Description

Potential harassers will be flagged on Twitter based on certain search terms, like “heil hitler” and #1488 (a neo-nazi code word). Their info will be stored in a json file, and pulled up on a web application. Any users that are flagged as nazis will have their information Tweeted out by a bot so anyone who follows the bot will be notified and able to report the abuse.
