Twitter Adds More Options to Report Tweets Sharing Personal Information

Twitter's looking to improve its response to violations of personal privacy on the platform by adding a new option for users to specify the type of personal information being shared via tweet. As you can see in the example above, now, when reporting a tweet which shares private information, users will be referred to an extra listing which will enable them to specify whether the tweet contains contact information, a home address or physical location, financial information, or government issued ID info. Which is good - the capacity to provide more specific information will help users more accurately, and easily, report any such issue at hand, and help Twitter's team understand the problem faster (and worth noting, Twitter rolled out similar options for spam tweets late last year). But what Twitter hasn't said is what that means on their end, how Twitter will respond, based on each type of report.
