Twitter Killing Off Spam Accounts

[HardOCP News]

If they are truly trying to provide "realistic" numbers, Twitter needs to get rid of fake, dupe and inactive accounts after killing off spam accounts.

Twitter killed off spam accounts in run-up to IPO. In the months before its IPO filing, Twitter worked hard to purge fake and spam accounts in order to provide advertisers with realistic user numbers. But you can still buy fake followers.

"Twitter worked hard to purge fake and spam accounts, long a thorn in the company's side and an impediment to its ability to attract advertisers."

Oh, the irony.

Killing off spam accounts? You mean, there are twitter accounts that ARENT just spamming nonsense?
