I had an interesting person follow me today and I want to talk about How Twitter Needs to fix this problem:
[intlink id=”3501″ type=”post”]In my previous post[/intlink], I talked about Twitter needing to fix spam problems and here’s why. It’s Called Tweet Tornado and you pay $100 for this program a Month. On the Page, they talk about downloading this software and using it:
[ad]Now as you can on there website this plainly states this is SPAM. I wouldn’t install this software or even use it because of the possibility of having a Virus, Trojan, or even Malware attached to the program. I can say now that what I’ve seen of this website is that Twitter needs to come up with a way to fix this problem. I must warn you that if you do start using this software, you might end up with not internet or even worse if Twitter decides to come after you for damages to bandwidth. This software violates Twitter TOS:
You must not abuse, harass, threaten, impersonate or intimidate other Twitter users
You must not modify, adapt or hack Twitter.com or modify another website so as to falsely imply that it is associated with Twitter.com .
You must not create or submit unwanted email to any Twitter members (“Spam”)
As you can tell by using this software you are using a Bot that one probably is Spamming by means of either your current users or creating accounts and using the account to post a message with keywords. This will ultimately come down to Twitter to fix problem because this will create more bandwidth problems for Twitter and will start costing money for Twitter. Twitter users want this to be a free service but sooner or later if Twitter doesn’t do anything Twitter users will start paying for their mistake. Twitter will need to Modify it’s Terms of Service to Help prevent spam on the network because they have a Duty to it’s users to make this a safe place for teens and young children because some of these sites as you’ve seen on [intlink id=”3501″ type=”post”]my previous post[/intlink] are not safe for kids. Twitter needs to consider that there are Young people on their service Teens and Kids over the age of 13 unless Twitter wants to make it so you have to be an Adult to use there service. That could happen but I am sure this will not happen.
I also did not directly link to the website and I also made it so you can’t find the website easily but If twitter wants to know the website they can email me and I’ll share them the website, I have no problem tell them! I post this to show how Twitter needs to think about changing there TOS and also implement changes to ways to help prevent spam.
