Would you expand this to allow reporting of bots and manipulated accounts? I've seen a ton of false reports about the RU invasion of UA from recently-created accounts this week.

I suppose bots can still be reported with this as spam

When you report a tweet today, twitter only allows to report for these categories: https://imgur.com/a/uoS3dZe

I'm not sure what category would apply to 'manipulated accounts' and how you would establish that. Objectively false information could probably be reported as 'misleading' I suppose? I'd be open to facilitating that if there's significant interest - might need to add a new button for that category.

I see where this is headed :D
