Twitter has millions of 'fake' accounts, and accounts that use spamtrap email addresses, from stolen data.
How is that a problem for anyone but Twitter? (Coincidentally, I happened to be discussing the Twitter fake accounts problem with some other folks recently. One guy who works for a security firm claims to have spotted one set of around 200,000 of them. I myself saw someone on a hacker forum claiming to have just simply "bought" 30,000 Twitter followers. My reaction to both of these bits of news is just to yawn. I don't see how any of it affects -me-. This is Twitter's problem. It's their walled garden. If they elect not to properly police it, well then, as the old saying goes, they are shitting where they eat, and it will catch up to them eventually. As long as they are not sending spam -to me- ... which they aren't... I don't see why I should give a damn.) You also wrote:
Twitter is by far the worst spammer of all the multinationals,
Personally, I've never seen a single piece of *email* spam from Twitter. So this is news to me. Can you post a sample please?
