React to/Give feedback on existing signals

You can express a structured opinion on signal you see on ThreatExchange by reacting or providing feedback to that signal. This is a fully optional feature that can be used to provide more context or transparency about your ThreatExchange usage.

In general, SAW_THIS_TOO, NON_MALICIOUS, and DISAGREE_WITH_TAGS have well-undestood meaning, and are valuable contributions to any dataset. The rest are sometimes used as part of PrivacyGroup-specific conventions, or to provide a high level of transparency into your own usage of ThreatExchange data.

Values

As of Jan 2023:

Name	Usage Category	Description
`SAW_THIS_TOO`	Ingestion status.	The object has been observed on-platform by the reactor. Using this reaction can help track platform spread. Implies `INGESTED`.
`NON_MALICIOUS`	Feedback after review.	The object has been reviewed and found to be non-malicious. This is equivalent to uploading the same object but with the `StatusType` of `NON_MALICIOUS`. A reaction is often preferable, as it will not leave extra objects in ThreatExchange if the original object is later retracted. Implies `REVIEWED`.
`DISAGREE_WITH_TAGS`	Feedback after review.	The object has been reviewed and the reactor would have tagged it differently. Many PrivacyGroups use tags in order to categorize data by convention. `DISAGREE_WITH_TAGS` without an upload by the same reactor with their preference in tagging is equivalent to a `NON_MALICIOUS` report. If the owner of the object changes the tags, this reaction will automatically be removed. Implies `REVIEWED`.
`ACTION_TAKEN`	Feedback after review.	The reactor found harmful content associated with the signal, and as a result removed or blocked it from the platform. Implies `HELPFUL`.
`HELPFUL`	Ad-hoc feedback.	The object helped lead to the discovery of harmful content. Implies `REVIEWED`.
`NOT_HELPFUL`	Ad-hoc feedback.	The object seems to lead to non-malicious content. Implies `REVIEWED`.
`OUTDATED`	Ad-hoc feedback.	The object is outdated or can no longer be evaluated. Implies `INGESTED`.
`WANT_MORE_INFO`	Request for information.	More information requested about this object. Implies `INGESTED`.
`INGESTED`	Ingestion status.	The content was downloaded by the reactor and is awaiting further processing.
`ALREADY_KNOWN`	Ingestion status.	The object is equivalent to information already known to the reactor. Implies `SAW_THIS_TOO`.
`IN_REVIEW`	Ingestion status.	The object is being reviewed, or the object has been matched to content on platform that is being reviewed. Implies `SAW_THIS_TOO`.
`REVIEWED`	Ingestion status.	The object has been reviewed, or the object has been matched to content on platform that has been reviewed. Implies `SAW_THIS_TOO`.
`NOT_ON_PLATFORM`	Ingestion status.	The object does not exist on the reactors platform. Implies `INGESTED`.
