Twitter sets crackdown on automated ´bot´ accounts

in #technology8 years ago

The San Francisco messaging platform said the move was intended to rid the service of spam-spewing automated accounts, and not aimed at people using the service according to the rules.

"These changes are an important step in ensuring we stay ahead of malicious activity targeting the crucial conversations taking place on Twitter -- including elections in the United States and around the world," Twitter developer policy lead Yoel Roth said in a blog post.

"To be clear: Twitter prohibits any attempt to use automation for the purposes of posting or disseminating spam, and such behavior may result in enforcement action."
"Twitter´s tools are apolitical," the spokesperson said.

"This is part of our ongoing, comprehensive efforts to make Twitter safer and healthier for everyone."
