Rape threat tweets raise concerns about hate speech on social media - National | Globalnews.ca

Criado-Perez mentions numerous times on her account that she is documenting and reporting every threat to the police; however, she has criticized Twitter for not making it easier for users to report tweets.

Currently, Twitter does not have a “report abuse” button for individual tweets on its web-based version – the feature is only available on the Twitter for iPhone app. On the app-based version, the user has the option to flag the tweet as “abusive” and requires the user to fill out a form. On the web-based version, users are only able to block or report a user for spam – there is no option to flag the user for abusive comments.
