Sounds like a certain way to have your twitter account suspended.

easytiger • Jan 15, 2021 • View on HN

Presumably against twitter's T&C?

This sounds like it would be against Twitter's terms of service.

unlinker • Apr 24, 2016 • View on HN

What's Twitter going to do against that?

Doesn’t Twitter just shut this sort of thing down?

MichaelGG • Jul 28, 2017 • View on HN

Is Twitter adversarial about it, like so they try to prevent people from doing that?

jrv • Jul 15, 2020 • View on HN

Wouldn't Twitter have locked the affected accounts by now then?

jeggers5 • Dec 20, 2011 • View on HN

Be careful, pretty sure this is against Twitter's ToC.

lkxijlewlf • May 11, 2022 • View on HN

Should twitter update it's ToS so that it doesn't have to?

davidw • Oct 30, 2008 • View on HN

Might it get you banned from twitter if you're not careful?
