Twitter today announced<\/a> a new feature that will allow users to appeal directly within the Twitter app a tweet that\u2019s in violation of Twitter\u2019s rules. When users post content in violation of Twitter\u2019s guidelines, that tweet can be flagged or reported, resulting in an account suspension or lockout. Before, users would have to visit an online form<\/a> to appeal Twitter\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n

Accounts can be suspended for a range of activity, including spam, being a fake account<\/a>, security risks (like hacked accounts) and abusive tweets or behavior such as sending threats or impersonating other accounts. (The latter, which Twitter itself recently did<\/a> as a joke. Ha ha ha. How hilarious to send 2FA codes over DM!)<\/p>\n

We move quickly to enforce our rules, but sometimes we don\u2019t have the full context and can make mistakes.<\/p>\n

To fix that, we added a way for people to appeal our decision in the app and have been able to get back to people 60% faster than before. pic.twitter.com\/0BWBnff9lt<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, instead of having to locate the online form to start an appeal, users can instead choose to appeal from within the Twitter app itself the tweet in violation.<\/p>\n

Twitter claims it\u2019s now able to get back to people 60 percent faster as a result.<\/p>\n

The new process involves Twitter displaying the tweet in violation and the reason why it determined the tweet broke its rules, along with a description of the rule in question and a link to the policy. On the next screen, users can either choose to remove the tweet that violates Twitter\u2019s rules or they can appeal the violation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Of course, an appeal doesn\u2019t immediately restore access to your Twitter account, if suspended \u2014 you\u2019ll still have to wait for Twitter\u2019s ruling. If that goes on for too long, you can return to cancel the appeal and just delete the tweet instead at any time to regain access to your account.<\/p>\n

But if you proceed to appeal the tweet, you can explain why the tweet was mistakenly flagged.<\/p>\n

In an example Twitter showed off today<\/a>, a user posted what appeared to be a violent threat but was really just an inside joke about a video game, they explained.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The addition is a small change to the larger and much more complex process of handling the tweets that are in violation of Twitter\u2019s rules. That\u2019s an area where Twitter has been<\/a> heavily<\/a> criticized<\/a> as it has been unable to get a handle on rampant harassment and abuse despite evolving its rules and policies<\/a> to cover a range of bad behavior.<\/p>\n

In an effort to better explain its decisions, the company recently said it will develop new ways to label tweets<\/a> that violated its abuse terms, so those who come across them have a better understanding of the context when those tweets aren\u2019t taken down. For example, tweets posted by public figures that aren\u2019t direct violent threats \u2014 but are in \u201cthe public interest\u201d \u2014 might remain, but be labeled.<\/p>\n

Twitter also changed the way it displayed<\/a> reported tweets, so people could understand why enforcement actions had been taken.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s working on more dramatic changes to its app \u2014 like giving users the ability to hide the @replies they don\u2019t like<\/a>.<\/p>\n
