In order to keep the timeline healthy, Twitter re-released a new feature for users. This feature allows Twitter users to report accounts that are indicated as "bots" or fake accounts.

This feature was announced by Twitter through its official account. Through the tweet, Twitter also released a guide so users can immediately report if there is an account suspected of being a fake account. "Activities that try to manipulate or disrupt Twitter services will not be permitted.

We will delete it when we see it. You can now determine what type of spam you see when reporting an account, including fake accounts, "Twitter wrote. The way to report this fake account is quite easy. The user simply presses the arrow button in the upper right corner of the account in question.

Then select "report tweet". After that, select the "Suspicious or spam" option in that option. Next, there will be a selection of reasons to choose from, including indications of fake accounts. To report a fake account, choose the reason "The account Tweeting this is fake".

According to a Twitter spokesman, this report feature will help Twitter to get more detailed information and then delete the account. Thus Twitter users can also work together to create a more conducive timeline. "This new reporting flow will help us to gather more detailed information.

So we can identify and delete fake accounts more effectively. With a more detailed review, we will add resources to this process, "said the spokesman.

Quoted by KompasTekno from The Verge, Friday (11/2/2018), Twitter itself is currently being intensively protecting their services from accounts that often spread false news. There are more than 70 million accounts that were deleted in the middle of 2018.

Previously, the CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey also planned to delete the "like" button, because it was considered to trigger an unhealthy debate. However, it is not yet clear whether this step will be taken as soon as possible or not.
