## Description

Predator Alert Tool for Twitter empowers you to document harassment on Twitter and
alert others about predatory users. What constitutes “predatory” is entirely up 
to you; the software makes no claim as to what behavior hurts you. Predator Alert
Tool for Twitter can be used to, for example, flag trolls, [warn your followers about rapists](https://apps.facebook.com/predator-alert-tool/),
or to [expose cops and snitches who use social media](https://apps.facebook.com/cop-block-tool/).
Moreover, what you share can not be censored or removed by Twitter itself because
Twitter is never informed of your report.

Predator Alert Tool for Twitter is part of [an Internet-wide anti-abuse effort](http://days.maybemaimed.com/post/69212634122/predator-alert-tool-co-creators-aim-to-build-sexual):

> The “report abuse” button on websites shouldn’t go to the site admins. It should
> go to the rest of the user community.

This plugin implements the public domain [Predator Alert Tool for Twitter server component](https://github.com/meitar/pat-twitter/)
as a WordPress plugin, turning your blog into a “PAT-Twitter facilitator” so you
can help protect your community from the people who threaten or harm you.

Currently, the plugin provides only those functions available in the standard component,
but patches to extend that functionality are welcome.
