Last December, Twitter ran a limited test in the U.S. for a new Report Tweet flow — designed to improve the process of flagging offensive or dangerous content on site by adding more options for explaining whatever the issue happened to be. The test worked: the number of actionable reports increased by 50%, leading to Twitter removing more bad stuff. Now, Twitter using that learning to update the feature globally: the new Report Tweet update is rolling out around the world.

From our tests, it looks like it’s still only in English, and it hasn’t turned on any localized versions of the report that might respond to issues more common in one region over another. (We’ve reached out to Twitter to ask whether either of those will be getting addressed in the future.)
