Twitter follow bots cut off from API, as accounts disabled for spreading misinformation from Iran and elsewhere |
Texte |
ManageFlitter, Statusbrew, and Crowdfire have had their access to the Twitter API revoked for allegedly helping users abuse the service, aggressively and repeatedly following an unfollowing large numbers of other accounts - a tactic frequently employed by Twitter spammers.
Meanwhile, Twitter and Facebook share details of the accounts they have shut down after finding they were spreading misinformation in the run-up to the US midterm elections.
