Yes, private Twitter accounts can be reported just like public accounts. If a private account is violating Twitter’s policies—such as engaging in harassment, posting harmful content, or impersonating someone—you can report them using Twitter’s built-in reporting feature.

However, since their tweets are private, Twitter will not allow non-followers to view or include their tweets in the report. Instead, the report will be based on the profile, bio, or any direct interactions you have had with the account.

If you are an approved follower and you report a private account’s tweet, Twitter will review the reported content. But they will not make the tweet public or share it with non-followers, as private content remains confidential even during the reporting process.
