like it would just be a more convoluted and troublesome means to an already available end.
- ketzo 4y agoBut this would be like putting an official “sanctioned by Twitter” badge on that harassment.
- bakugo 4y agoThe “sanctioned by Twitter” badge already existed before this, it's called the verification checkmark. Many checkmarked accounts break twitter's rules on a daily basis, you can get away with almost anything if you're on the same side of the political spectrum as them.
- tjpnz 4y agoPlacement would also be an issue under such a scenario. Normally you would need to scroll a bit before seeing "ratios" and other stupid shit but now that's guaranteed to be above the fold. Presumably this will also work if I've chosen to restrict replies.
- mikebonnell 4y agoAs far as I can tell from testing Birdwatch earlier is that you can't proactively choose new notes and can only act on ones that are designated for you.
