# Social Media Abuse-Reporting Systems Periscope Sets Out to Deal with Trolls on Its Platform By Meghan Young | Published 2016-06-01 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abusereporting-system References: [fastcompany](http://www.fastcompany.com/3060409/twitters-periscope-has-a-new-way-to-deal-with-trolls-trial-by-jury) & [periscope](https://www.periscope.tv) Although trolling on the Internet has become almost a necessary evil of free speech, one platform has created a more in-depth abuse-reporting system in order to curb the nasty behavior. Twitter's Periscope particularly suffers from a barrage of negative remarks, especially since it allows comments to float in real time across the screen -- often directly over the broadcaster’s face. In order to combat these occurrences, Periscope's abuse-reporting system "puts comment moderation in the hands of so-called flash juries," writes Fast Company. When a comment is reported as abusive by one viewer, others will have the opportunity to chime in. If the majority agree it is, the offending user will receive a 60-second ban from posting further comments. That might not seem like a long time, but things happen quickly on the Internet. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.4/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Enhanced Abuse-reporting Systems:** Improving abuse-reporting systems to effectively deal with trolls and negative behavior on online platforms, such as Periscope. - **Community Moderation Approaches:** Implementing community moderation strategies where viewers have a say in reporting and banning abusive users on social media platforms. - **Real-time Comment Management:** Developing innovative systems to manage and filter real-time comments to minimize the impact of abusive and negative remarks. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Social Media Platforms:** Social media platforms like Periscope can capitalize on improving abuse-reporting systems to enhance user experience and foster a safer online environment. - **Online Community Management:** The field of online community management can explore new approaches and technologies to effectively moderate and handle abusive behavior on social media platforms. - **Content Moderation Solutions:** Companies specializing in content moderation can develop and provide innovative tools and services to combat abusive comments and maintain a positive online atmosphere. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Safety-Oriented Social Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instagram-10.md) - [Personalized Social Feedback Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dislike-button-1.md) - [Voice-Chat Reporting Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/safety-feature.md) - [Algorithm-Free Social Media Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rtro.md) - [Teen-Protecting Social Media Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instagram-limit-restrict.md) - [Employee Abuse-Reporting Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abusereporting-app.md) - [Online Safety Intelligence](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-reporting.md) - [Content Moderation Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/censorfy.md) - [Revenue-Generating Streaming Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hype-chat.md)
