Like the governments that promoting security and safety at the expense of privacy and freedom, Twitter has a too bad a record of dealing with internal abuse to be trusted. For example, there were stories about them stealing usernames from people (because a celebrity showed up). Similarly, any kind of process they set up for dealing with external abuse can be abused; people will be flagging accounts they disagree with, hoping they would be banned, and other people would DDOS the system by flagging too many accounts, making it impossible for Twitter to keep up with it.
The solution is simple: set up a new service, see if users use it.
