Twitter Unveils 'Report as Spam' Feature
Wondering if that spike in Twitter followers is actually the work of spammers? Twitter on Tuesday unveiled a new tool that makes it easier to report suspected users.
"Click the 'Report as spam' button under the Actions section of a profile's sidebar and our Trust and Safety team will check it out to see what needs to be done," Twitter's Jenna Dawn wrote in a blog post.
Before you concoct a devious plan to get someone kicked off Twitter by reporting them as spam, Dawn stressed that the tool will not result in some sort of automatic action against the suspected spammer. Instead, it will simply block the person from following or replying to you.
