Twitter might seem nice and innocent to a nonchalant user, but they might soon begin killing spammy accounts with one stone. According to a current News.com article, accounts flagged as spam will be removed. Employees of Twitter have been chirping up a storm about the new policy in their Google group forum.
Previously, blacklisted accounts were simply frozen to adding new followers, but as the amount of users on the service has increased, so have the spammers — therefore, new policies had to be put into place. Users will be notified prior to their accounts being removed and have a opportunity to plead their case to the large bird in Twitterville.
