Quote
“In many cases, spammy content is hidden on Twitter on the basis of automated detections. When spammy content is hidden on Twitter from areas like search and conversations, that may not affect its availability via the API. This means certain types of spam may be visible via Twitter’s API even if it is not visible on Twitter itself. Less than 5 percent of Twitter accounts are spam-related.”
So how can you thank Twitter? It looks like they are disregarding what the company has unraveled. If Twitter doesn't react positively, their systems will be overrun by this ultra sophisticated AI bots that's its going to be different to differentiate because this bots have evolved to have AI.
