Twitter Cracks Down On Spambots With New Rules

Description

Twitter is cracking down on bots and automated tweets. The company is making it harder for them to spam the site using third-party apps. The applications must no longer let users tweet the same message to several accounts at the same time. Twitter recommends using retweets as an alternative, but also warns that particularly aggressive re-tweeting also counts as spam. The rules will come into force on March 23. Developers who don’t update their apps in time risk having their apps and accounts suspended.
