Twitter Shutting Down Spammers

[HardOCP News]

According to a post made on the official Twitter blog yesterday, the company is filing lawsuits against the biggest spammers on Twitter, in hopes of shutting them down.

This morning, we filed suit in federal court in San Francisco against five of the most aggressive tool providers and spammers. With this suit, we’re going straight to the source. By shutting down tool providers, we will prevent other spammers from having these services at their disposal. Further, we hope the suit acts as a deterrent to other spammers, demonstrating the strength of our commitment to keep them off Twitter.

Be nice if ISPs did the same thing with their email services.

Hope this works. I hate getting notifications only for them to be spammers mentioning me.
