The solution to bot farms mass-reporting real accounts into oblivion is so obvious it hurts.
Tie the report button to verification.
No blue check? No report. Simple.
You want to flag someone's account? Cool β prove you're a real person first. Pay your $8. Verify your identity. Then you've earned the right to report.
Right now any bot with a burner email can report you into suspension. They don't need followers. They don't need posts. They just need the report button and 500 of their closest bot friends.
Verification was supposed to mean something. Make it mean something.
@X, this isn't complicated.
