How to report violations

The Twitter Trust & Safety team responds to potential violations of the Twitter Rules and Terms of Service. Using the information below, find out what constitutes a violation, and what information you'll need to provide to get the quickest resolution to a problem.

Here's what we'll require when you file a report:

• Your Twitter Username
• A detailed description of your issue
• Direct links to any Tweets you'd like us to review (to find the direct status links to individual Tweets, see our help page.)

Each policy page below has more information on the reporting topic and submitting a support ticket request.

You can report spam directly from the user profile page; find out how on the Reporting Spam on Twitter help page. The Twitter Rules describes what behaviors indicate spam.
