Less than 72 hours after the so-called snitch form's launch, Utah Auditor John Dougall said they had received nearly 4,000 'bogus' complaints from trolls and not a single 'verifiable' report.
Utah passed a law in January restricting bathroom use to birth sex. To police the law, they created a Hotline Complaint Form Utah has been trolled with 4,000 hoax entries in 72 hours after launching a 'snitch form' for the public to report transgender people for using the 'wrong' bathrooms.
The vague form has a space for people to submit 'evidence' of violations, but no checks on what they upload which critics say encourages people to photograph strangers in restrooms. The Utah Auditor's office created the five-question form to comply with law HB257 'Sex-based Designations for Privacy, Anti-bullying and Women’s Opportunities'.
Instead the complaints have been 'bogus', he said: 'For example, if they have my name as a complainant, you know, I’m not complaining.' In response, trolls have flooded the form with fake entries. Sharing the link on a Reddit forum, one user said: 'They're essentially inviting people to attach d**k pics for official government inspection.'Under the legislation, transgender people can defend themselves against complaints by proving they had gender-affirming surgery and changed the sex on their birth certificate
