 ## Issue reporting
-If you discover an issue with snscrape, please report it at <https://github.com/JustAnotherArchivist/snscrape/issues>. If you use the CLI, please run snscrape with `-vv` and include the log output in the issue. If you use snscrape as a module, please enable debug-level logging using `import logging; logging.basicConfig(level = logging.DEBUG)` (before using snscrape at all) and include the log output in the issue.
-
-### Dump files
-In some cases, debugging may require more information than is available in the log. The CLI has a `--dump-locals` option that enables dumping all local variables within snscrape based on important log messages (rather than, by default, only on crashes). Note that the dump files may contain sensitive information in some cases and could potentially be used to identify you (e.g. if the service includes your IP address in its response). If you prefer to arrange a file transfer privately, just mention that in the issue.
+If you discover an issue with snscrape, please report it at <https://github.com/JustAnotherArchivist/snscrape/issues>.
